Overview:
From the garlic wreaths and bouquets of dried flowers hanging from the ceiling to the wood cabinets that line the walls, Azafrán exudes the warmth and exoticism of the spice that inspired its name. The eclectic menu draws products from all over Argentina: Patagonian deer and lamb, Tierra del Fuego crab, and, of course, beef from the nearby Argentine pampas.

Chefs cook meat to perfection, lending a creative spin to their dishes with generous doses of herbs and spices. Don't skip the tapas (especially the crab croquets with ginger sauce and the spicy meatballs) or the venison raviolis. Visit the restaurant's wine library, in which wine racks replace bookshelves, to choose a bottle from the wide array of Argentine wines in all price ranges. The deli next-door features an excellent selection of Mendocino wines, olives, cheeses, and cold cuts - perfect for an al fresco picnic.
