We came to this restaurant for lunch. We were greeted with a glass of sparkling wine upon our arrival then we were taken to the outside dining area which was actually a covered room and with AC but because the entire walls were glass, they allowed for stunning views of the surrounding nature. The views from this restaurant are incomparable, with the Andes as a backdrop our meal was promising to be nothing short of amazing. We had a 7 course tasting menu paired with 6 different glasses of wine. All of the dishes we had here when compared to other restaurants we had been to, were truly tasting menu sized dishes. In other words smaller in size than normal. However, the size of the wine pours were not that small so by the end of the meal I was definitely feeling the alcohol. Word of advice, pace yourselves during the meal, don't drink the entire pour or get ready to stumble on your way out of the restaurant. We didn't have time to tour the winery or the cellar since arrived pretty late during their lunch window but we did get to walk a bit around the vineyard and got to appreciate the beautiful surroundings. This was another spectacular tasting meal we had in Mendoza, which along with Bodega La Azul, it's a restaurant not to be missed while visiting this region. The service was outstanding and again the price was half that of what we paid at El Enemigo which we thought was significantly overpriced.

Myself and my wife have visited Mendoza eight times over the last ten years and eaten in at least 20 of the best known bodegas and restaurants in the area. During this most recent visit we sampled the cuisine and wines in three of the most highly rated wineries in the region. Ruca Malen was, undoubtedly, the best experience we had. The food, wine pairing and service were all faultless. The winery has not changed in the ten years or so we have known it and that is a good thing in this case. It is boutique in size and style and understated in its approach to visitors. Staff are highly trained, knowledgeable and very attentive. The food was exquisite, the wines sublime and the Andean vistas are to die for. Very hard to beat what this bodega has to offer.

This might have been the best food that we had in Mendoza. After reading some reviews of this winery restaurant we made a reservation and had lunch there. It was a gastronomic delight. We had 7 delightful courses with wine pairings for each. We loved each dish and wine. The setting and service were impeccable. We took a taxi there and a Remiss back to Mendoza for about 1000 pesos.
