Manos Jujenas Comidas Regionales

Reviewed By jjsmooth11 - Lincoln, Nebraska

While the Locro was good (not great), the tamale was average at best and the Picante chicken was dry and bland. Lower end malbec wine selection was the worst bottle we tried in Argentina, sour and no depth. All in all, easily the most disappointing recommendation from our Lonely Planet travel guide.

El Nuevo Progreso 1917

Latin American, Vegetarian

Reviewed By Interestedingoodfood - West Sussex, United Kingdom

We three went for dinner last night. The restaurant is imaginative and brightly decorated with art work. we had lamb and a llama steak and both were delicious! We tried the Malbec rose: robust and great as well as Domingo Hermanos Malbec which was very smooth and full bodied. Highly recommended - well done team!

Khuska Resto Bar

Comidas Regionales y de las otras. Bebidas espirituosas. Un espacio dónde la música la hacemos todos, traé tu instrumento musical y sinó te prestamos.

Very cosy restaurant (different rooms with very nice interior). The food is excellent, for us it was among the best we had in Argentina. And the prices are unbeatable for what you get. Also the desert is fantastic. We can highly recommend this place.

I have eaten here on two different trips to Purmamarca (this year and last year), and both times the food was outstanding and creative. Add the pleasure of eating outside with the breeze moving across the remarkable landscape, and this is an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended

El Patio

Reviewed By Thelastdodo2 - London, United Kingdom

We came here on 2 nights out of 3, and wished we'd stuck with it on the third night too! The food was excellent, and the staff really friendly. I also loved that they had a good selection of wines, all available either by the bottle, 500 ml, or 250 ml. Usually it is just a house wine by the glass, and everything else only by the bottle. I had the locro on both visits (yum!) and my boyfriend had the lentil stew and the llama in orange sauce, both of which were delicious. Prices were reasonable, and you could pay on card. Normally we'd not mind paying in cash, but in Argentina everywhere charges you a fortune whenever you withdraw cash... so we try and pay on card wherever possible! Would highly recommend El Patio.

We had llama meat, fish,salad and wine. Nothing fancy but solidly prepared. Bread was a little cold. Wish our wait staff would smile more. Restaurant closes on Mondays. Opens in the evening at 8pm.

This is a nice restaurant just across from the main plaza. Usually open for lunch and dinner. The staff is very helpful and the place is very typical from this part of the country. Our food was good, our beers were called, and we really enjoy our visit here.

Arumi

Reviewed By dkbe - Walldorf, Germany

Tried 2 empanadas and a tamal as starters, liked especially the empanadas.
Then we had the cazuela de llama and the locro, the ideal meals for a cold and windy day! Service and atmosphere were nice, too.
Went a second time and tried a pizza, which was OK but very cheesey. I recommend to stick to the local dishes.
