"Best restaurant in La Plata, old style, dress appropriately or you’ll feel uncomfortable. All the elite from the capital city of the Province of Buenos Aires goes there. It’s chef is one of the best in Argentina. The prices are below 25 dollars per person. It’d be 200 in the USA"
Julio Spinelli
"Very nice restaurant with excellent service provided by experienced waiters. We had three different dishes, mine was Malbec beef tenderloin, all outstanding. Their desserts were good but not exceptional. Although not the cheapest, their prices are very reasonable. Definitely recommended."
Enrique Prati
"I'm in La Plata 2 o 3 times a year and usually I eat there at least once in every visit. In my opinion is probably the best restaurant in the city and not very expensive for the food and service you get there specially compared to other traditional restaurants. Try it, you'll like it!"
