Gioia Cocina Botánica
100% vegan €€€
Buenos Aires' most elegant fully-vegan kitchen, perched on a Hyatt terrace where eggplant croquettes open the night and walnut agnolotti close the argument.
What to order
- 1 Potato tortellini in broth
- 2 Eggplant croquettes
- 3 Ricotta, walnut & spinach agnolotti
Insider tip
Skip the ravioli (a recurring weak spot in reviews) and go straight for the potato tortellini in broth or the ricotta walnut & spinach agnolotti, they're the dishes that convert skeptics. If the Maritozzo fritto is still on the menu, treat it as a work-in-progress worth trying, not a centerpiece.
The area
Recoleta is grand and a little formal, with tree-lined streets and French architecture, the cemetery is unmissable and the neighbourhood has more good eating than its reputation suggests.
