Malbec New Argentinian Cuisine Description:
Malbec offers candlelit tables, some spilling onto the sidewalk beneath a broad green awning, while its boldly colored walls are lined with artsy photography. Taking over the space from the laid-back Il Capo, more of a deli than full-service restaurant, Malbec appears quite serious about both food and service. Begin with topnotch empanadas or a fine beef carpaccio piled high with a lightly dressed arugula salad before moving on to a selection of meat and pasta dishes. Gnocchi is served with Argentinean beef stew and a hearty porcini sauce, while a Milanesa-style chicken benefits from the ubiquitous chimichurri. A salmoriglio (lemon, garlic, olive oil and oregano) sauce is applied to grilled salmon, and the steaks are attractively priced. For dessert, consider a particularly rich flan or crêpes with apples and dulce de leche. As one might expect, you can find a respectable Argentinean Malbec---several, in fact---at this cozy little spot.
