A Culinary Masterpiece: Musgo in Buenos Aires
From the moment I stepped through the doors of Musgo, I knew I was in for something truly extraordinary. The experience began with the warm, impeccably trained staff who greeted me with genuine hospitality. Every interaction was seamless, exuding a level of professionalism and attentiveness rarely seen. The service was precise yet unobtrusive, making me feel not just like a customer, but a welcomed guest in a space where every detail had been meticulously thought through.
Then came the food—a revelation in itself. Each dish was a testament to the art of fine dining, masterfully blending Patagonian ingredients with Asian influences and a minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic. Every plate was an exercise in precision, each bite an explosion of delicate yet powerful flavors. The ingredients were fresh, the pairings innovative yet deeply comforting, and the presentation—simply breathtaking.

Read moreOne of our favorite restaurants in Buenos Aires. We have visited it several times, and the cuisine has always been outstanding — dishes of the highest level, and special thanks go to the chef. It truly is a gastronomic delight.
However, during our most recent visit, a few things left us disappointed. The service was not up to the usual standard. To begin with, our waitress mixed up one of the main courses: I had ordered lamb, but was served fish instead, which had never been mentioned during the order. As a result, I had to wait longer while the rest of the table had already finished their meals.
When my long-awaited lamb finally arrived, it was quite a letdown. I had specifically come this time for that dish, but it felt rushed, as if it had been prepared in a hurry after the mistake. It didn’t match the presentation in the menu photo — instead of being served with a berry sauce, the lamb seemed to be swimming in its own juices. On my plate, everything blended together into an unappetizing mixture of meat juice and berries. Unfortunately, I couldn’t enjoy the dish at all.
Moreover, after that, it felt like we were forgotten. Dirty plates were left on the table for a long time until we had to ask for them to be cleared, even though we had already finished both appetizers and main courses. This had never happened to us during previous visits, and it felt disappointing for a restaurant of this level.
I should also mention that when booking the table, we had specified that it was for a birthday, yet nothing was acknowledged, which added to the overall negative impression of...
Read moreI have eaten in fine restaurants across the USA, Japan, the UK, and South America. While in Buenos Aires we tried two other very famous Michelin starred restaurants before we ate at MUSGO on a whim. And with all honesty this may be the finest meal I've had in my life.
The attention to detail shines through in every aspect. From the lighting to the decor to the music to the presentation, everything was obviously and carefully curated and intentional.
I'd describe the menu as Patagonian Japanese fusion. The food is not cheap but the value is amazing, as we had several more expensive meals in BA that were great but seemed plain in comparison to MUSGO.
The highlight of the experience was being served by Fernando. I can't say enough about him. He was absolutely impeccable in every respect. His recommendations were perfect and it was thanks to him we had a dining experience we will remember forever.
For appetizers we had the shrimp tartar, the scallops, and the sweetbreads. Our entrees were the duck and the japanese tenderloin. Every dish was expertly conceived, presented with care and beauty, and prepared with clear expertise. And Fernando's wine pairings were ideal.
Honestly, this restaurant is, in its entirety, a work of art. If you are looking for a truly fine experience in BA you must go here.
I don't even write reviews often, but I had to do it for MUSGO. Bravo! And thank you Fernando, for such a...
