We asked a local where we could eat the best steak in Salta, and were recommended this restaurant. And they were right: this was one of the best, if not the best, steak we tasted in Argentina! Also go for their bottle of red house wine. Great value for money. More

There are two La Monumental restaurants in Salta diagonally opposite each other. We went to the upmarket one for a special Christmas Eve set menu. Perhaps the numbers overwhelmed them but it was expensive and the food quality was poor - entree included ham and cheese sandwich (!) and the deserts were unremarkable ice creams. Our main course of oven... More

We stayed in Salta 3 different nights while doing a circuit to Cafayate/Cachi and then up to Purmamarca. We were staying at the Ayres de Salta and walked easily to the restaurant. The first time we went to the more casual "pizzeria and parrilla." We arrived at 9:15p and the place was pretty empty but by 9:30pm it was filled... More

I liked the steak and the atmosphere. In the evenings in the summer, they put tables outside. It is a favorite of the locals, and you will see many families at the tables, enjoying a meal together. More

great food in a lovely setting. The bread and dips you get for free at the start are amazing. I had a massive steak and my partner had the chicken skewer. They were both delicious and came in huge portions. Id 100% recommend this place More

La Monumental was recommended by the chap in our hostel as an unpretentious, not spectacular looking local food haunt....but importantly, somewhere the Salta locals would eat. We were treated to one of the best meals we'd tasted in Argentina. An amazing selection of dips to go with bread as an appetiser, such as alioli, butter beans in oil and garlic,... More

Altho both evenings we were almost the first ones in the restaurant, by 9 PM the place was bustling!!! Wait staff attentive.......the bread and 6 bowls of salsa and beans delicious....and our bife...

Our problem, being English, is waiting till at least 8.30pm to eat!! La Monumental opens at 8.30 and we got there about 8.45 and already some local in. It was full of locals - an excellent sigh. The service was very good - mind you it wasn't full. It is one large rctangular room with fairly bright lighting so has... More
