At Azafrán (“Saffron” in English), discover the true essence of Mendoza’s cuisine just a couple of blocks from the Plaza Independencia in the centre of the city. Having gained experienced in numerous restaurants and wineries, chef Sebastián Weigandt has found a true state of contentment here. In his view, the secret to his cuisine lies in the quality of his ingredients – and in this respect Mendoza is a gastronomic paradise. Fully committed to the region, he works with local suppliers and is part of a historical project called DOP that studies foodstuffs that existed in the area’s early settlements. In his contemporary-style eatery, he offers three tasting menus with a touch of modern creativity. On two of these you can select dishes that showcase traditional recipes, such as Weigandt’s version of Mendoza-style Tomaticán stew, and black rice with trout and apple, both with a strong focus on vegetables as well as presentation, with the chef serving some his dishes personally. As you would expect, the restaurant also offers a superb array of wines.
