First off the service in Argentina restaurants are second to none. NEVER before have i had such a experience at a restaurant, these people SET the bar for waiters around the world, and I have never seen anything so close. WE have been several places and only once was their service "standard" like an American restaurant. everything else, including small dinners have AWESOME service.
So back to La Cabrera, we arrive and they have seating on the sidewalk in as well as inside, the Hostess says there is a 45 minute wait, we arrived at 10:30 at night. So we get on the list, ans she uncovers a champagne bucket and pours us both a glass of champagne while standing on the sidewalk outside the restaurant!! Couple glasses later, we get seated inside.
We are brought a bread basket with 5 different types of bread, and a a whole roasted head of garlic, and ricotta red bell pepper spread.
We ask what the best bottle bottle of wine the waiter recommends, and he says the cheapest is the best at 40 pesos, we say ok, then ask for a recommendation on the steak, and makes a recommendation, we say ok, and then I ask if I should order a side and he said, no it come with accompaniments. So he says the steak is big enough for 2.
WELL, we get this HUGE steak with 13 ramekins filled with hot and cold accompaniments, apple sauce, pickled garlic, green beans, some bean salad, heart of palm, and other yummy stuff, and splits this steak in half, each half fills the plate.
AMAZING STEAK.
Then we order the lava chocolate cake, come with 2 scoops of ice cream and the delicious berry jam stuff ever.
This entire meal costs like 200 pesos, this is the equivalent of 65 American dollars. 5 star dining.
I have a steak hangover this morning.
here is a picture of the setting
We are flying out soon.
