“ The best patagonian trout in the city, good wine chart, delicious pasta and excellent service, live piano performance at dinner, all stars for the historic Doña Quela, absolutely recommended ”
“ We have been four times to Dona Quela. The first three times their ojo de bife was spectacular. Dinner for two with steaks, salad, wine, desserts was about 40 US. Great ambiance, great waiters. The fourth time we took friends and the ojo de bife was terrible. Tough, overcooked and about half the size. They apologized and said they got a bad bach of meat. Before ordering ask if they are back to their regular quality. ”
“ Delicious and high-quality food. Clean and tidy place at a high level. Excellent service. Highly recommended. ”
“ Very good! Advice for local specialties: Bife de Chorizo! Great atmosphere. ”
“ Must say I was a bit reluctant to attend cause all of the 1-star reviews left not so long ago but all things considered we had a very good time. Service was really good, We had the ternera and also the jabalí goulash, the risotto and the deer pasta as main courses. Frutos del bosque, cream brulle and don pedro as dessert. ”
