MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
Restó SCA occupies a listed building in Recoleta, widely considered the most elegant district in Buenos Aires, where it shares occupancy with the headquarters of the Sociedad Central de Arquitectos (SCA), founded in 1886 and one of the country’s oldest professional associations. Located at the end of the building’s former carriage entrance, the restaurant has a subdued bistro-style feel with just a few tables and a bar that is home to an enticing display of cheeses. Previous incumbents here have included renowned chefs such as María Barrutia and Guido Tassi, although it is now the turn of María Magdalena Piaggio, a chef who has an in-depth knowledge of French cuisine and whose fresh Mediterranean and international recipes are based around Argentinian ingredients. Standout dishes include the stuffed quail (the stuffing changes with the seasons), the ricotta gnocchi, and several of her fish dishes, such as the cured Bariloche trout which we particularly enjoyed.
