    📝 We had a great dinner coupled with very attentive and professional service from Cristian. The restaurant offers various dishes: from salads to pastas and the usual Argentine meat. However, we were told that it's particularly good for fish: this proved in fact to be true. 🍴 Based on what we heard, we opted for local fish: one surubi (with white wine sauce) and one grilled pacu (same family as piranha). Both fish were super tasty and perfectly cooked. Before that we also had langostinos in tempura with guacamole: a very nice entrada. 🍮 As dessert we ordered an apple/pear tarte tatin (delicious and recommended) and another chocolate dessert which had a very weird taste and we thought it wasn't good. We sent it back and thankfully it wasn't part of the final bill. ☝🏼 We were offered some little amuse bouche before dinner and also digestif after dessert. You can pay in pesos, reales, USD or EUR, making it pretty flexible.

    Good steak and seafood restaurant - well cooked and flavourful. The starters were also good, we chose the shrimp and empanadas. I have to say the best empanadas I ate were on in Santiago but these ones were not so bad. The restaurant gets busy, so reservations are highly recommended. The service is very good and waiters are friendly. Good selection of food and wine and the prices are reasonable.

    Beautiful and busy restaurant until closing. Their menu is quite expensive but the quality of the food and the attention of the servers are second to none. Our server spoke very good English and the menu had English and Portuguese translations. As a note, people were arriving to the restaurant as late as 10:30 though they say they close at 11. Also, they have free WiFi. We ordered the beef tenderloin dish, the ribeye with gnocchi, and the assortment of mini desserts. All dishes were amazing. The beef tenderloin was super tender and came with this white sauce that was nicely cheesy (but not in a weird way). The ribeye was also very tender and came with a savory peppercorn sauce. The sauce was complex and had umami. The gnocchi on the other hand was good but should not be named gnocchi. It was more like a corn muffin or salty polenta. Nonetheless, it was moist and soaked up the peppercorn sauce well. Don’t get me started on the mini dessert assortment. All four desserts (passion fruit mousse, white chocolate ganache on brownie, flan, and a mate crème brûlée) on the plate were amazing. The passion fruit mousse was bright and sour but not overly so. The mousse was soft and melted in your mouth. The ganache on brownie was sweet and had a slight crunch. The flan came with dulce de leche and was firm and just sweet enough. Lastly, and my personal favorite, the mate crème brûlée really had no mate flavor but there was a hint of bitterness to the dish and it wasn’t overly sweet. Come here if you come visit Iguazú! I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll enjoy to eat on the menu (their menu is quite extensive but still thoughtfully arranged).

    This spot was referred to me by a local and they nailed it right on the head! The goldfish dorado had the most perfectly crisped skin and flavor profile and dessert (Yerba mate creme brûlée) was the most delicious twist on the famous herbal drink! A must go-to spot when you’re in town

    Was recommended by a Brazilian taxi driver while we crossed over from Brazil. Definitely worth it. Service was very good... food on par and overall ambience was cosy.

    Starters came out fridge cold (nothing fresh or at least reheated). Tropical salad was a joke, 3 pieces of tomatoes some greens and some pieces of pineapple not even mixed together. Disappointing. Medium stake came well done. Too tired from the day to even send them back.

    Very good steak quality and sauces! Potatoes on the side were delicious but they served only one, which is quite a small portion. Dessert looked spectacular. The taste was good, but nothing extraordinary though.

    Came there at the end of the busy day. We had no reservation, so they took us to the second level. Ribeye and filet minion in Dijon sauce were excellent. Delicious and inexpensive Malbec (we had Trumpeter, I believe.) Highly recommended.

    (Translated by Google) Very delicious burgers. The criolla XL, huge and delicious. There are also pizzas, loins and Milanese sandwiches. Nice place in front of the square, well set, very urban and modern. Four stars and not five because I did not like the music (it sounded reggaeton). (Original) Muy ricas hamburguesas. La criolla XL, enorme y deliciosa. También hay pizzas, lomitos y sándwiches de milanesa. Lindo local frente a la plaza, bien ambientando, bien urbano y moderno. Cuatro estrellas y no cinco porque no me gustó la música (sonaba reggaeton).

    One of the best restaurants in Puerto Iguazú, though a bit more expensive than the others. Their Pacu and Lomo with mustard are just great!

    Had a lovely meal but the staff ripped me off. We were charged $8.60 for a small extra serving of sauce. I raised it with the staff and they said it was correct and wouldn't change it.

