Social Paraíso Bistró | Recoleta — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

After shopping in the area, we dropped in here, attracted by the good reviews. Alas, this was not the day to visit Social Pariso. First off, the service was the most incompetent we experienced in a month in Argentina... a nation in which almost universally, waiters take pride in their professionalism. Our waiter, although well-meaning, seems not to have any training whatsoever... water was dropped unopened on the table, the bread was brought halfway through the main course, the table was not cleaned between courses etc.. it seems petty when writing this down, but these are the niceties that help make a meal a pleasant and memorable experience. As for the kitchen, the afternoon went half right. I ordered the "William" salad, (pear with brie and spinach) and the Social burger with patata bravas... both quite good. My wife ordered the ojo... undoubtedly the worst steak we've had in our month here. I urged her to send it back, but the food had taken so long to come out she wasn't in the mood for more waiting. At least the restaurant itself was clean and attractive. A disappointing result for our last Argentine lunch. I hope we have better luck with our...

Yesterday, we visited this exquisite restaurant in the heart of Argentina, and it was an unforgettable evening. From the beginning, we were struck by the cozy and stylish atmosphere of the place. The menu offered a variety of exquisite dishes, each prepared to perfection. The wine was particularly memorable, perfectly complementing our culinary journey.

I want to express special thanks to our waitress, Lus. Her professionalism, knowledge of the menu, and sincere smile made our evening even more pleasant. Lus was attentive to every request, making the evening perfect.

Each dish was a masterpiece, from the delicately sliced starters to the exquisite dessert that exploded with flavor. And, of course, the Argentine wine was something special. This evening will remain in our memory as a bright moment full of culinary discoveries and warm impressions.

Thank you to the restaurant team and personally to Lus for an unforgettable evening. This place is a real discovery for gourmets and those who appreciate a high level of service. We will definitely...

Tourist trap.

Cocktails were watered down. I drank mine cause it still had all the ingredients... it just wasn't good.

Burger was so overcooked I couldn't bite into it. Won't complain about their fries because I think they're an Argentinian thing.

Foccaccia and rolls were dry and overcooked. For some strange reason our starving family waited 30min before the bread came out. It was 7PM when we arrived and only one other couple was in the restaurant.

The pate was like liver whipped cream. Not good.

Bad cubed cheese. The first time our daughter has ever said "no" to cheese! Greasy 'marinated veg' in the appetizer platter. Gritty hummus. We ordered the platter to curb our order, but it came out with the food.

The only thing we finished was the Tortelloni... it was a bit undercooked.

Servers didn't know what Vodka/gin was in the martini. All the food came out at the same time. Cold appetizers can come out first with the bread...

We came here for my wife's birthday and couldn't...
