An absolutely amazing green space in the centre of Mendoza. The park is absolutely huge, you could spend hours here. The lake in the centre is a lovely place for a leisurely stroll. There are also several market stalls and food trucks dotted throughout the park. A wonderful place to spend a sunny afternoon.

Gorgeous park to walk off all the meat and wine that you will eat in Mendoza. You can rent bicycles, run, or just walk around and enjoy the beautiful vegetation, lakes, monuments, fountains. Absolutely 💯 worth the visit.

Peaceful lovely gardens… clean, lovely to see families, couples, dog walkers relaxing in nature

A huge park with tree lined walks. Beautiful. Clean. Safe. Walked there several times during my stay

Great place for a stroll, bike ride, running, etc. Large, green, and beautiful park.

Loved this beautiful park - so much space to walk around, great cafes and a lovely place to spend a sunny day.

I've never been at huge park like this one. It's so nice, organized and cozy. It's a nice place to spend with your family and friends, by the way, amazing park.

Very alive. I felt safe. If you wanna enjoy the city, don’t miss the bus city tour ($38 aprox)

Very gorgeous park that is super clean, it’s used as intended and safe. Wonderful park that in the afternoon has people selling their artisanal crafts

Plaza Independencia is a beautiful and lively place to spend some time in Mendoza. The park is filled with huge, mature trees that offer plenty of shade, and the sound of the water fountains adds a really peaceful vibe. In the center, there’s an underground museum that’s worth checking out. It feels totally safe, with families, couples, and friends relaxing on benches or shopping at the pop-up vendor booths. A great spot to take a walk, sit with a coffee, or just enjoy the energy of the city.

This is exactly what a park should be. A place for everyone to hang out, escape the chaos of daily life and relax with your friends or loved ones. I visited the park during the Christmas time and it was decorated accordingly with a market on Tuesday and a beautiful Christmas tree. The sunset in the park was beautiful and we were lucky to catch a glimpse of a fountain show accompanied by Disney music. The Avengers theme is to this day goosebump inducing. Walking through the park was the first time during my stay here that it actually felt like Christmas. A lovely place and I truly recommend hanging out here!

This is Mendoza's biggest park and has a pretty fountain. It is a very interesting place where you can see performances and artistic activities everywhere on weekends. There are a lot of people, but it's not unpleasant. I was fascinated by the lively atmosphere there. The streets are not dirty, music is flowing, and small temporary stores sell various cute ornaments, bowls, and souvenirs, so I think it would be interesting to watch even if I didn't buy them. While in Mendoza, I visited this place every evening to take a walk or sit down and listen to music. It was a very nice place.

Good plaza\park with artist selling, the water fountain has a show and is the center of Mendoza city but you have to be careful there is a lot of people stealing or doing drugs

Love this place. There is such a great vibe here. You feel totally safe, even with tons of people around. The park is surrounded by tons of great restaurants. The water show at nice is cool.

We definitely expected more after reading some reviews. It’s quite underwhelming, and only has a view from one side which is nice. We walked from independence plaza through the park which wasn’t very nice in certain areas especially at the end as you are walking next to a busy road. The actual pedestrian climb to the monument wasn’t that bad but was a little steep. Potentially because we walked 2 hours to get there, we were a little unimpressed. If you have a morning to kill & you have nothing else to do then we would say to go

Great spot to see the surroundings, has a big parking, lots of people are spending their free time here. A nice place for sure

I was lucky that I found a local guide that was off duty and told me some details about San Martin, his troops and the Spanish priest who thought the locals how to work with steel. Peru was one of the first countries that recognised and paid tribute to San Martin

Beautiful views and a spectacular monument. We walked all the way up and and its long and quite steep in places but definitely worthwhile to avoid traffic and the car park.

Hermoso lugar , están remodelando lo que era el antiguo kiosko me parece una excelente obra ya que es un lugar Muy visitado por turistas beautiful place, remodeling of the old market, excellent work since it is a place very popular with tourists, it represents freedom before Spain It is the only statue of San Martin in which he does not point to the Andes mountain range, he observes the place with crossed arms once the campaign is over

Beautiful view of Mendoza!

What a beautiful place to remember the cost of freedom! I pray the USA can also remember her hero’s like Argentina does!

A nice place to visit for some pictures of delicate mosaic work, including some nice tile work, lighting fixtures and fountains.

Nicest of the 5 plazas around this area! Nice place to chill.

It has tiles with all the Spanish provinces which I've found interesting and unique. A good spot to take a rest and hide from the sun

Great square with beautiful mozaik

Probably the prettiest square among the 5 plazas in downtown area. The design and architecture elements are consistent to provide a uniform atmosphere. Seems to be enjoyed by locals and tourists alike daily. good for relaxing and people watching.

