Through the years we have become a regular in Petanque. During my last, 3 months, stay I have been eating here 3 times, with different people. We all loved the food. As others stated before it is a relief to eat something different from the steaks and the pastas that are served in Buenos Aires within this class of prizes;... More

6 of us had lunch at Brasserie Pétanque this week. We all had the Master Card menu, which allows to choose between to options of entrée, main course and dessert. The paté was excellent. Those who had the onion soup were not so enthusiastic. Very good boeuf bourgignon (servings a bit on the small side, in my honest opinion), but... More

For our last meal in Buenos Aires we wanted to go somewhere special, and Petanque didn't disappoint. Not only was the food unbelievably exquisite but the service and atmosphere were equally fantastic. My salmon dish was soo tasty my mouth is watering just remembering it! The ocean trout and the mushroom risotto were also an absolute delight. Oh and the... More

Gorgeous Brasserie in San Telmo, this is a hidden little gem. High class food, very authentic - just try the French Onion soup for entree....incredible and never tasted anything like it before. The service is outstanding and the atmosphere, decor is impressive. The value you get is second to none here and I recommend it to anyone visiting Buenos Aires........ More

I had dinner here with the owners of the B & B in which I stayed, who are regulars, and 2 of my fellow guests. The omnivores in our party enjoyed their chicken, beef, and rabbit, and I, a vegetarian, had a good quinoa salad with roasted ratatouille vegetables, and a scalloped vegetable dish that was less successful – a...

A trip to BA would not be complete without visiting Brasserie Pétanque. We first stumbled upon it on Sunday as we were wandering around SanTelmo Sunday market. On the patio, we could see how amazing the food looked. In particular, the salmon tartar looked spectacular and I had to try it. It definitely did not disappoint. Nor did the steak... More

Every time I visit Buenos Aires I try to go to Brasserie Petanque. It is specially nice to go on Sunday lunch, after walking around San Telmo's market. Yesterday my wife and I had a wonderful meal. I had a delicious pork marinated with sweet balsamic. My wife had the honey salmon. Both were perfect. Reservation is required.

First this place is right in the heart of the San Telmo market on Defensa. Couldn't ask for a better location really, especially during the Sunday market. Its bright and airy and very clean. It's also very popular so tends to be crowded. Unless you go on an "off" time you should make a reservation. It could also be considered... More

Staff and interior of restaurant very good. Gets very busy,so advisable to book. My food was good, but my wife ordered lamb chops. More fat and bone than anything else. Owner Pascal,basically said ' some you win some you lose.' No offer of replacing with alternative.
