El Diego

Reviewed By Silvano G

Giovedì 8 marzo - Siamo partiti in auto dalla città di La Rioja per raggiungere la città di Villa Union ed a circa 250 Km. di distanza ed a 20 Km. dal Parco Talampaya, usciamo dalla strada 76 per percorrere una strada sterrata che ci condurrà a questo ristorante in aperta campagna nei pressi del paese di Pagancillo, Ambiente molto rustico ed una accoglienza festosa. Ordiniamo "humita en chala", piatto tradizionale della zona andina che consiste in chicchi di una pannocchia di granturco fresco pestati e cotti nel grasso con cipolla, pepe e formaggio. Questo impasto viene successivamente bollito, avvolto e legato nelle sue stesse foglie. Un piatto completo, veramente buono ed esteticamente soddisfacente. Alla fine del pasto ci viene offerto dal proprietario un piatto di uva nera appena colta e veramente squisita. Consigliato.

Resto- Bar Las Pircas

Reviewed By Silvano G

Lunedì 5 Marzo - Ritorniamo all'hotel dopo una lunga visita a piedi del centro della città. Siamo stanchi e decidiamo di andare a cena nel bar dell'albergo. Ambiente semplice e decoroso, bar ben fornito di liquori. Ordiniamo un'insalata con pomodori e tonno, una fetta di torta al limone, acqua frizzante e caffè. Cibo buono e fresco. Consigliato.

Torrontes

Reviewed By Silvano G

Lunedì 5 Marzo - Siamo arrivati da poco tempo in hotel e dopo aver preso possesso della camera, vista l'ora tarda, scendiamo nella hall per recarci a pranzo nel ristorante dell'albergo. Tavoli ben tovagliati, personale affabile, ambiente elegante. Ordiniamo il menù del giorno (zuppa di mais, risotto con funghi e vegetali) ed un ottimo vino bianco Torrontes. Porzioni molto abbondanti tanto da doverne avanzare. Eccellente la zuppa di mais e molto buono il risotto con funghi. Rinunciamo al dessert in cambio del caffè. Consigliato.

I went there one time and the pizza was excellent. They also do shows at night which is very nice. I recommend it if you want to have a good time in summer!

Restaurant La Cuchilla

Reviewed By Cordobaar

In the middle of nowhere! On the way to Talampaya National Park. What a treat, we were a party of 11, everyone had a different dish, and everyone was absolutely fantastic. The chef/owner was super nice and just a great person. The wines were good and plenty of local wines. If you get the chance make it a must see

Warm and peaceful place high on the Special Capital city for tourists.

As mentioned in other posts La Rioja not really geared up for tourism.Went for dinner on Wednesday evening around 9pm. Only ones there. Seemed like the best option available from looking on TA and wandering around. Quite close to libertador hotel (again probably best of limited selection). Had stuffed chicken breast and sautéed potatoes which was fine. No ambiance, played horrific covers of the Beatles on repeat!!

After a late flight from BA went here for dinner. Portions are massive and cater for 2-3 pax. Ordered bbq kidneys which were excellent. Local Malbec was good and service friendly and acommodating given the late hour.

My friends and I were in La Rioca for boxing and were invited to eat at the restaurant.We were made very welcome (as we have been ever since we arrived in Argentina) and the service that we received was first class. We sat outside in the beautiful terrace and were served the most lovely food.I recommend this restaurant very highly to anyone that visits La Rioca!

La Stanza

Reviewed By VinB87

Let's not beat about the bush: La Rioja is not a tourist wonderland. People here eat very late (after 10 pm), which can be a bit of a pain when, like us, you've got a night bus to catch. At 9.30 pm, we were the first people here, but we were very warmly welcomed by the owner, who even gave us some tips on where to go next on our trip.The food was a welcome change from Argentina's endless meat-heavy parilladas. We had the mushroom and chicken risotto and the chicken with spinach and lemon. Both were lovely. A deliciously lukewarm slice of apple cake a la mode to finish up, and we were all set for our night bus.
