Anchoita in Buenos Aires

"First time back in 2 years and wish I hadn’t waited so long to return! One of the best (or the best) restaurants in BA. Service was incredible, the food was delicious and the atmosphere is unlike any other restaurant in the city. Also surprised I was able to get in as the restaurant was full but they were able to accommodate a walk-in, solo diner at 10pm."

"AMAZING! I loved my dinner here. They made my favorite cocktail here. Make a reservation and don’t be shy to have them explain anything you don’t understand"

"Top top top! If I could, I would return everyday to eat here. Food is creative while showcasing local products/food, everything is delicious, and executed to perfection! The service was also very warm, welcoming, and everyone was so kind! They gave us excellent recommendations for food and wine. Lastly, the wine list has incredible local gems! Will definitely return & recommend!"

"Anchoíta delivers a dining experience that feels both grounded in Argentine tradition and elevated by creative flair. From the moment you walk into its industrial-chic space, the atmosphere feels intimate yet unpretentious — dim lights, a well-curated playlist, and the buzz of the open kitchen create the perfect backdrop for a date night that feels special without trying too hard. The service strikes the right balance between attentiveness and distance, letting the food and company take center stage. The stuffed chipá arrived warm and slightly crisp on the outside, revealing a perfectly oozing center. The pâté de mollejas was a standout: rich, silky, and deeply flavored without being overwhelming, paired beautifully with fresh bread and pickles that cut through its intensity. The main, merluza negra with lemon, was simple on paper but extraordinary on the plate — flaky, moist, and bathed in a citrus-forward sauce that brightened every bite. There’s a quiet confidence in how the kitchen lets each ingredient shine. Drinks were part of the narrative. Each cocktail felt curated to surprise: nuanced, aromatic, and unlike the usual offerings elsewhere in the city. Anchoíta isn’t just serving good food; it’s crafting an experience that feels wholly its own. It’s the kind of place you leave already planning to return — not out of routine, but because it gives you something to remember."

"One of my favorite restaurants in Buenos Aires. We were here several times, usually with the friends and family. Everything was great, from the service to the food."

"Wow. This place is amazing. My friend and I were waking around the neighborhood and it started pouring rain . We saw this nice restaurant on google maps to we went in for dinner. It was late and we didn’t have a reservation but the host was more than accommodating and sat us at the bar for a drink while they prepared our table. The bar staff was excellent and we were sat at our table in about 15 minutes. Marcos our server was so helpful and very knowledgeable about everything in the menu, and he spoke perfect English (great for us, since our Spanish is limited). We had some empanadas a salad and roasted carrots for our appetizer. I had the grilled shrimp and my friend had the pasta with pork. The attention to detail was amazing. It really was a top tier experience. I would recommend this to all my friends. The food was delicious, the staff was so nice and welcoming the overall experience was 10 stars! Thank you so much for a great, unexpected mea."

"Upscale restaurant - if you go an hour before they open and line up for waitlist, you can probably get a table if the size is reasonable. We got a table for 4 for 8pm which is when they open. Based on our tastebuds, the mains (meats) were pretty average but all the sides and desserts stood out. The mushrooms were divine, ice cream was super, beat salad was refreshing, onions were great, etc."

"Nice experience overall. Their home-made utter was surprisingly good. Liked the open kitchen in the middle of the table. Cheese / charcuiterie section was cute and gives nice vibes. Servers were smiling and kind. Food was tasty - steak was cooked perfectly as we requested, eggplant was interesting, pasta in pasta was a bit difficult to understand but still good. Will be back!"
