Dada: the best restaurant in town

Located in the heart of our SoHo like neighborhood, without a doubt Dadá is the mecca of delicious plates, tasty cocktails and art.
Among many bars and restaurants of the area, it attracts you with its red unusual Paris-like façade. And just like its facade, Dadá is very unique: decorated with a Mondrian glass wall, pop art paintings of Argentina’s most famous artists Cinalli, Nigro, Frasca, Maccio, Duarte among others, a monumental mosaic bar,  and 50s light fixtures, makes one feel like Alice, fell into the Wonderland.
Owner Paulo Orcorchuk and his brother Mateo run this gem, with love, dedication and attention to the detail (service is one of the best in town, waitresses are well trained).  According to Ines de los Santos, portena IT girl/entrepreneur/barista Dada has one of the best cocktail bars in town. It offers modern portena cuisine with french details, accompanied by a boutique wine list (Ruca Mallen and Benegas).


Specialties include the unforgetable lomo dada (tenderloin marinated in dijon mustard serve over gratinaded potatoes), ojo de bife (sirloin served with potatoes, rosemary, rucula in creole sauce), polenta grillada con seleccion de hongos (grilled polenta with mushrooms) and delicious torta humeda de chocolate caliente (warm and juicy chocolate cake). Aside from those  they also serve daily specials marked on the chalk bored hanged by the bar, and tasty fresh pastas.

This tiny gem, kept for long time as a secret by the locals is always frequented by famous artists, actors, and colorful characters of the neigborhood. Paulo is always there and makes every customer feel they are at home and welcomed in this colorful and fun bistro in the ‘hood.
