Bariloche, Argentina - Day 5

Today after Spanish lessons, I went out eat at a great steak restaurant called Tarquino. It was housed in a beautiful house that looked like something straight out of Lord of the Rings. It had a hobbitesque door and décor with the exposed oak beams and the tree growing the middle of the restaurant adding to the appeal. However, as with any meal, you go for the food and the food was definitely on key. The bife de lomo (beef tenderloin) was melt in your mouth tender; you did not even need a knife. And the flavor was so intense and complex despite a seemingly mundane preparation process of straight grilling with no flavorings. While the tenderloin was star of the meal, the Patagonian lamb was also excellent, savory and rich with a hint of gaminess without being overwhelming. If you're ever in Bariloche, I would highly recommend the place.