One of the four parks/squares situated around Mendoza's main square. All four are different in terms of architecture, structure, materials and general look and feel. A walk between the 4 parks is well worth it.

Well-maintained elegant square in the center of Mendoza. It's dedicated to Spain and replicates sevillan decorations.

A wonderful journey through Mendoza's history. Some information in English would have been helpful, as would some central seating for those wishing to pause and reflect.

A wonderful insight into the origins of the city of Mendoza, it's evolution and its mutual interdependence with Chile. Shame not many English speaking guides but a good opportunity to practise Spanish

Great historical place!

This was the place of the original City hall, then a slaughter house, a market and now finally a museum. You can see the old foundation for the original building. It has some pre-colombian artifacts. It is all in spanish but you can understand most of whats going on. Regular price is $30, students pay $14

Really wanted to go but no point to learn only a fraction of the bountiful amd important history if there are not multilingual explanations and information :(

Nice exhibits but no air conditioning or even fans. Sweltering inside. Also would be nice to have explanations in English too.

Interesting little place. Worth visiting if you are interested in the local history

Went on Sep/2025. Heard from Azafrán by the Michelin website. Food, service and atmosphere on point. Great wine pairing and storytelling, had an amazing time with my friends.

I brought my partner here last night for his birthday and we enjoyed our 3 hour dining experience. The staff were attentive and spoke very good English. They had good knowledge of the menu ingredients and their connection to Argentina. I was impressed with the extensive list of Argentinean wines on offer by the bottle and was also appreciative that there was more than just one red/white to choose from by the glass (whilst my partner enjoyed his Cerveza). We enjoyed the food and loved the presentation but unfortunately we had experienced an exceptional steak elsewhere in Mendoza. Additionally, we feel the Cachapa dish was overly generous, which may have also affected our enjoyment of the steak - hence the 4 star rating. Overall, we enjoyed our experience, so I've given a 5-star rating. For the same level back home, we would be paying significantly more. Thanks, Azafran, for the mini chocolate tart and bubbles at the end - was a lovely touch for the birthday boy!

Both food and service are outstanding! I would say the price (180$ for the set menus and 15$ per wine glass) is not justified at all though! I have been to multiple 1 & 2 star restaurants in European and central/ South America. countries that offered service and culinary experience more elevated for lower prices ….. So for South America and what is being offered , I would say the price makes no sense to me

Azafrán in Mendoza is nothing short of a revelation. In a city known for its wine and culinary prowess, this restaurant stands above the rest—not just as a highlight of the trip, but possibly as one of the best meals we’ve ever had. And we don’t say that lightly. The experience is centered around a single fixed menu, and what a parade it is. Each course arrives with that rare mix of elegance and surprise—flavors you’d never expect to belong together, fitting seamlessly, brilliantly. Every dish felt like its own little universe, thoughtfully composed, beautifully plated, and layered with creativity and restraint. Not once did the menu stumble or feel like it was trying too hard. It just worked—again and again. We highly recommend the wine pairing, though be warned: it’s a lot of wine. But what an experience. Each pour is expertly matched and generously served, introducing you to regional varietals you may never have encountered otherwise. The pairings don’t just complement the food—they elevate it, course after course. The space is intimate and stylish, the service polished yet relaxed. The staff is warm, intuitive, and incredibly well trained. And here’s the kicker: the value is nearly impossible to comprehend. This caliber of cuisine, service, and wine would be unattainable in the U.S.—not because it’s too expensive, but because this level of craft and hospitality simply doesn’t exist at any price. In Europe, it would cost four times as much. Azafrán is that rare dining experience where every element—food, wine, service, setting—aligns perfectly. If you’re in Mendoza, it’s not just a recommendation. It’s a must.

I wanted this to be a 5 star review but I have to say that in comparison to other, more affordable, experiences, Azafran paled in comparison. The food in most cases is good, not great. While it’s beautifully presented, the flavors don’t come through in any special way. The pairings also lacked, and I frequently found myself unsure of why the wine had been selected. There were exceptions to all of this; the steak, which was paired with a beautiful Malbec from MAAL. But even though the steak was amazing, the accompanying vegetables were a total afterthought. The salad was really impeccable, as well.

This was the best meal I had in Mendoza. The menu was inventive and every bite delicious. We were blown away by the meal and wine pairing. Extra kudos for them accommodating my gluten allergy.

Fantastic fine dinning experience in Mendoza. The food was refined and flavoursome, maybe not the most innovative but very enjoyable. The paring was outstanding, as expected in this part of the world. The place itself is good looking. Service was wonderful! Recommended

This is a great Mercado. It’s clean, orderly and safe. It’s more of a fine foods market than farmers market. A great place to great charcuterie and cheese, fresh meat and chicken, dried goods, sweets and wine. There are a couple of tasty places to eat lunch or dinner.

