Patagonia Sur.

Tucked away in the colorful, historic neighborhood of La Boca, Patagonia Sur is legendary chef Francis Mallmann’s love letter to Argentine fire cooking. Operating as a *puerta cerrada* (closed-door) venue with a single nightly seating, dinner here feels less like a standard restaurant outing and more like an exclusive, theatrical performance. The fixed menu eschews complex sauces in favor of embers, charcoal, and smoke, showcasing Patagonian ingredients through Mallmann’s signature open-flame techniques. Expect masterfully executed classics like seven-and-a-half-hour slow-cooked lamb, charred ribeye with chimichurri, and wood-fired sea bream. It is an intimate, sensory-rich dining experience that requires planning well in advance, offering a deep dive into the rugged flavors of Argentina's south.
