There are a few La Bourgogne restaurants in Argentina and fortunately I’ve had the opportunity to eat at both of them.   One located at the Alvear Palace in the Recoletta section of Buenos Aires and the other is located at the Carlos Pulenta Bodega (or vineyard).  It is amazing that these two restaurants, separated by hundreds of miles, is still able to produce the same consistent dishes, sauces, and desserts.  They always start you off with a flute of champagne and follow each course with a delectable cleanser to prepare your tastes buds for the next course.  I tend to select the filet mignon while in Argentina.  They are famous for their meats and having a traditional French chef prepare these excellent cuts of meat only adds to the experience not found in most restaurants.  Most people who travel to Argentina go by way of Buenos Aires and if you find yourself there, make certain to visit the Alvear Palace and have a 5 course meal at what some call the best French Restaurant in Buenos Aires. 

 If you are fortunate enough to make it to Mendoza Argentina, where most people are visiting to sample the regions wines, take a tour of the Carlos Pulenta vineyards and enjoy a dinner at La Bourgogne, where you will be surrounded by the rolling hills of South America’s most famous wine region.
