  • 1. Brindillas

    $$$

    Partners in life and in the kitchen, Mariano and Florencia traveled the world working in restaurants; they’ve brought that experience to their own intimate eatery, which offers a sophisticated tasting menu. The space may be small (it sits only 18 people), but you can expect delightful culinary creations with consistently appealing flavors and presentation. Staff can recommend wines by the glass or bottle to match the seasonally changing five- or seven-course menus.

    $$$$

    Nestled between a golf green and tennis courts, Chez Gastón serves up unpretentious and fresh local cuisine in the smart Algodón Wine Resort.

Many of the products used, such as the olives, fruits, and walnuts, are harvested right on the property, and bread is baked daily in a clay oven. Ask about the Smoky tasting menu.

  • 3. L'Obrador

    $$

    Daniel Ancina, his wife Graciela, and a team of cooks will greet you at this typical ranch house, about 20 minutes from town; then they'll fill your wine glass, introduce you to the other guests, and seat you family-style at a long table. Regional cuisine rules; little pots of sauces for spreading on pan casero (homemade bread) line the center of the table and out of the mud-brick oven comes a platter of crisp baked empanadas followed by a protein—goat, lamb, beef, chicken, or chorizo.

    They've been serving homemade pasta at La Marchigiana since 1950, and many of the recipes were passed down from founder Nonna Fernanda; today her descendants carry on the tradition in the kitchen. The original premises burned down in 2006, but a modern version with underground parking is just as popular with Mendocinos looking for a reasonably priced meal (and a great lasagna). There's a second restaurant at Ruta Panamericana 3200 in Godoy Cruz.
