Great house and ambiance, subpar food. The dishes made little to no sense on a conceptual level, and the problem was exacerbated by poor execution. I appreciated that many of the herbs were taken from the backyard garden, but they could have taken the liberty of leaving the bugs behind. Final tip, if you do want to go for the cultural experience: Make sure to get a place outside lest you get put in the stuffy indoors.

I’m surprised Casa Felix has not gotten any reviews(it has quite a few on Trip Advisor). It’s one of several Puertas Cerradas /«Closed-Door» restaurants in Buenos Aires which are informal dining establishments usually located in the chef’s home. Casa Felix offers a Pescetarian multi-course menu for AR$ 370(just over $ 30USD, if you’re exchanging on the blue market) with a wine pairing for AR$ 160. You need to contact them via email /website to make a reservation and then they will let you know the time & address(so I’ve just added the neighborhood to the listing). I’ve uploaded pictures of the menu as well as all of the courses except the spiked chicha morada«Welcome Drink» and the«From the Garden» cheese skewer(which I gobbled down before thinking of photos). Diego Felix was a gracious host coming to each table to explain the dishes and paired wines. The one dish which we were on the fence about was the Fish & Corn Bori Bori and Watermelon Llajwa( ) which was a watermelon gazpacho with the fish & corn balls which were very dense /tough, which is probably picking nits as we can’t say we have a good basis for Bori Bori comparisons. Anyway, we thought overall it was great food, a fun time, and excellent value(ymmv). Definitely recommend checking them or one of the other Puertas Cerradas(iLatina, Casa Saltshaker, etc), if you have a chance. 4.5 stars for the food, rounding up to 5 for the warm service and great experience. Also, Casa Felix closes down for the winter and migrates north for pop-ups. Here’s where they went last year
