La Querencia Leith Walk

“Went here with family and friends. The service was nice and everyone was friendly, and the environment is pleasant (though be aware that space is a bit tight to move around). We ordered the empanadas, sausages, and potatoes, followed by a large platter of steak. Honestly, the steak was a bit disappointing as it wasn’t seasoned. The chimichurri, which Argentina is famous for (correct me if I’m wrong), was also not quite right. That said, we enjoyed the experience and culture.”

“We were welcomed in on a busy Friday night with no reservations and very pleased with the food! A bottle of red was easily demolished between the two of us and the empanadas and steak of the day were excellent, some could have done with a little more cooking as the pastry was quite doughy but the flavours were 👌 Would definitely come back and recommend to any steak fans looking for a modest and relaxed night out or a date night? 🌙”

“Really enjoyed this little Argentinian gem in Edinburgh! The service was fantastic, with our waitress checking how I was with spicy food before she put my order through as I had inadvertently ordered something seriously HOT! Thankfully this gave me chance to change my order as I would not have managed! It was evident that it really mattered to restaurant that was had a good time and enjoyed our meal 😌 The restraunt is small but packed with atmosphere and Argentinian theme throughout. The menu isn't massive so we didn't spend all night deciding what to have. We had 3 empanadas for starters, all three flavours we tried were LUSH. And then we each had cutlets. I had the Napolitana which is a big breaded chicken cutlet with cheese and tomato topping, my partner had the Maridona which was breaded steak, ham tomato and cheese 😍 The food came with a side salad and some delicious patas bravas, the meat was soo rich and filling we couldn't finish it all! Too stuffed for dessert (which isnt like me at all!), but their daily special, layer cake on the counter looked very nice 😍 Thanks for a great meal x”