We stopped in for a quick lunch and were treated to some delicious homemade food! We ordered the canelones stuffed with spinach and ricotta, topped with homemade tomato sauce and plenty of cheese. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and reminded me of something my nonna used to make in her kitchen. The portion was generous, and the bread on the side was soft and perfect for dipping in the sauce. A simple, classic dish done really well!

Small market but has plenty of produce and of good quality to choose from. Ideal if you’re looking for charcuterie items or you want condiments such as olives, pickles, fruit/ veg etc. There are coffee shops and snack food bars also if you’re looking for something to eat.

A unique and fun experience with many great selections of various foods. Some, very well priced, others were okay value.

It's a nice place to buy alfajores.

Great place for local delicacies: wines, fish, meats, veggies

It's an old building, and should be a refurbished market. People can buy meat, seafood, fruit, veggies and so on here. There are eateries and restaurants inside, with many local customers.

Absolutely beautiful scenery. A bit difficult to negotiate the paths as people have strayed from the set routes a lot. Would have loved more time here, it's a fantastic park.

5 stars for the park - 1 star for the reservation / payment / access process The access procedure is soooo complicated but absolutely worth it!. Please make sure to preregister your visit on the Parque Aconcagua site. When you get to the main entrance you will need this in order to pay your entrance to the park. Once the payment is completed then you have to go to the office next door to show proof of payment where you will receive the ticket to access the park. Honestly, too many steps that could be combined in just one. If you are driving, you will be able to access the park for around 1 km, then you will have a 15 minute walk to the first lookout at about 3,000 meters. From here you have an amazing view of the Aconcagua. For those fit individuals, you can keep walking for another 45 minutes to another lookout / bridge.

Otherworldly landscape. Air is slightly thinner as hikes start nay 3000m. Be sure to bring cash to pay entry, it's possible to pay with card but they charge 20% more.

Amazing landscape, you have to make a reservation in advance and check in when you arrive in the park but they provide you with a bag for garbage and some other useful information. Just be careful with the mean of transport if you're using the bus because they don't drop you off very close to the park entrance and you have to walk a few kilometers by the highway

The reservation process is cumbersome. Without the help of our hotel concierge we probably couldn’t have navigated it. The price to enter is very low. We drove 3 hours from Maipu, and the drive is truly beautiful. We did the shortest hike, which is the Laguna, and it took 2.5 hours. The hike starts at about 9.5K ft elevation and goes above 10K ft elevation. It’s relatively flat and peaceful. The helicopters are flying back and forth bringing supplies to the people who are doing the Summit climb. It’s beautiful, peaceful and I am glad I was able to experience it.

The road from Mendoza to the park gate is well built but only one lane. People taking road trips to Chile use this road too. So 3 hours for 110 KM. Also need more vendors on the ground to sell water, soup, UV protection & etc. Great view.

Amazing park just on the east side of Andes mountains. The welcome center had very good and helpful information. The views are spectacular and breath taking. The hiking trails run for many kilometers and every step of the way was wonderful. Highly recommended you take extra water and a wind breaker because the winds sometimes can pick up. Fully enjoyed hiking here in view of the tallest mountain in South America.

We visited this winery for lunch and wine tasting in March 2025 from the UK. The service, food and wine were all exemplary. They went completely out of their way to support me when I lost my passport, and even contacted the tourist police and liaised with them on my behalf. I cannot thank them enough and am incredibly grateful for their kindness and understanding. I can't wait to return in the future, and only wish I lived nearer! Highly recommend

Visiting Casa Vigil was an amazing experience. The place is beautiful, the food is delicious (and not too expensive for what it is) and the service is exceptional. Gian, Bruno, and the new sommelier (whose name I can't remember right now, sorry!) were super kind, knowledgeable, and just great to hang out with. To anyone visiting Mendoza and looking to drink some wine and have a good time, this is the place.

