The Arrels experience

Our roots.

Signature Argentine cooking, in the heart of the Pyrenees. A cuisine that draws on our roots, combines selected Argentine produce with local ingredients, and finds its way of expressing itself through fire.

Today, Arrels is Bruno, Rodrigo and Valeria. Three people, three ways of contributing to the same project: kitchen, fire and dining room.

We're still behind every service, growing with our own hands the restaurant we once imagined in the Pyrenees.
