La Cantina

Iguazú Falls & the Northeast


Just off the plaza, this likable family-run restaurant with colorful Andean textiles on the tables does a nice line in uncomplicated and filling fare, with sizable chicken and beef dishes alongside tasty homemade pasta and river-fish options, including surubí empanadas. The homemade hot sauce is first class.
