Argentinian French café garden ⛲️ in SOBE! If you ever saw Great Expectations with Gwyneth Paltrow, this hidden spot will take you back to it, as its mystical garden will set the tone for a romantic and fabulous gourmet brunch to indulge your taste for sweet coffee and pastries. Greeted by the charismatics and all hands Sol ?and Juan they will escort you to the comfy spot of your preference and recommend you all of the favorite must-haves! ? I had the pleasure of enjoying a fabulous tower of sweet treats that included:
- the famous Argentine “facturas” dulce de leche half-moon ?, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and sweetened with an authentic dulce de leche spread.
- The ham and cheese half-moon ?, with its buttery texture and a mellow sugar bath together with melted ham and cheese blended the perfect mix of a sweet and savory experience in a bite.
- Crumble “migas” sandwich ?, this could be called the Argentine grilled cheese sandwich with mayo and ham twist. The particular thing about it is the thin layers of toasted bread that don’t overlap the taste of the cheese and ham.
- the Dulce de Leche Bomb ?roll, a sweet pastry filled with succulent dulce spread and cream mix that will explode in your mouth as soon as you place it in your mouth! The confection of sweet flavors will take you to Argentina’s best dulce de leche taste.
- Braid ?cream and dulce de leche pastry, it's an interlaced pastry stick, with the same authentic cream and dulce de lech spread that defines the Argentinan flavor as its other neighbors in the plate.
- drum the rolls ? and dive a special shout out to the Dulce de Leche cheesecake ?!
So creamy and soft and perfectly sprinkled with the right amount of Dulce de leche spread that you will forget about any other you have tasted in the past.
- the cherry on the top ?of this Argentinian Pastry tower of pleasure ?, of course, had to be with two iconic Alfajores, with the rough and consistent texture of a buttery cookie with its traditional Dulce de Leche filling.
- Time to rank the Argentinian empanadas ?:
1. Nut ?, blue and mozzarella cheese. Filled with plenty of everything its name describes. All the ingredients crafted the empanada to perfection.
2. Mushroom ??: not only the mushroom filling will make you suspire, but also the mix of other vegetables (tomato?, pepper ?, and onion ?) that it is spiced with.
3. Ham and cheese: the classic and the one that can’t miss your empanada tasting. This one will never disappoint.
4. Pumpkin ?and corn ?: even though I had high expectations of this specific recipe, compared to the other options, I think I would prefer trying another one next time. If you really enjoy the pumpkin flavor, don’t miss it.
5. Chicken: good as expected, but also nothing special about it.
You will need their coffee shot as is a very well-balanced and genuine Italian roast ☕️, so you can also dip your food order in it.
The food carousel ?of pleasure is orchestrated by Juan who is devoted to following Argentina's strict standards of quality and that easily spreads his passion for the kitchen in everything he puts his hands on! And assisted by Sol who is as brightening as her name ? .
In Gustavo Ceratti’s better-said words: “Gracias Totales”.
