SAMPLE MENU

GRILLED PROVOLETA – dry-aged Provolone cheese with tomatoes , prosciutto , oregano and olive oil $ 14

ARGENTINEAN MIXED GRILL MEAT PLATTER – Parrillada mixta Argentina : grilled combination of entrada , short ribs , chorizos , morcillas , salchicha parrillera , molleja and chicken $ 69
ARGENTINEAN PANQUEQUES – crepe with dulce de leche $ 8 region , served in a creamy creation of Roquefort cheese , mushroom and white wine sauce combination , you ’ ll know why they serve more trout than anyone in this part of the world . Magnificent .
Then there is the Argentinean Mixed Grill ( Parrillada ). Patagonia has several of these grill platters , some which can feed up to 6 or 8 people . You may want to fast for a day or two beforehand . And bring friends . Beef , sausages , short ribs and more , all spicy and grilled to perfection . Argentina at its finest .
I think it ’ s important when you tackle something as robust as one of the Parrilladas , that you have an appropriate libation to help you . In this case , Sebastian recommended a lovely Malbec , one of a great many boutique wines in his cellar , most of which you won ’ t find at the corner grocery .
For dessert I champion the Argentinean Panqueques , a crepe with dulce de leche that is otherworldly .
It is fantastic . If you haven ’ t heard already , you will . Pretty much all of Patagonia ’ s business has come via word of mouth .
This one is satisfied , to say the least .
