The Independent Magazine (London) - Saturday 7 May, 2005

"They're the kind of places you can go into in bloody overalls and expect a friendly reception and the Argentinian staff here certainly manage that. " Thomas Sutcliffe

"We love the bowls of chimichurri sauce..." Jan Moir

Evening Standard (London) - Wednesday 13 April 2005

Time Out (London) - Issue no.1806, March 30/April 6, 2005
