Paraje Arevalo

The chefs at this small restaurant have résumés that include stints at Fat Duck  (consistently rated one of the best restaurants in the world or THE best restaurant in the world) and Mugaritz. The menu changes daily and features decadent risottos and salads with locally sourced ingredients. We had 8 courses (or 10 if you count the amuse and pallat cleanser.)  We were also lucky to dine with the illustrious Buenos Aires restaurant reviewer Danna W, who wrote about this dinner:

"With eight courses and six wines and amazing service we had one of the best dinning experiences ever. The decor is simple and unpretentious while still quite quaint. The timing of each wine and dish was nothing less than spot on."

We went off the grid and had the 8 course tasting menu with wine pairings.

Three of the six wines. All from Mendoza. Sauvignon Blanc (a favorite,) Pinot Noir (a favorite), and Malbec (another favorite.)

Amanda talks with the chef. I think she was telling him that either we were all "allergic to food" or we were "allergic to bad food."

"The food was excellent. The wine fantastic! The best part of all was the company! All of you girls made the night unforgettable!! More please!" -Becky
