Espacio Monteviejo is one of those gastronomic experiences that remain etched in your memory.
The first thing that catches you is the place. An incredible landscape of vineyards and wineries at the foot of the Andes Mountains. A winery that welcomes you with vineyards that are "mounted" on the sides of the building. A very tall, thick, heavy door, the largest I have ever seen. Once inside, if you go up the stairs you can see wine cabinets, the laboratory, offices, the room with the fermentation tanks, until you reach the third floor where the terrace and the restaurant are. That's where the best begins, with an almost panoramic view of the entire Uco Valley.
Due to the pandemic, I had to have lunch on the terrace, but inside the atmosphere is elegant and sober (the bathrooms are a luxury!). The letter is passed to you on WhatsApp and you have gel alcohol on the table. The food arrives and the journey begins. First three cold tapas and then three hot tapas. Each "mini plate" is a work of art in itself, with an incredible mix of flavors, textures and colors. The dessert is not out of tune and marks the end of the trip. After eating you can order a coffee or simply enjoy the view and take photos with the mountains or vineyards in the background.
The price is not cheap, but it is much more accessible than a menu of steps, and since I am a good eater, I ended up very satisfied. The price-quality ratio is very convenient.
