Josefina Resto is upscale and trendy in a way that makes it feel as if it belong back in Seattle…read more As a final dinner in Mendoza, a friend and I popped in for a nice, last meal of our vacation. The neighborhood of Josefina is trendy and scattered with bars and pubs that make for an easy way home via bar-hopping, so that's a plus. It was walkable from our Air B&B, which was at the heart of central Mendoza. We had 8:00pm reservations, but being in a strange-time zone and early-eaters by nature, we decided to pop in early to see if they would accomodate us. Much to our pleasure, Josefina was open by 7:30pm (which is quite early for Mendoza!) and happy to accomodate us early. The interior is modern and cool in the way that you are captivated by the interior before you can even study the menu. Interesting lighting fixtures punctuate the ceiling and wallpaper of various food and culture themes tastefully adorn the walls. Our server was polite, professional and prompt. I began with a glass of sparkling rose and B enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc while we decided on entrees. The menu has descriptions in Spanish, English and Portuguese, which is always nice. I chose the mixed green salads with pomegranate, toasted almonds, tomato and asparagus dressed in a simple oil and vinegar. B chose the gnocchi with a mushroom cream sauce. They brough us out a variety of complimentary warm breads that far surpassed any offering of the sort we'd had before. There were several slices of each a whole wheat artisan bread, a focaccia with rosemary and tomatoes, quality dinner rolls and simple, fresh white bread. Our entrees followed immediately after (and quite quickly overall!). My salad was a generous portion and both dishes were visually pleasing. I devoured the fresh, crips salad and it was wonderfully light compared to the portions I had became accustomed to the prior week! The ripe pomegranate was a great contrast to the savory vegetables and the amount of dressing was just right. To say I was satisfied is an understatement. A note for veg-heads: The menu was limited for non-meat eaters, but there are a few dishes available and I am confident they would all be great! I would recommend this place to locals and visitors alike.

The menu has salads with warm shrimp or chicken, a dig a station of grilled provolone cheese, your usual meets with slight twists like a eggplant dip on top of your roasted potatoes with your steak. They bring a bread basket with two slices of tomato focaccia, two slices of a cherry wheat bread, one dense white roll and a slice if a soft white bread. It was served with a pickle aioli topped with shredded marinated carrots. Very light and fresh. We tried the empanadas (3 for $155) and they were made with chopped beef and lots of smoky paprika. It was almost too flavorful and great with the pickle aioli. The warm langoustine salad had only five langoustines (which were nicely seasoned and perfectly tender) but lots of arugula and frisée. The arugula was a bit overpowering versus the langoustines. It had 3 thin slices of grilled peach and 3 thin slices of avocado. It also had about 10 cherry tomatoes and two long homemade breadsticks. The salad was lightly dressed in a lemon vinaigrette. Very fresh, light salad. We also had the small ribeye with roasted potatoes topped with an eggplant spread and a small salad. All great flavors. We had asked for the ribeye to come without the cheese but they forgot. We took it off and ate it separately. Service was friendly and efficient. Certainly a modern version if an Argentinean steakhouse.

We stayed in central Mendoza and it was only a six minute walk from our hotel. The inside has a gorgeous ambiance with several tables for two or four. It's very nicely decorated! We chose to go with the four course meal when making our reservation and it's a good thing we did because it was SO much food!! The food itself was excellent and the rib eye might be the best I've ever had. Each course was lovely and they did a great job of explaining the ingredients to us. We also got the wine pairing with each course. We ended the night with coffee and petit fours. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone going to Mendoza! It's delicious and reasonably priced for the quality and experience!

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary last night at Azafrán…read more The space is beautiful, the staff -- reservations, host, sommelier and waiter Valentina -- was super helpful. We opted for the four-course tasting menu. (The seven course option is just too much for me.) My wife had the wine pairings; I had a glass of fabulous local Cabernet Sauvignon with the main course. I assume the menu changes with seasons so I won't bore you with descriptions except to say that each was lovely. There was an emphasis on local dishes deconstructed and put back together by a Michelin one-star chef. All in all, it was a lovely meal, in beautiful ambience, with amazing service. And a very happy anniversary. One tip: the restaurant's website indicated they were fully booked. I sent a WhatsApp message and it turned out they indeed had a table available.

We came here based on the recommendation from our hotel and some locals on a Sunday night, we loved it so much that we came back again on the following Thursday night. We had most wonderful dinning experience on both nights. The restaurant is located in a beautiful establishment where you enter through a lovely garden. It's very spacious but yet very intimate. The entire restaurant is beautiful and well decorated. They only serve a 6 course menu, but if you have special diet requirement like myself, they will be able to accommodate it for you. You just need to tell them in advance when you make reservation. The restaurant is owned by a winery and it is absolutely worthwhile to add wine pairing for the 6 course menu. They change the menu once a week and for the main course you have 3 options. Everything from the appetizers to desert were exquisite. Every single plate was beautifully presented and every dish was delicious. For both nights, my hubby chose the Rib Eye Steak, he loves his steaks cooked in pittsburgh style and they were cooked the way it should be. I am pescetarian, unfortunately they don't cook seafood, thus they prepare vegetarian plates for me and I was very happy with each dish I had. The service was also impeccable, the waitresses knew the dish very well, they were friendly, attentive and were able to recommend good wine. There was no price listed on the menu, we were a bit worried that it might be really expensive. But when the bill came, it was between 1000 - 1200 pesos for both of us, which is pretty much the same or just slightly more than other restaurants we have been in Mendoza. At the end of the meals, the chef Nadia herself even came out to say hi to us. She was lovely and very passionate about fine dining. I am very surprised that NADIA O.F. isn't already listed in Yelp and highly recommend it.
