María Antonieta

María Antonieta is the tasteful restaurant of Vanina Chimeno, protegee and also wife of famed Argentine chef Francis Mallmann. This bright bistro-style restaurant serves up fresh, polished and indulgent dishes with a small but well-curated list of wines which includes small producers and big names on the wine scene in Argentina.

​The Mendoza-focused wine list includes some of Argentina’s most important players but also includes some lesser-known, independent producers, and a couple of boutique-production wines from over the Andes in Chile. It isn’t the most extensive list in Mendoza, but it is a well-curated selection with nice wines by the glass in case you prefer to sit in the shady tables outside with a glass to while away the siesta hours in Mendoza.
