 meat and sausage peacefully
being grilled :-) by Trekki, 4 more photos
Claudia and Daniel (the owners) usually prepare a big asado for the guests once in a week, mostly friday, saturday or sunday - but also during the week.
Just ask.
You'll also experience argentine asado from the very personal or philosophic point of view, as it is not only some meat to eat, but the whole preparation process counts :-)
First, they get all the goodies, of course, the meat.
Then the preparations of salads, sauces, side dishes start. Usually, the kitchen is crammed with people, each giving a helping hand (see pic).
Daniel will start the fire in the patio, the meat is salted and taken outside (see pic), the smell of grilled meat is filling the air (oh well, why don't we have scented www ??), and just in time, the big pieces of meat are cut and served.
Nothing is left usually, and each and everyone's stomachs are happy filled with the most wonderful asado possible :-)
The best meat on the planet :-)
Salad, don't miss Claudia's ground carrot salad !
And wine, of course - wine.....
It all ends way late in the night, as usually all are sitting together, having fun, talking or playing guitar.
Don't miss it, you'll never regret it !

 We Enjoyed This Spot! by Bwana_Brown
We returned here for lunch the next day and even for a relaxing sit-down to simply enjoy some drinks on our final day in Mendoza. It is not fancy, but it serves good food and is very popular with the locals. They have a young man and a lady who hustle around very quickly seeing to all the customers with no fuss!
For our lunch here we ordered two nice sandwichs consisting of slices of meat, tomatos, lettuce and condiments. This was washed down by a 1-litre bottle of Andes beer and 2-glasses of white wine, all for the price of A$20 (US$7)! This was the only restaurant in Mendoza where we had young children come up to our table begging for food on one occassion. We rebuffed them twice during our meal but, in the end, did not quite finish one of our sandwiches before they returned once more. Gesturing for them to take it away, the two street children quickly grabbed it and headed off a short way down the sidewalk. However, almost immediately an older teenager emerged to take it off them - looked like he was the boss of that lot. We later asked our tour guide Andrea what was the appropriate thing to do under these circumstances and she said that it was considered OK to do what we did.
Being a 'parrillada' restaurant, they had a big BBQ fire pit inside their front window, so if you want some meat cooked up on the spot, they know how to do that too!

 Enjoying our Outside Evening
Meal by Bwana_Brown
We liked the looks of the sidewalk seating at the Facundo, and one of their outside waiters was very helpful, showing us their English menu and gesturing for us to take a seat.
We started off with their excellent salad bar (A$5 or US$1.70 each) which had a whole slew of great veggies such as tomatoes, cukes, carrots, potato salad, eggplant, olives, etc. For a main course, Sue had their '1/4 lemon chicken breast' which turned out to be simply a breast with a wedge of lemon. I figured it was time to try some beef, so I ordered the Mixed Beef/Chicken Brouchette with a side dish of Garlic-Fried Potatoes. It also came with a wedge of lemon but the chunks of meat were huge with nicely BBQed portions of onions, tomatoes, red and greeen peppers between them. I had a regular bottle of local Quilmes beer to start off the meal and then switched to the local 'Malbec' red wine later on to match Sue and her white wine. We both thoroughly enjoyed the meal and, by the time we finished, the place was full. It was very enjoyable taking our time over the meal in the warm evening breezes.
The total cost of the meal came to A$56 (US$19) and I left a good tip too for the great service. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 641 Sarmiento Av., MendozaDirections: Prime downtown area, mid-way between Plaza Chile and Plaza Italia.

 My Salmon Dish by Bwana_Brown
Sue wanted something light and found an Intermediate dish between the Starter and Main courses. It turned out to be a delicious Patagonian Trout with potatoe saffron pie (A12), accompanied by a glass of Dona Paula Sauvignon Blanc. As for me, I went with fish as well, ordering Grilled Salmon with Green Pea puree and Tomato Tartare (A19). With a starter bottle of Stella Artois beer and a glass of La Celio Malbec 2002 wine with my meal, the total cost of our meal came to A54 (US$20). It was another great dining experience in Argentina!

 Part of Sue's Salad & Her
Ice-Cube Wine! by Bwana_Brown
The first order of business was some cold drinks. I ordered the first of my two local beers while Sue decided on Chablis, which only came by the half-bottle. An interesting thing was that they did not bother to chill the white wine, instead simply supplying a steel ice-bucket with large ice cubes to be used in the wine-glass - it actually worked quite well. While we were deciphering the menu, we ordered some 'picante' empanada snacks to tide us over (see Local Tips). We had a bit of trouble with the menu, with Sue ordering what she thought was a tomatoe, lettuce and cucumber salad. It turned out to be shredded carrots instead of cukes, but it was still delicious. I tried a Spanish Omelette which turned out to have potatoes (surpise) in it, along with onions and slices of salami. In the end it was an interesting experience, at a total cost of A36 (US$13)! Afterward we headed back to our room for a little siesta - maybe the locals are onto something here in the afternoon heat!

 Breakfast Nook at Urbana
Suites by Bwana_Brown
Don't expect any toast, bacon and eggs! We found the breakfasts at the Urbana Suites to be the best we had on the trip, mainly because of their large fruit salad bowl. This consisted of a mixture of fresh strawberries, grapes, bananas and apples in juice. You had a choice of yoghurts, various pastries and the usual fresh Orange Juice or the strong local coffee. It was a good way to get our days started! Leave a Comment Theme: LocalDirections: At our hotel on 25 de Mayo Avenue.

Great restaurant experiences don't necessarily mean grand dining rooms or exquisite food. Despite the brilliantly clear skies and sunshine, it was freezing up at Puente del Inca and the promise of hot food and coffee was all we needed to turn our back on the view and scurry past the tables set outside into the shelter of the rather rickety Snack Bar Arconcagua. Makeshift on the outside and cluttered on the inside it might have been but a bowl of steaming meaty bean soup and fresh cooked empanadas were just the thing to warm us up, and the servings were generous enough to share with the gorgeous St Bernard dog who obviously was well used to those big brown eyes wooing the tourists into feeding him titbits.

The restaurant has two dining rooms, both in the oldest part of the original house. Downstairs - with warm burgundy walls and dark wood - is an elegant and sophisticated space. Upstairs has a rustic feel, views over the vineyards and soft green painted wood-panelled walls. Both areas serve the same menu.
Booking is advisable- even for house guests. People drive out here from all around Mendoza and the restaurant is constantly mentioned in guides and travel articles.
To be perfectly honest, apart from a delicious dish of stuffed and roasted baby goat, a fabulous rack of baby Patagonian lamb, and some seriously good cheese, I can't give any more detail of what we ate. I can remember the appreciative silences as we all tucked in. The menu at Terruno is, as you would expect from a top-notch restaurant, full of seasonal and local specialities with touches of the best of European and Asian food styles all married together into a foodie's delight. Chef Max Casa is held to be one of Argentina's best and it shows. The wine list is extensive, the sommelier very knowledgeable and, if you're staying at the hotel, you can linger as long as you like over your meal knowing that all you have to do is walk a few yards to the lounge or back to your room at the end of a marvellous meal.
