Welcome to BALVANERA! The first restaurant of Argentine Chef Fernando Navas (elBulli, Nobu, SUSHISAMBA), BALVANERA represents the food, drink & spirit of Buenos Aires - porteña cuisine with influences from the dynamic regions of Argentina. The menu, from inspired and traditional small plates and composed vegetable dishes to signature, pasture-raised meats and friends & family-style platos is a journey from Fernando's culture through his time working in great kitchens in Barcelona, Miami and New York City. The wine list has been developed in collaboration with Argentine Sommelier Nicolas Martianhes. The program showcases a noteworthy selection of new world wines (primarily Argentine/South American), some old world gems and a curated selection of beer.Guests can enjoy a vibrant Monday night BYOB scene, partake in an Argentine Feast Sunday-Thursday nights, raise a glass during bottomless brunch or gather friends for an evening of great food, wine and company!
