SĀNTAL — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

I like to begin with the good parts. The place looks amazing, it is very stylish and has a small but functional backyard. The coffee was great and food was ok but we only had the toasts so maybe a deeper investigation is in order. Now for the bad parts. Stupidly small portions for what is supposed to be a "menu" option.

Haven’t tried the lunch options or wine but I’m sure...