    Extensive menu but we especially appreciated the variety of fresh fish dishes and preparations: with sauces, grilled or fried. Choices included: golden dorado, surubi,and pacu.

  • 5/5 George D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great dinner great service and wonderful service from the waiter who recommended a great wine. Best restaurant in Iguazu...far far better than overated Patanegra.

  • 3/5 Armando Z. 11 months ago on Google
    Everything was fine, good fish, good drinks and dessert... until some waiter guy told me I had to leave the table because some people were waiting, that was impolite. I wish I could have met my girl waiter I had at the beginning, she made my meal truly amazing.

  • 5/5 Denise S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to dine in Iguazú. We started with the misionero dish to try the local specialties. It was good. The pacú with asparagus was amazing. We asked for the dessert degustation. I really enjoyed the Maracuyá one, the rest were fine but nothing special. The yerba mate dessert was also ok. Service was very kind and it was a nice evening. Recommend to book in advance.

  • 5/5 Rachel B. 9 months ago on Google
    After a few weeks traveling in Argentina, I was looking for a nice dinner out for my last night in the country. Aqva was exceptional. The food and service made my night. My server was excellent, kind, and graceful with my lack of Spanish. I was able to try Paku, a local fish. They offered me a complimentary digestif with my check. A must visit in Puerto Iguazu.

  • 5/5 T.L. I. 1 year ago on Google
    If you like fish, come here. It was amazing! We had the local Surubi, which is like a catfish. Very tender and skin was crispy and perfect. Had the local appie plate which was delightful. We didn’t have any meat unfortunately, so I can’t speak to that. Great vino selection and the atmosphere was so good we enjoyed a second bottle of vino to enjoy the ambience! It was an easy afternoon lunch, I could imagine it could be really busy at dinner time. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Gerald P. 1 year ago on Google
    Must have been one of my all time favorite restaurant visits in South America. We arrived late in the evening in Iguazu, got a recommendation from our host und went to Aqva. We had to wait a few minutes but not much, although I would definitely recommend to reserve a table if you are not arriving literally in the last open minute 😁 the food was amazing, the steak like a poem, awesome bread and very good sides. If I could I would have come several times 🤠. If you are around, try it, this is a must visit.

  • 5/5 Ashley D. 9 months ago on Google
    Excellent all around! Started with a bottle of Malbec. Had steaks - the steak with cheese was so fantastic I got it twice! The dessert sampler was excellent and worth trying as well. High recommend. Among the best steaks we had in two weeks in Argentina.

  • 3/5 James 4 months ago on Google
    Among the restaurants in the area, Aqva has some of the higher prices and has a strangely elitist status. The food is good, but I wouldn't consider it the best steak I've had in Argentina. In fact, I actually found other restaurants in the area to have better prepared steak. The appetizer of a tropical salad was really more of a fruit salad, and I was disappointed by the lack of other vegetables on the plate. Their dessert (I had the Tarta Tatin) was overly sweet and I couldn't finish it sadly. The staff are nice, but slow and not always the most attentive. It seems like they're mostly doing it for the tips (which they only take in cash). Overall, not the worst experience, but I'm not sure why it's considered the number one recommendation online...

  • 5/5 francisco i. 6 months ago on Google
    Best fillet mignon in my seven days visit to Argentina. On top of that, they also had proper extra virgin olive oil, which made all the difference to the salad dressing. Great ambience and better food; if you’re in Puerto Iguazú and in doubt, go ahead and give it a go, you won’t be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Rylan G. 5 months ago on Google
    Easy 5 star to give! If you can, reserve ahead of time. The atmosphere, food and service here are incredible. The wooden lodge feel with live guitar music was perfect. The orange juice was freshly pressed from an orange. The empanadas, gnocchi with fresh tomatoes and filet minion were among the best I’ve had. Empanadas were fried and juicy. The filet minion was tender and flavorful. The gnocchi with tomato tasted fresh, light, and kinda like bruschetta which I loved. Service is so friendly and professional. I cannot recommend this place more!

  • 5/5 Michal O. 7 months ago on Google
    Probably the best steak in my life. Rib-eye with melted cheese. If you are in Iguazu try this restaurant. The waitress can speak very good english what is not common in this town.

  • 5/5 Kathryn Krieger B. 5 months ago on Google
    Here my husband and I had the best steaks of our lives. The service was relaxed and I was never rushed. I recommend the ribeye and ordering a bottle of wine with dinner. Save room for dessert! I recommend making a reservation at least 3 days in advance or be prepared to wait. But I promise it it worth the wait.
