What a gem!! Hard to find a vegetarian restaurant amongst all of the meat in Argentina and Chui was an absolute stand out!! We started the night with drinks and snacks at the front bar area while we waited for a table- the snacks were great and it felt like you were in a jungle. The atmosphere in the back main area was so cozy and everything we ordered was perfectly flavourful!
Needs some deflating. Lovely setting. 2:1 staff-to-client ratio. But $15000 for a gin and tonic.. ugh. $8000 per Bao, they better be pretty spectacular... But they weren't. The service better be killer... But our Muppet disappeared for 15 minutes when time for the bill. Nice gardens but the experience did not justify the price or ratings.
High prices for high quality of food and service. Atmosphere was epic. You get to watch the chefs working and the they have a nice yard full of plants. Please order the Baske cheese cake.
Delicious food and a really wonderful dining experience with attentive service. I walked in around 7pm on a Saturday without a reservation and was greeted warmly by the receptionist. She found a table for me within a few minutes, which was a great start to the evening. Our waitress came by to explain the menu and shared some recommendations. She was professional but also very approachable, and took the time to walk us through each dish, which I really appreciated. We ordered the grilled avocado, mushroom pâté, focaccia bread, potato with stracciatella, and the fugazetta pizza. Every dish looked beautiful when it arrived. My favorites were the grilled avocado and the mushroom pâté — both were packed with flavor, earthy and rich, with just the right touch of acidity from the pickles to balance everything out. The fugazetta pizza was exceptional too, especially the perfectly caramelized onions. For dessert, we had the citrus, strawberries, almond crunch, marshmallow, white chocolate, and tangerine cream. It was light but full of complementary flavors. The creamy sweetness paired really nicely with the crunchy almond crisp, and the citrus and strawberries kept it fresh and bright. You could tell it was thoughtfully put together. Overall, this is great food and a place everyone should try when visiting Buenos Aires. It’s a refreshing break from the usual steak and meat-heavy spots you’ll find around the city.
The place is amazing to have dinner, very cozy and beautiful at night. The food is extremely delicious, menu is very unique, workers are friendly. It was cold outside and we asked to move us inside even though we didn’t have reservation they helped us, we appreciate it! We will definitely come back!
