What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Restaurante Macacha offers a charming atmosphere with friendly service, especially from the owner. While some dishes are praised as standouts, like the trout, others can be inconsistent. The prices are considered reasonable, particularly given its touristy location. Be aware of potential slow service and the possibility of receiving expired drinks, though many find the overall experience enjoyable.
"Went for lunch and had a wonderful time. Lots of veggie and vegetarian options!! The guy running the restaurant was a former English teacher so it was fun to chat in English. Decor and ambiance is super cute. Only wish there were more copas de vino available (only had a white torrontes which was good but I’m a tinto girl)."

"Delightfully quirky restaurant (when it comes to the interior decoration) but with a very classic menu (some hits, some misses) and very reasonable prices (especially considering how close it is to the most touristy part of town). Positives are the ambience, the kind service and some of the dishes (the trout was excellent both in size and in the way it was cooked) and the very honest prices. Negatives are other dishes (the steak au Torrontes was smallish and had no hint of Torrontes whatsoever), few wine by the cup options and a rather slow service. I wouldn't mind going back (especially now that I know better what to order and what not to), but probably would not be my first choice, either."
