Top choice in Surry Hills & Darlinghurst
This upbeat and deservedly acclaimed Argentine restaurant is a great place to eat. The 'animal of the day' is slow-roasted for eight hours before the doors even open and is always delicious. Other highlights include homemade chorizo and morcilla, but lighter touches are also in evidence, so it's not just a meat feast. There's a decent Argentine wine list too.
Around the corner, sister tapas bar WyNo X Bodego brings wine to the forefront with a 300-strong list.
