1884 by Francis Mallmann
1884 Francis Mallmann
A wood-fire restaurant by celebrated chef Francis Mallmann, set in a century-old winery. Mendoza-style empanadas cooked in a clay oven are the most praised dish.
Located inside the Escorihuela Gascón winery at 1188 Belgrano Street in Godoy Cruz. The winery was built in 1884, which gives the restaurant its name. Argentine chef Francis Mallmann runs the kitchen. The terrace has grills, wood piles and clay ovens. The menu focuses on local traditional dishes. Mendoza-style empanadas baked in the clay oven are recommended by nearly every diner, and the Michelin Guide specifically praised the tender grilled octopus. The wine list is among the best in the region. Prices are high, and some reviews feel the main courses do not live up to the reputation. It is open Tuesday to Sunday evenings, and reservations must be made directly with the restaurant. It is about 15 minutes by taxi from the city centre.
