Came for lunch and sat outside. Nobody helped us with the umbrellas that were blowing around. Meat we ordered was not "a la parilla" but pan fried - just in case you prefer it one way or another. Salad was white lettuce. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't rush back.

My husband and I went on the 3 hour horse back trail with a guided tour and it was an absolutely incredible experience. We had never ridden horses before but the horses were so kind a gentle, mine even stopped to eat some bushes on the way! The scenery is just beautiful and seriously a once in a lifetime experience. After the ride we ordered a very tasty lunch and relaxed sipping on some beer and wine looking at the animals (wich are all very well looked after). Come for the experience, stay for the food.

La Casa de las Empanadas was exactly what we were looking for in Cafayate: a go-to place for locals, less transited by tourists, not posh at all, but serving really great authentic food. The range of empanadas they serve caters to every taste and dietary restriction (with plenty of choice for vegetarians). We sat down in the patio and listened to lovely live peña music while waiting for our empanadas and tamales, but I gather they often do takeaways as well. If you, like us, find the original La Casa... closed, just ask a local and they will point you to their second location, 400m or so away.

A cozy wine bar with a nice patio out front. Chato Cruz is very friendly, speaks good English and is knowledgeable about the local and regional wines. Ask him about his own wine available in limited quantities. The food is primarily platters of meats, cheeses, olives and the like - very good and reasonably priced.To find Chato's wine bar, face the church on the Plaza and go up the street to your right (San Martin) about 2 to 3 blocks and it is on the right side of the street. Find a favorite wine and buy a bottle or two to take home with you!

Reviewed By kuechenbalance
We visited the place twice, because we really liked it. Itâs kind of a tapas concept where you can share different plates if you want. The menu offers different food options than in other places, but still traditional, which is a good change. Service is very friendly. If you have the chance to visit in summer, you will enjoy a beautiful backyard area. We would definitely come back!

We have been to so many wine tastings in Mendoza and Italy and appreciate learning about the individual wines. The three of us had a tasting reservation with 5 different wines. The gentleman who presented the wines was very hurried and basically told us this wine was from their winery in Mendoza and this one was from Cayafate. Yes, we could taste the difference but it seemed to be a competition for Cayafate to be the winner. We were not told about the distinct qualities of each wine. We were done in a very short time in this whirlwind tasting. There were no others in the wine tasting room and we did have a reservation but it seemed like he truly didn't care.We learned that the owners, Jon and Arlene Malinski, are from Minnesota where we live. They bought the winery several years ago when it was in disrepair and built this very modern and beautiful winery. We were told that they are thinking/planning to build a hotel on property.We did buy a bottle of their Malbec. The region has the hot sun and the cold nights in one of the highest altitudes for wine making.

The pastas - home-made by the owner Luis - are great. In addition, the portions are large and the price reasonable. I saw him making the Tiramisu this afternoon. I came back in the evening for this dessert. Heavenly and again a generous portion! The restaurant opens for dinner at 8:30 pm.

We dined twice at the hotelâs outdoor restaurant overlooking the garden, pool and mountains whilst staying at the hotel. On both occasions our dinners were very good. A surprisingly good appetizer was the Mollejas Crocantes, crispy sweetbreads served over fresh greens. Had it two days in a row. Where in the world did the name sweetbreads come from?! On the first night I ordered the Langostinos appetizer as my main course which was served over a salad of mixed greens. It was great. My boyfriend had the fish of the day. I think it was Pacú which was also very good. For dessert we had the wine poached pear with ice cream and the Chocolate Lava cake. We had glasses of the house white and red with our dinners. On the second night we had the Ojo de Bife (rib-eye) that was grilled perfectly and the Fettuccine Caseros, homemade pasta with a few vegetables and goat cheese sauce. They were both pretty good. Had the house wines again. The red was much better the second night. Service on both evenings was very good.Dear Deborah, Thank you very much for your detailed comments!We are pleased to know you enjoy with us!Regards, La Rosa en Patios de Cafayate Wine Hotel
