Someone recommended this empanadas lounge and we decided to follow the advice and took the family for empanadas. What a great decision! There is a wide variety of empanadas: vegetarian and with meat. The place is colourful and you feel like in Boca, Buenos Aires… the place where tango was born. We had the menu which included one soup and two empanadas, I thought it was not going to be enough but it was indeed quite feeling. For dessert we had alfajores, I can only recommend. The coffee was also great. The lady serving was quite friendly and we had a short chat: lovely. Can gladly recommend!

Was a bit skeptical at the beginning but we gave it a shot and ended up coming back the very next day too. First off, the lady who serviced us (Bea) was very kind and helpful, she's explained about the varied assortment of patties they have, you'll definitely find something you like, they've got the traditional ones like spicy beef or chicken but also got some vegetarian like cheese and honey, caprese (pizza taste), spinach and mozzarella among others, don't miss out the sweet patties too, I think you can't be disappointed. Things I liked less, the restaurant is rather small and they've got no washroom or toilet. We were lucky to find a free table in the terrace but you'd want your order to take away if else, to eat at home or while having a walk, bon appétit!
