La Bourgogne Review

The only Relais Gourmand in Argentina, Chef Jean Paul Bondoux serves the finest French and international food in the city here. Travel + Leisure magazine rated La Bourgogne the number-one restaurant in South America, and Wine Spectator called it one of the "Best Restaurants in the World for Wine Lovers." Decorated in elegant pastel hues, the formal dining room serves the city's top gourmands. Begin your meal with a warm foie gras scallop with honey-wine sauce or the succulent ravioli d'escargots. The kitchen's fresh vegetables, fruit, herbs, and spices originate from Bondoux's private farm. Downstairs, La Cave offers a less formal experience, with a different menu, though the food comes from the same kitchen. Wine tastings are offered Monday through Friday at 7pm in the restaurant's wine-cellar area, called Cave de Vines; contact La Bourgogne for details.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
