Rosario’s Delicacies

Muelle 1

Marcelo Santana’s restaurant qualified, from the very beginning, to be included in the top list. A totally white pleasant decoration surprises the visitor. Sculptures by Julio Pérez Sáenz, under the magnificent lighting by Piedra Buena, who does lighting jobs for the singer Fito Páez, provide an open, very clear space “for people to show off” –as Santana asserted, once he welcomed us.

With a bountiful menu, it does not avoid either American or Mediterranean canons. Cristian Denis, chef at Muelle 1 and devoted to well applied techniques, prepares delicious and perfect dishes, characterized by being elaborated with ingredients of the best quality.

If you choose to taste Rosario’s gastronomy, try some mollejas accompanied by a reduced sauce of balsamic wine vinegar, fresh mushrooms and crisp Parmesan cheese. If your taste leads you to sea fruits, do not hesitate to order puff pastry stuffed with shrimp and prawn paste or a mousse of pink salmon and sole, accompanied by a green-leave bouquet.

The service is relaxed, granting the visitor a fresh and limpid atmosphere. If you sit by the Muelle 1 large picture windows, you will watch the lively harbor activity typical of this city.
As it has excellent cuisine, in this opportunity we have the duty to recommend three dishes you cannot miss: grilled surubí marinated in garlic and dry pine mushrooms, accompanied with butter and fresh herbs, and country potatoes in pepper on the side, tenderloin in very Mediterranean mushroom sauce or pork sirloin steak in a sauce made with brown sugar, prune and currants.
A very good and varied wine menu accompanies every choice.
At Muelle 1, you will experience multiple and diverse sensations in your palate. If after your meal you wish to use a toothpick, do not ask the waiter for them. You can find them at the toilette.
