Fuente y Fonda

Top choice in Mendoza


Take the menu's suggestion with a grain of salt. Mains are good for two if you're overworked gauchos, but are more manageable for three healthy appetites, especially the meat dishes. Most come with bread, salad, a side and dessert, all served in farmhouse dishware. The large, wooden family table in back is often occupied by big groups.

Reservations recommended.
