The experience is super original and different, ideal for foreigners who want to learn about traditional Argentine dishes in a hands-on way. Throughout the activity, we had a host who guided us and explained each step.nThere were about 12 of us, and the experience was conducted in English because we shared a table with people from other countries. However, since we were the only Argentinians, the host also translated into Spanish for us throughout.nReservations and payment were made in advance, and the service was excellent. At first, we took a class to learn how to make drinks and empanadas (each of us then ate our own), and then we continued with a step-by-step menu of typical Argentinian dishes. I had previously informed them of some dietary restrictions, and they adapted the entire menu without any problem, so I was able to enjoy each step.nAt the end, each person had their own mate, and we made cornstarch alfajores—very fun. It's an experience that starts early and lasts about two and a half hours. Highly recommended and original.

To be clear: this is not a normal restaurant. You need to sign up well in advance (I think 2 hours- check their website) and it takes 2.5 hours to do as you are guided through a set menu.nnA good amount and variety of food. Very entertaining and a fun atmosphere.nnIf you treat it more like a show where you get fed you will have a great time.
