Astrid y Gaston Review
You can't help but watch the kitchen door—each dish the waiters carry out is a work of art. Take the pato asado con mil especies (roast duck with 1,000 spices): the honey-brown breast is accompanied by a steamed pear and a pepper bubbling over with basil risotto. Other dishes, like the pasta with squid and artichokes, are just as astonishing. Take advantage of the wine list—it's one of the best in town. In a colonial-style building on a quiet street, the restaurant is lovely, with pumpkin-color walls and original artwork.
