Delicious food and an impressive wine list taken in the courtyard. I will definitely go back. Itamar gave great advice on wines and looked after me well.

Over the top luxurious atmosphere and an incredible culinary experience. Every detail from appearance to taste and service was exceptional!

Had a great meal in an upscale setting with stellar service. The waiter spoke English very well and the menu was in both English and Spanish. A relaxing evening.

Amazing food & service, we absoultely loved it. They have a great wine list and abundance of portions. Our compliments and sincere recommendations!

Another gastronomic gem housed within the luxurious Faena Hotel. El Mercado restaurant boasts a remarkable interior with a mixture of rustic and modern, combined with accents of warm reddish motifs. One of the most cozy and enveloping environments I’ve ever experienced in a restaurant.
The menu focuses on meat and fish, with a selection of local Argentines classics. The finesse with which plates are presented, and the delicacy with which flavors are combined make El Mercado one of the top restaurants in the city if not the entire country.
Service exceeds every conceivable expectation, to say the least.
A fantastic experience in every sense.

Out of all try restaurant at this hotel… this one has the best quality of food and service. Every dish I had so far was decent and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The one item I didn’t care for was the mashed potatoes (it was bland and no flavor). Skirt steak was amazing, so was the salmon.

Summary: stunning steak. Go here.
A fabulous restaurant in quite an amazing building. Got in early on a Sunday lunch and sat outside. The wine list a fabulous array of Argentinean wine. We ended up with a tannat and eventually a Malbec. A surprisingly good price range. Anyway, the wine was excellent.
Food. Starters were some truly amazing little "bomboms" which were fat little sausages made of chopped pork and chorizo. The empanadas were made with slow cooked beef (see the pot in the pictures) and again excellent.
Then the main course. You're here for the steak. I am a great fan of less popular cuts. These guys have some properly aged skirt. Cooked perfectly. Delicious, incredibly beefy, and even better they were not afraid to add salt! Otherwise we had a medium rib, and a well done rib-eye. The latter was cooked perfectly, not the least bit dry.
Dessert was had but I was still having steak flashbacks. A fabulous lunch!
