Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Cazuela. I ordered it with Cristal lager and the fresh from the sea elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. shellfish from Patagonia in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Cultural discovery through Cazuela
Cazuela opened a door into a cuisine I'd previously known almost nothing about. The subtly sweet with mote flavours are unlike anything in my usual rotation and I mean that positively.

Honest verdict on Cazuela — good but not exceptional
Cazuela here was solidly made — fresh from the sea without anything to complain about. merkén smoked chilli was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Restaurant review — Cazuela that actually delivered
