Casa Coupage — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

This was my first time going to a restaurant in someone’s house, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable meals of my trip! Casa Coupage is run by Santiago, who welcomes guests into his own home for a seven-course dinner with wine pairings.

He takes bookings directly through WhatsApp and is very responsive, explaining everything clearly in advance. It’s cash only, which he notes upfront, and the communication is as professional as any fine dining restaurant.

What impressed me most was how Santiago managed to deliver a true fine dining experience with a small team with himself as our host and waiter. Every dish and wine pairing came with thoughtful explanation, and the whole evening ran seamlessly.

Each course was paired with a different wine from the region, from crisp whites to deep reds. Santiago’s approach is refreshingly down-to-earth: he doesn’t tell you what you should taste but encourages you to trust your own palate and enjoy what you like.

The blind tasting of three reds was a highlight, sparking easy conversation among guests and showing how personal wine appreciation really is.

The food was excellent, the wines outstanding, and the atmosphere relaxed and unpretentious. Casa Coupage is a unique dining experience — intimate, personal, and proof that great hospitality doesn’t need a big staff, just...

Looking for a unique travel/FOOD & WINE experience, do yourself a favor and book a dinner at Casa Coupage. The host, Santiago, an extremely pleasant and friendly man welcomes you into his home. We were five and there were four others whom we had never met. The evening begins on a terrace with sparkling wine, an appetizer and introductions and a short explanation of the wine. It was a perfect clear night. Next we were welcomed into a dining room with floor to ceiling windows, high ceilings and an elegantly set table. Many immaculate wine glasses. The wines were poured and the meal began. Conversation was lively as everyone were seasoned travelers. The food was amazing and expertly prepared. What a perfect evening and one we will remember. And we made new friends. Gracias...

Casa Coupage was our first dinner in our 14-day Argentina Tour. Every single dinner after that was compared to Casa Coupage and none came close. Santiago has put together an incredible and intimate dining experience that focuses on hand-picked wines and a curated dining experience to match the profile of those wines. He'd ask us to first taste the wine, describe it's taste, even guess at the varietal, then try the wine with the food to see how it evolves. The food from the chef was incredible and it was the single best piece of meat we had in a land known for beef. It was so great we tried to go at the end of our trip but sadly it was all sold out at that point.

If you're going to Argentina, Casa Coupage is a must-do for any food...