Outside: -5/10 Inside the restaurant: 15/10 Outside review: We arrived at 11:20am for our 11:30am reservation. We were told to take a seat outside and wine would be served to us while we waited…sounds lovely. However 30 minutes later, no wine, no tour, no communication. 45 minutes later…still nothing. 1 hour later we hunted down the hostess to tell her we had a 3:30pm reservation 45 minutes away and we were now concerned we would be late for it as we didn’t want to rush a Michelin star lunch. She said she would tell the restaurant of our timing needs and sat us at the restaurant with no tour. We still don’t know what happened and why we waited for an hour in the cold… Inside (restaurant) review: Literally the opposite of outside. WOW WOW WOW. The food!! The service!!! Leo is the king. His hospitality is genuinely unmatched. He went above and beyond so many times. I unfortunately missed the Som’s name but he might be my favorite som I’ve encountered in life so far- so knowledgeable, so approachable, soooo good at describing wines visually and verbally. And his energy is muy muy tranquilo in the best way. I’m not a big flesh person in general but the rib was EXQUISITE. Leo also brought us a little side of the pasta which was delectable as well. And the deserts were the icing on the proverbial cake. 10/10 for food, 20/10 for service. One more note against the host — she said she would let the restaurant know we were on a tight timeline (that she made tight, not us 🙄) and she didn’t. We let Leo know and he moved heaven and earth to get us our desserts and check in time to not be too late, but I *know* he would have timed us perfectly if she told him like she said she would. She did him and us a disservice. Also, nothing was ever said about the missed tour or the hour-long wait to be seated, but holy smokes did the restaurant work to turn our experience around. They deserve all of the stars. Now if only they could train the staff outside to be at their level… TLDR: We were there 3.5 hours and they had to RUSH our dessert because the hostess didn’t do her job. For an expensive meal (that was *incredible*), it’s rather inexcusable. I will update this review if they reach out in any way.

Casa Vigil Mendoza felt more like a brand showroom since nothing is actually produced on-site. The visit was poorly organized and the tour was over in a flash. We tasted three wines and were given just two crackers with their olive oil. For 100 USD per person, it did not feel worth it, especially considering I visited other wineries in the area for half the price and enjoyed a much deeper, more engaging experience. Perhaps having lunch there during the tour, even at double the price, would have been a better choice.

One question: how does this place have a Michelin star??? Absolutely horrendous service and management. It’s a total tourist trap that’s not up to Michelin standards. I never leave reviews but this experience has compelled me to write this. Food wasn’t bad at all but it was way overpriced. We got our wine “pairings” an hour before each course came out. Is it normal to wait an hour between courses? Other tables took precedence over us, water refills were few and far between. The manager didn’t seem to care about making it right, only offered us to come back and try again. It’s one thing to suck but is another thing to suck and not attempt to make it right. Finally, we spoke to someone who was willing to take some accountability and apologize which was much appreciated. My wife and I will never recommend this place to anyone and specifically tell people to avoid it. We should have got a sandwich and bottle of wine from a kiosko instead.

One of my best dining experiences while in Mendoza. Service is impeccable. Food presentation is outstanding.

We had a 3 course tasting with the 3 enemigos wine pairing for $130 each. The appetiser and main were amazing. The dessert was meh at best. I had the carpaccio and rib eye then the cheesecake. There is a sommelier on site to assist with your pairing or questions 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Went on Sep/2025. Heard from Azafrán by the Michelin website. Food, service and atmosphere on point. Great wine pairing and storytelling, had an amazing time with my friends.

I brought my partner here last night for his birthday and we enjoyed our 3 hour dining experience. The staff were attentive and spoke very good English.

Overall, we enjoyed our experience, so I've given a 5-star rating. For the same level back home, we would be paying significantly more. Thanks, Azafran, for the mini chocolate tart and bubbles at the end - was a lovely touch for the birthday boy!

Both food and service are outstanding! I would say the price (180$ for the set menus and 15$ per wine glass) is not justified at all though! I have been to multiple 1 & 2 star restaurants in European and central/ South America. countries that offered service and culinary experience more elevated for lower prices ….. So for South America and what is being offered , I would say the price makes no sense to me

Fantastic fine dinning experience in Mendoza. The food was refined and flavoursome, maybe not the most innovative but very enjoyable. The paring was outstanding, as expected in this part of the world. The place itself is good looking. Service was wonderful! Recommended

Wonderful lunch and wine pairing at Bodega Lagarde. We truly enjoyed the meal and each wine that accompanied each course. I loved the tomato salad so much the chef packed up an extra one for me! Excellent customer service. After dessert we took our wine outside and strolled the vineyard, tasting the grapes. Phenomenal dining experience!

Amazing place. We scheduled a visit and it was possible to see how careful they are with their production, there is no doubt regarding the quality of their wines. We also did an experience trying some wines and they were excellent. Nice place to visit and learn about Argentina’s wine culture.

Good tour and overall experience! The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was lovely to see so many organic vibes in the vineyard! The wines were good, not all of them were great. The restaurant is amazing! Highly recommended. The food was delicious, they offer gluten free bread as well 👌 and the service is great!

If u don’t do anything else in Mendoza do This!!!! Incredible experience and has become one of our memorable moments here. Our server Laura was amazing and we loved every moment of our experience

Absolutely one of the best experiences! Our waiter, Jorge, and sommelier, Paula, provided outstanding service! We had the 7 course pre fixe dinner! The food was spectacular in taste and presentation and we each did a different wine pairing so we were able to taste their fabulous wines! I highly recommend Fogón at Bodega Lagarde! It is a wonderful experience!

