Azafrán
A Michelin one-star restaurant in central Mendoza, using local goat and vegetables to tell the story of Mendoza's terroir.
Located at 765 Sarmiento Street in the city centre. Chef Sebastián Weigandt insists on local Mendoza ingredients and small-producer goods, with a focus on vegetables and goat, since Mendoza is Argentina's largest goat-producing region. There are four-, six- and nine-course tasting menus. The signature goat is salted for seven days, smoked and then finished over wood fire, served with carob cream and apricot purée. It holds one Michelin star and was once named to the World's 50 Best Restaurants in Latin America. The sommelier-led wine list is excellent. It is open Monday to Saturday evenings and can be booked via OpenTable or by phone.
