“ Excellente découverte ! Très bien accueilli, notamment avec deux cocktails argentins . Les plats sont d’une qualité remarquable, très travaillés. Le plus surprenant (pour ma première virée argentine) sont les saveurs en bouche, un délice. J’y reviendrai volontiers ”
“ Nos encantó mucho, muy amables y atentos. Carla es muy cercana y te dedica tiempo hablando de cada plato. Nosotros probamos la variedad de empanadas, el bife, el peceto y el chori criollo los cuales estaban muy buenos. De postre pedimos banoffee, alfajor y el postre del momento (brownie con crema de cacahuete)estaba espectacular todo, se nota que son caseros. Además le pedí a Carla que me aconsejara un vino, me preguntó cómo me solían gustar y el que me presentó fue muy acertado. No somos de Toulouse pero repetiríamos sin dudarlo ”
“ Fuimos a cenar y nos encantó. Destacaría todo, el lugar, la comida, la atención. Simplemente increíble todo y los dueños no pueden ser más majos y la dueña siempre recomendando y explicando todos los platos. Nos encantó todo y el cóctel de café impresionante. Repetiremos sin ninguna duda. ”
“ Real Argentinian home cooked food. Perfect and personal service. ”
“ Very nice restaurant. Good service and food. It's a small restaurant. To try something different, I recommend! ”
“ A genuine venue. French-Argentinian couple own and operate the place and their care shows. The chef shares openly about the food and the process. An elderly couple dance tango in the intimate space if you arrive early in the evening. We are coming back with a prepared appetite. ”