Fantastic! Could not ask for a better setting and a more luxurious afternoon. The 7 course lunch was outstanding with great flavours and perfect pairings. The service was impeccable and they were very kind to indulge my preference to speak in not so great Spanish [that's is how you get better]. Wine pours were very generous. My partner had a few top ups as well [alas, I was the driver]. My all means, treat yourself to this amazing experience while in Mendoza.

Had lunch booked here, the 4 course meal with a pairing of 3 wines costs about 25,000 pesos (maybe 80 USD depending what rate you get). Food was very high quality, service from both the sommelier and the dining staff was excellent, giving us a detailed background on the dishes/drinks. Steak was great, as were all the other dishes. Highly recommend as a lunch place in the area.

A stunning Argentine meat and wine pairing that we’ll never forget. The team was fantastic, friendly and informative about the food and wines. The pairings were exceptional. The atmosphere was lovely. This is a must do if you’re in Mendoza.

The BEST steak restaurant in Argetina. We had the spicy tomahawk, the carpaccio and the empanadas which where all mouthwatering and excellent quality. Above all Augusto made that experience even more beautiful. He carried us through the night and gave us an introduction to everything we had. We absolutely recommend this restaurant. Today was our 2nd time here and this time Steven was our waiter and again it was an amazing experience. The meat was excellent and the trout was the best I had till now. Highly recommend this place!!!!!!!

We had an excellent dinner at Restaurant Absrosado, made better by the professional and friendly service from Rodrigo. The setting was lovely, too. Dark and atmospheric with just the right lighting for dining. The wine pairing was spot on, and the empanadas were a great start. The steak was cooked to perfection, easily the best we’ve had in Argentina. A fresh salad and crispy chips rounded out the main course nicely! Dessert was delicious, and the tea, coffee, and chocolates at the end were a thoughtful touch. Overall, this was the top meal of our trip. Great value for the quality, and we’d happily return.

As many others have written, this really is a must-visit if you’re in Mendoza. The grounds are beautiful and the experience is truly special from start to finish. We were served excellently by Augustin, who guided us through the menu and shared many laughs with us, making our experience all the more enjoyable. The bartender also created some aperitif cocktails based on a few prompts we gave, and these were seriously delicious. It was hard not to order everything off the menu, and our highlights were the empanadas, skirt steak and the olive ice cream. But to be clear, every dish was exceptional!

This place offers a unique modern atmosphere in Mendoza that we really enjoyed with some delicious food! The beef carpaccio was one the best things I have ever tried in my life!

Lovely food & fantastic service. Jesus our servers & Mariel our sommelier were our servers and were both very knowledgable on all the different food & wine we ordered. Incredibly well priced for the quality & flavours of the dishes. Would definitely recommend.

We had the 100 anniversary set pairing menu and we were blown away by the experience. The service, ambience and quality of the food and wine was exceptional. Thank you to Matius and colleagues for a wonderful experience. A must do in Mendoza.

Mixed Experience at Françoise Malman & 1884 Our experience at this restaurant was a bit unusual from the very start. When making the reservation, we were required to pay a significant amount upfront, and when we couldn’t attend due to health reasons, they outright refused to refund us. I generally dislike paying for reservations in advance, and in this case, it was a particularly high charge. Their approach was rigid, insisting that the amount would be forfeited, so we had no choice but to go. The setting of the restaurant is undeniably beautiful, creating a perfect ambiance. However, when it comes to the food, there are plenty of restaurants in the area that serve meals of a similar quality and taste for half the price. I honestly don’t think we received a dining experience worth $200 per person (excluding wine). On a positive note, their wine selection is excellent, and the atmosphere is truly top-notch. However, given the poor price-to-value ratio, I don’t see myself returning.

My recent dining experience at 1884, Francis Mallmann's restaurant, was unfortunately a disappointment, especially considering its reputation and price point. I chose 1884 over Mr. Mallmann's 7 Fuegos restaurant due to recent negative reviews of the latter. However, the 8-course tasting menu with wine pairing fell far short of expectations. Ironically, the highlights of the meal were the warm bread selection, the cheese plate, and the dessert assortment – not exactly what one expects from a high-end restaurant. The humita was surprisingly bland and simple, tasting like something easily replicated at home of ingredients from a convenience store. The octopus, a prime opportunity to showcase the chef's expertise with open-fire cooking and achieve a delightful char, was disappointingly uniform in texture and lacked any of the desired smoky and charred bits and notes. The accompanying potato was equally uninspiring and remained largely untouched. The slow-cooked lamb, which should have been the star of the evening, was a good illustration of how a meat can simultaneously achieve a tender *and* dry texture. It was served with a rather ordinary potato purée. This pairing seemed like non-sense; why serve a tender meat dish with an equally soft purée? A contrasting element, such as some charred and crunchy vegetables, would have better complemented the lamb's tenderness and elevated the dish. From the wine paring, only the Jerez deserves a mention. While I understand the urge of dining at a Francis Mallmann restaurant when visiting Mendoza, as I myself felt, I recommend to skip it. Mendoza has numerous excellent alternatives offering comparable or superior cuisine at a fraction of the cost. I would encourage fellow travelers to explore these other options before committing to 1884.

