Cocina Argentina: Nine-Course Argentinean Tapas Menu for Two at Zoilo

Why we love it

South America is the culinary epicentre of 2015 and Chef Diego Jacquet's Zoilo has become the choice venue for innovative Argentinean cuisine. With a background that includes the 'Restaurant of the Millenium' El Bulli, Jacquet has mastered the art of blending traditional flavours and contemporary techniques. This exclusive-to-Truly dinner features delectable tapas as evidence, along with a signature cocktail to wake up your taste buds.

Description

South American food has officially swept London. At the forefront of that movement has been Argentina native Chef Diego Jacquet and his neighbourhood restaurant located near Marble Arch. Zoilo is the perfect playground from which Chef Jacquet showcases his innovative take on 'cocina Argentina'.

Jacquet honed his craft working under world-renowned chefs; including Marcus Samuelsson of double-Michelin starred Aquavit restaurant in New York, and Ferran Adria of El Bulli in Roses. And it is this education that allowed the chef to produce deceivingly-complex food, with utmost refinement.

Your experience will begin with a welcoming signature cocktail or aperitif – the Mr. Hendricks comes highly recommended – as well as a series of small sharing plates such as Queso de Chancho and Provoleta. The culinary experience continues with unique dishes including Humita and Crab; described by food critic Giles Coren as “sublime”.

You’ll be served the 'Asado'; a grilled flank steak with bone marrow jus. Follow dinner with the cult hit dulce de leche crème brûlée, served with banana split ice cream. An indulgent finish to this unique reinterpretation on Argentinian cuisine.

Amazing Restaurant and food!

Maria - 16/06/2017

I had to change my booking on the same day I was supposed to go to the Restaurant as I was not feeling good. The Truly team were wonderful and managed to change it no problem. The restaurant is very intimate, the food is delicious (specially the Asado, Provolone and Dessert!) Would definitely recommend!

Brilliant Argentine Experience

Paul - 11/06/2017

The food was fantastic and all of the staff very knowledgeable, friendly and made our meal memorable. We also had the wine package which really complimented the dishes. Brilliant restaurant.
Cosy well lit bolt hole with exceptional food and reasonably priced wine!

John - 10/06/2017

Food quality was exceptional, table service was spot on attentive but not too much. Friendly atmosphere, not too noisy but lively and the wine list was not expensive, particularly for the area. A really good find!

Lovely food and wines (but beware service charge not included)

Gemma - 28/05/2017

The food was excellent and the wines were too. There was a good variation of dishes and the staff were friendly. However 12.5% service was added as extra which should be included - we were bought this as a present so weren't expecting to have to pay £20 ourselves. Would be nice if tea/coffee were included at the end too since this is a minimal cost to the restaurant.
Highly recommended

Melek - 27/05/2017

Delicious!!

Apiniya - 13/05/2017

The food surpassed my expectations that were already very high from all of the good things I've heard about Zoilo.

It definitely was one of the best meals I've had this year. Our favourite dish was the provencal cheese which was unlike any cheese I've tried before.

Almost every bit of food we were given was delicious! Which is quite an achievement for a menu with 9-10 dishes. Would love to go back for another special occasion. :)

Excellent Substitute

Heidi - 22/04/2017

Natalia pulled one out the bag for us after our original experience was cancelled whilst we were en route to it!

Excellent experience

Pauline - 13/04/2017

Excellent service and excellent food. The chef was kind enough to re organise our tasting menu, as I had forgotten to inform Zoilo that I was allergic to fish . Sorry about this but many thanks.

Marvellous Monday

Kate - 11/04/2017

The food was superb and we were really well looked after. Would thoroughly recommend Zoilo.
An Argentine experience you'll never forget!

Damien - 08/04/2017

Epic Food

Dan - 07/04/2017

The food was amazing. The black pudding was unreal.
Argentina Dining delight

Stephen - 05/04/2017

We liked that the restaurant is small alllowing the chefs to do everything well and the waiters to be attentive. The waiters are very good. The food was extremely good and for the price it's a bargain. Particularly notable were the tomato salad, provoletta, soused mackerel and the outstanding flank of beef which was in a class above any beef we can recall eating. The beef dish merits its own Michelin star. Great wines and what a nice change to be order half caraffes of so many of them.

Best Steak we've ever eaten

Mark - 18/03/2017

It was fabulous!

Malcolm C. - 19/02/2016

The 10 course tapas menu is a shared tasting menu rather than small tapas dishes that we were expecting. It was fabulous! The chef and staff we friendly and we would certainly go there again.
Great food

James L. - 08/02/2016

Nice atmosphere, great food, friendly/knowledgeable staff. We also needed to move our booking last-minute due to train delays, and Zoilo were very accommodating and understanding.

Would absolutely dine there again

Carter B. - 18/01/2016

My husband I were given this dinner as a Christmas gift so we did not know what to expect. The food was delicious and the timing of when each course was presented was perfect. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. Also the setting/atmosphere was very romantic, but relaxed. Great for a date night. The Mr. Hendrick's cocktail was delightful as well as the bouche amuse with pear and duck liver pate. I would absolutely dine there again and have already signed up for another experience with TRULY.
