El Papagayo
A tasting-menu restaurant in a narrow corridor of an 1870s townhouse, often called the best restaurant in Córdoba.
Chef Javier Rodríguez opened the restaurant in 2015. It is on Arturo M. Bas Street, in a former servants' passage about 2.3 metres wide and more than thirty metres long. It has only 34 seats, and Dwell named it one of the world's best-designed restaurants. The menu changes daily. Dinner is a multi-course tasting menu only, while lunch offers a three-course option. Dishes are cooked over wood-fired ovens and charcoal. The signature dish since opening is a low-temperature egg with sour cream and chañar fruit syrup. The wine cellar holds more than 400 labels. It is the most expensive restaurant in the city, so advance booking is recommended. It is in the city centre and within walking distance.