Francis Mallmann is one of my favorite chefs, and to have the experience to visit one of his restaurants in Mendoza Argentina was a dream come true. You are greeted with elegance and sophistication, we professional staff, know how to host a guest. Now the environment is awesome, the fires, the smell of smoke, the decor, I mean you know your senses are being stimulated. Then the food, be careful, it's a gastrointestinal explosion of taste and incredible flavors, and the wine pairing, the sommelier she knew her wines, I can't say I ever had a better time, an A class experience. Oh take a cab, this is a journey

Located in a quite neighborhood, 1884 is the perfect place for a dinner date. We were under the impression that we could order a la carte but after asking we were not able to so we had to do the tasting menu, we were not that hungry but oh well. The restaurant has sitting inside and outside, and even an outdoor open kitchen concept, which I always enjoy. This night the weather was bad so they closed the outdoor kitchen. There is a terrace area where you can sit and have drinks. The waitresses were attentive and friendly. Most spoke both English and Spanish. 1884 has an extensive wine menu but their sommelier is very willing to help. I found it interesting that our wine was not kept near the table. Dinner took three hours for all eight courses. My favorite courses, were the flank steak, fish, and the desert. I did find that the courses did have more food than I imagined, so I just took bites of everything to taste it. Overall, I think this is a good place to have dinner as long as you are hungry.

Excellent restaurant, a must visit if in the city although expensive. Nearly 70 pages of wines, and delicious foods as well as a full bar. I would highly recommend a reservation as we could not get to the restaurant entrance without speaking with a security guard. They do have a parking lot. We saw a traditional asado for grilling meat!

The braised lamb was amazing and the steak was also delicious. The dining area is outside in the courtyard of a winery. It's a beautiful setting. The service was very good. The candle on the table kept blowing out and staff had to come around and relight it. It wasn't a problem but was a little distracting. Overall an excellent dining experience and quintessentially Argentinian.

The Restaurant and grounds were beautiful and exclusive; the Food and Wine… EXCELLENT! But the highlight… was the team, Facundo and Constance were absolutely wonderful, attentive, proactive to our every need and requests. Every question was met with professional decor and nurtured with pride in their craft… for that THANK YOU.

Spectacular steaks in a really beautiful setting! The outside seating area was quite beautiful and relaxing on a nice March evening. Mrs. Tooch got the Anna Ribeye which was really fantastic, and I got the flank steak with blue cheese sauce (maybe a bit too much) which was also very good although I probably preferred the ribeye. The Mrs. also ordered the “sweetbread” appetizer which she quickly learned was not in fact bread, so I ended up eating it all and it was delicious. Nice wine list. Service was a bit slow, although we are starting to think this might be the norm here.

Wow. Que Rico. The abadejo fish was one of the most flavorful fish dishes I’ve ever had. Service was top notch, great ambiance lighting and music. All around 10/10

Our favourite place so far in Mendoza. Everything from the music (beautiful jazz), food and service was excellent. Also, the vibe is just really great, the walls' decoration and soft lights are just spot on and make it for a magical experience. Thanks Federica for being so friendly and polite.

We’d previously popped in for coffee and tea and loved the romantic evening vibe, so we decided to try breakfast — great value! The service and atmosphere were also on point.

Food is excellent, service was pleasant. Overall a really good spot

Located on a Main Street and beautiful decorated, this is a great place for lunch or dinner. I visited here for dinner on a weekday and it was not too packed. From I stepped in it felt right. I ordered my favorite bottle of wine and some appetizers right away. Our waitress was very helpful and attentive to our table. Both the fish ravioli and Anna rib eye entrees were delicious, and I would recommend. For dessert, I ordered the passion fruit cheesecake and I loved it.

We visited Monday for lunch and another for breakfast. On the lunch day , the food was good and the service was great. On the breakfast day, the server seemed to have a little bit of an attitude and got a few of our orders wrong. The place is beautiful and has a great atmosphere.

Our dinner was fine, my asado de tira was very good with grilled vegetables. The ensalada rusa was ok. Service was ok. He was trying to sell me the dishes more than serving. Wine was good. Good prices. The lactonesa was a good option with the bread.

