Villa del Cielo Restaurante — Restaurant in Municipio de Tilcara

Literally hidden gem of Tilcara! I was struggling to find the restaurant since it was dark already and the location is confusing. I wrote them a message on Whatsapp and they responded immediately, giving me instructions how to get in (you have to go through the hotel's courtyard, pass the reception building and then go all the way till you reach the restaurant). The dishes are amazing, it's a Latinamerican fusion, modern and full of the best flavors. The owners are incredibly nice and welcoming, explaining all the ingredients and combinations they use. The prices are for the quality really cheap. Too bad I visited them on my last night of my stay, I'd definitely come back to try something else...

When we first found the restaurant on google maps, I thought it was weird that it had a rating of 5.0 for 200 reviews. But it is actually well-deserved! The ambiance is very nice, good decoration, nice tables. The waiters are super friendly, helpful and nice! The food is extremely good, and beautiful as well. They have a good variety of food, ranging from soups, vegetarian dishes, saucy dishes, to all types of meat: chicken, lamb, beef and even llama (in fact we tried their llama arepas, and they are very good). Our waiter was really nice, helped us pick dishes and answered without problem any questions we had about them. Overall, this place most definitely deserves...

The place has everything a luxury restaurant needs: soft, warm and very cozy decor, top-notch tableware, the lighting is dimmed to just the right degree, the waitress who served me was rare, very smiling and went out of her way to be nice. The empanadas I had for starters were the best I've had in Argentina so far.

The problem was the main course, which you can see in the picture. If I were to rate just that, I would give it two stars, but the experience as a whole would easily be...
