Dining Out

Mendoza City

Flora
Ladies and Gentleman, Flora has expanded
to Mendoza Center. Originally in Chacras, this
culinary fusion of Argentinean and European
cuisine has now reopened in Mendoza city
center. The décor of beautiful carved wood
and high ceilings makes Flora the perfect
backdrop to any special evening. Upon
visiting, the wait staff went above and beyond
normal service standards and patiently
accommodated the indecisive nature of my
group. On beautifully set tables, our salads
were served fresh alongside homemade
breads and delectable spreads. You’ll have
trouble choosing between the gourmet
entrées such as glazed chicken, rack of lamb,
sandwiches, and grilled fish in paper; all fit
to be paired with a wine from their extensive
wine list. For dessert I recommend the tasting

platter, with a sweet bite or two of all they
offer. Come hungry because this is the type
of place you want to partake in all the courses.