No wait time to get seated, ordered parrillada for 2 , meat was great! Mojella and chinchulín were definitely not fresh as they were barely warm and very stiff and dry. At first I was told there was no mojito but then they were able to make it for me, and the issue arises when I was given the bill and I told them that the mojito was just bad, I was still charged for it. Then I asked for change but server took tip out of the money I gave him without my permission, (I did not like that). Not coming back and gave food to the homeless

Wonderful dining experience!!! The 4 of us enjoyed our meal so much and our server, Nahuel, was great!!!! He chose the wine for 3 of us, poured my beer for me, smiled the whole time and took our photo for us!! 10 out of 10, recommend!! Loved it! We made a reservation but not sure if you need to.

Big plates, big meat and big satisfaction. Bring a hearty appetite and devour the platter laid before you. 9/10 - Pork Sausage, oozing juice seeps from the flavoursome pork. They’re kept small and just packed with flavour! 7/10 - Goat Platter - a selection of cuts including some ribs, flank and leg. It’s perfectly fine but if they’re going to cook up goat then they’d need to choose better cuts. Although it was tasty enough, there wasn’t masses of meat on each cut.

Stopped in for dinner, the rib eye with peppercorn sauce was good, basically like a decent pub meal back home, the paella was a pleasant surprise, good quality and flavour. No complaints overall.

It’s a nice spot with great service but the food is disappointing

The options offered are very good, and the meats were great, in size and flavors. The waiters were helpful, even dealing with plenty of customers. The prices were in the average price in town

We had dinner at this location while visiting Mendoza. The service and atmosphere was excellent. And, the prices provided great value. While we enjoyed our asparagus appetizer, the lasagna main dish left us dissatisfied. It was rather bland and didn't have the flavor we expected from this establishment.

This restaurant is seriously great. We went AGAINST the recommendation of our hotel and came here. It’s obvious this restaurant just wasn’t tipping the local concierge, because this food is seriously great. The best steak we had in our week in Argentina. Who would’ve thought that would be at an Italian restaurant. The carbonara pasta was amazing also. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality. Good wine selection at good prices too. You should absolutely consider this restaurant for dinner if you are visiting Mendoza.

Great Italian food in Mendoza, even though I didn't have anything but salad and panacotta, the smell and the look of the dishes talked for themselves. After a couple of days in Mendoza, my stomach couldn't afford anything else.. Next time, for sure, I will try the most representative Italian dishes of La Marchigiana

Simple but elegant ambiance. Great tasting food and menu offering. Servers had ample knowledge about the plates and offered a professional and relatively quick service. Appetizer and main dish are the forte as dessert was ok, nothing special.

Beautiful Italian food with a home cooked feel. Wonderful wine list and great service . More on the expensive side but worth it. Wear your loose pants :) And apparently according to the photo i found , Gwyneth Paltro and Brad Pitt ate there too.

The restaurant had a great ambiance and great wine but the food lacked in flavor. Maybe it was over hyped by the amount of reviews. We had the octopus and caprese salad for a starter. The octopus was delicious the caprese was mediocre. The basil was small and withered and the tomatoes weren’t great. For dinner we had the house made pasta trio and a filet with peppercorn sauce. The pasta dish wasn’t good. The steak was good but not great. The service was very great. Really wanted to like it.

The best restaurant I've found in Mendoza. Place is fancy, and food is not only incredibly tasty, but also plates are big. And when I say big, I mean really big, like having a hard time finishing the plate. I ordered a pasta with a weird name filled with "Goat in Cabernet whine cooked for 16 hours at low temperatures"... 16 hours! I know it is probably a lie, but it was the best wine goat filling I ever ateon my life. Pastas are their specially, but you can order other stuff. Place is not expensive, only slightly higher than a McDonald's. Unless you drink some fancy whine that is... Dessert is awesome, I tried their tiramisu and it was great. Totally recommend this place. Be sure to either go early (12:00) or ask for a reservation. After 13-ish you'll have to wait for a table.

Mauricio’s suggestion and advice were outstanding. Chorizo steak cooked to perfection, Pumpkin soup superb and arugula with nuts and Parmesan salad, perfect. And above all, all extra delicious food is kindly shared to the less fortunate neighbors of Mendoza

This was the best restaurant in downtown Mendoza! The steaks were awesome. (The large sirloins are very large- big enough for about 3 people). The soup was outstanding and the roasted vegetables were delicious. You definitely need to go here if you are in the area. The waiters were excellent! The price and food were both I was standing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve visited this restaurant twice — first in January 2020 and again yesterday (October 2025) — and it’s just as amazing as I remembered! The menu, meat, and service were all excellent. Our server was very polite and spoke great English, which made everything even smoother. I had the T-bone steak, cooked exactly how I asked — perfectly done. We shared creamed spinach and mashed potatoes, both delicious. My girlfriend had the fish, which was also very good, though a little too salty for her taste — so it’s probably best to ask for no salt and season it yourself. For dessert, we had the flan and crème brûlée, both fantastic finishes to the meal. The decor inside and outside is beautiful — perfect for a date night or a nice catch-up with friends. Highly recommend!

