This excellent winery restaurant at Club Tapiz in Maipú uses seasonal produce and has a decor evoking a Renaissance villa. All of the olive oil, vegetables, eggs, and dried fruit come from the restaurant’s own production, making the food as fresh as can be.

2. Siete Fuegos Asado

Resort, Spa Hotel, Hotel

Celebrity chef Francis Mallmann’s Valle de Uco restaurant at The Vines Resort and Spa takes asado to new heights, grilling meat, fruit and vegetables, and fish seven ways. The fixed-price lunch menu is a one of a kind experience, especially when paired with boutique wines.

3. Azafrán

Restaurant, Argentina

High-quality produce is the name of the game at this high-end restaurant in Mendoza city. The walls are lined with shelves containing rare craft beers as well as a refrigerator of cured meats. For a unique dining experience, ask to be seated in the wine cellar, which features a single table— the staff will happily provide ponchos to combat the chill.

This Mendoza city eatery has often been described as the best restaurant in the city. Located in an old winery dating back to 1884, this is a perfect spot for date night, especially in good weather: the garden is beautiful and the outdoor tables have a view of the chefs at work.

5. La Posada del Jamon

La Posada del Jamon

The original pioneer of restaurants in the now-booming Uco Valley, La Posada de Jamon has an unpretentious atmosphere and delicious food. The tasty home-cured ham features in many of the dishes on the menu.

Address & telephone number: Ruta Provincial 92, km 13, Vista Flores, Tunuyan, Mendoza, Argentina, +54 262 249-2053

6. Finca Blousson

Finca Blousson

French country cooking is an unlikely partner for Argentinian asado, but Finca Blousson does it impeccably, marrying the two countries’ flavors to create a cuisine all of its own. Case in point: bife de chorizo, topped with cassis sauce, which proves to be a delicious combination. Now that’s diplomacy.
