Aramburu Relais & Châteaux
Argentina
Reviews
A truly amazing experience. Would highly recommend. They absolutely deserve their stars. I'm convinced anyone who left less than a 5 star review didn't actually eat here. Usually with tasting menus you expect a few dishes to still be experimental and not quite ready yet, but here there were no misses. Every dish was phenomenal. There was obvious attention to small details. The egg shell in the photo was hand painted by the chefs. The staff were all extremely attentive and friendly. Every dish and wine was explained to us in English. The wine pairings were excellent. If you want a 2 star experience, eat here.
One of the most amazing Michelin Star restaurant experiences we have had. This 2 star didn’t disappoint. The staff was top notch and better than 3 stars we have been too. We loved their passion. From the head waitress, general manager, sommelier.
I had a wonderful dining experience at Aramburu in Recoleta. The dishes were not only incredibly delicious but also visually stunning—each plate felt like a carefully crafted piece of art. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a perfect place for a relaxed yet refined evening. One small drawback is that the floor tends to move slightly, so when staff walk around the table, you can feel some vibrations. However, this did little to detract from the overall experience. The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive, taking the time to explain each dish in detail, including the ingredients and the thoughtfully paired wines—which I highly recommend. Argentina is, after all, renowned for its outstanding wines and high-quality ingredients, and this restaurant showcases both beautifully. Special compliments to the manager, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His attentiveness extended even to the point of standing outside with us while we waited for our Uber. A truly memorable experience.
Aramburu came highly recommended across various fine dining forums, so my expectations were high. It turned out to be the best restaurant I’ve experienced in all of South America! Every single course was enjoyable and arrived at a perfect pace. It was neither too fast nor too slow. The timing felt thoughtful and intentional throughout the entire meal. The sommelier was knowledgeable and friendly, which elevated the experience even further. They offer a selection of older vintage local wines (~2005) by the glass but I was especially pleased to find that they offered non-alcoholic pairings. A great deal of care clearly went into crafting each pairing to complement the food. It was absolutely top tier and on par with three star Michelin offerings. Every course was executed to perfection, especially that medium rare duck, and beautifully presented with artistic touches thoughtfully incorporated. All in all, the experience was fun, creative, inspiring, beautiful, and delicious. Having dined at many 2 and 3 star restaurants around the world, I genuinely believe Aramburu deserves its third star. I very much look forward to returning.
We visited Aramburu to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, and the experience exceeded our expectations in every possible way. Sitting at the counter in front of the kitchen allowed us to watch the chefs at work, which made the entire experience even more engaging. Every course was absolutely outstanding. Since we don’t drink much alcohol, we asked for a sparkling wine recommendation, and it paired beautifully with the food light, balanced, and perfect for the meal. The service deserves special recognition. It was, without question, the best dining service we have ever experienced attentive, thoughtful, and perfectly paced, with a genuine sense of care for the guests. One of the most memorable moments came after the main courses, when we were invited to move to a different space for dessert. Enjoying coffee and dessert near the wine cellar created a relaxed, intimate atmosphere that encouraged conversation. Unlike most fine dining experiences where everything happens at one table, this thoughtful transition showed an exceptional level of detail and intention. To top it all off, the team surprised us with a small gift to celebrate our 20th anniversary, which truly touched us and made the evening unforgettable. For the price, the food, service, and atmosphere all deserve a perfect 5 out of 5 and even more. Aramburu is an ideal place for celebrating a truly special occasion.