We had such a lovely time at La Lucia. Food was top notch and so was the service. The sommelier also gave me the cork from one of our bottles that had crystalized sugar on it. Thought that was so pretty. I got the 5 course meal with wine parings and everything was paired so well. We for sure plan to return on our next trip!

La Lucia do terrific steak, chunky outside and soft inside. The lamb stew is excellent done. To a large extent it excels Don Julio in terms of steak grills. It is extremely good value for money. A must-go restaurant in Mendoza.

Excellent service and food. I had the best bife de chorizo! Grilled and seasoned to perfection. The duck was delicious and also cooked to perfection. Thank you for an amazing lunch.

Lovely ambience and good grill - for the quality of the food it’s overpriced. Grilled vegetables tasted like they were left on the grill for a few seconds after being boiled, some were cold. 1 Empanadas for 650 pesos was a bit dry. At least the chorizos were tasty and perfectly grilled... Most other restaurants charge half of the price. The waiters were friendly but they were giggling by the bar looking towards my table talking about my bill 👀 as a tourist I do not recommend but for the decent presentations, it probably works for a date night to impress someone...

This is not your average Argentine restaurant. The dishes might or not contain meat. Some are served family style. How about home made pasta with vegetables in cream. We loved it! They serve a wide variety of deserts as well. We sure didn't expect to see bread pudding on the menu. On the plus side all the service staff was female. The dinner was a good value as well for Argentina these days.

Cozy, comfortable dining spaces, especially the covered outdoor patio. The menu offers a good selection of starters and entrees. The papa tortilla Espanola was made fresh and cooked to perfection. Entrees are huge portions. Saw one family of four dine on a single order of Canelonni. Be prepared to share orders with two or more persons. Loved everything about F y F. ,ate there all three days of our stay in Mendoza.

Absolutely incredible Christmas Eve dinner here! We had an insane set menu that was so much food, we ended up taking a ton home! Would definitely come back here even for their regular menu, everything was absolutely delicious! Service and ambiance were fantastic as well, thank you for a memorable holiday!!

We had a lovely meal yesterday. Make sure you are hungry because the portions are huge and comes with complementary dessert. Main course is always for two to share. The place is very atmospheric and the service was great. Even though we don’t speak any Spanish together we worked it out. Great place.

Great food and excellent atmosphere and staff. The idea that everything is to share is great. Everything we had was excellent!! And the staff was extremely kind. There are a lot of locals and everything you get seems to be homemade as they say. Highly recommended probably best food in town!

Heard about this place before visiting Mendoza and we weren’t disappointed. Food was amazing, portions were also huge, and great value. Servers were also really helpful in walking us through the menu.

This is a perfectly-sized airport for the region. And, since it is in Mendoza, of course, there are wonderful little restaurants that serve excellent Malbec. But the thing I really liked about this was how open and airy the common space was, with plenty of room for playing cards; it didn’t feel dim, as some airports do. Plus a really sweet bonus is that they had an area to refill/reheat the yerba mates! It’s not a five star review, because they really could use a couple of more really great restaurants, even if they’re small bistros, since this is Mendoza after all!

It looks like a modern and clean airport but there are some details that surely need to improve. On my arrival WiFi was not working so I remain incomunicated to call an uber or something. The toilets are clean but the door lock did not worked. There is no proper bus stop to go to San Juan, not possible to buy the ticket in the terminal, you have to go to main road (could be dangerous) and hope that the bus has some space and stop. Prices of bars are more expensive than London or New York (6 USD for an empanada 4 usd for a cortado). The parking App does not work properly. If you stay less than 15 minutes is supposed to be free but when you go to the barrier it does not opens and does not let you pay...you have to go inside and pay to the cashier even it it was supposed to be free. Hope things improve with time.

It's nice but, there are somethings I don't get. 1: it has the VIP only, I repeat ONLY, for the national flights. What!? Why? And 2: they won't let you in the gate area passed migrations before like 2 or 3 hours. It's very small. It needs to get a bit bigger.

Beautiful and new. With nice restaurants which I wish I had time to try

I have travelled widely and been in many small cities ( and big ones) airports and this airport is great. Good customer service, acceptable queuing, excellent free wifi and some few good shops for last shopping or snack. Parking is free for 15m if you are picking or dropping someone and Mendoza airport has nothing to envy any European, North American or East Asian airport.

Slow, disorganised and very very warm and uncomfortable. Lots of hanging around in queues with no detail on the delay. Not great.

Very small airport. From the passport/x-ray control to the gate we got within 5 minutes.
