It used to be good. Service was terrible. The smallest plate of pickled vegetable ( it was 4 pieces and 2 of them were jalapeños slices)was $30 in comparison, the pastrami was $40. It doesn't even make sense. Really disappointed. I ordered an appetizer that they kept saying was coming and never showed up. Not worth it. Not sure how they have a Michelin star. So many other wonderful restaurants in BA to enjoy! For example, Sarkis is the best.

I booked a table at Mishiguene weeks ago for my 40th birthday. When booking the reservation I made note that my group, a party of 6, wanted to do the chef's table and tasting menu. After booking, I followed up with the restaurant via WhatsApp to ensure they had received the request for the chef's tasting menu along with a couple of dietary restrictions I had made note of. I was assured everything was in the reservation. When we arrived we were seated in the dining room. A member of our party asked about the chef's table/tasting and we were told that it wasn't possible as they hadn't prepared a menu for the evening. After I showed them the WhatsApp conversation, they offered to move us into the kitchen to sit at the chef's table but that they would not be able to execute the tasting menu. We decided to move into the kitchen and order off of the regular menu. We left our water glasses in the dining room assuming that we'd get fresh waters at the chef's table. Instead, they brought our glasses from the dining room - we had to guess which glass was ours! A person in our party asked the waiter about a wine (60-70 dollar range). He said that it wasn't good and then recommended a bottle that was twice as much. It felt dismissive and like an upsell rather than a recommendation. The food was excellent. And, I appreciate that the staff was very well informed on appropriate dish options for those in the party with restrictions. We ordered most everything as we were excited to try it all. The waiter told us it was too much food. Again, it felt dismissive rather than helpful. They did bring out a dessert with a candle in it for my birthday which was very lovely. I wish I could recommend this place as the food really was outstanding. Maybe we caught them on an off night or maybe we had the one bad waiter in the place but I wouldn't go back and I can't recommend it.

The restaurant was recommended by family who had eaten here and advised us on what to order. We knew that the Pastrami on Potato Latkes was a must-have, so we ordered that, along with the verenikes and babaganoush as a starter, to go with the selection of fresh breads and pretzels on the table. While awaiting our food, we enjoyed some very interesting cocktails: we each had a drink, both of which were great - mine was the Lo'ez, which was a fancy gin and tonic with house-made pickle vermouth. This gave us time to enjoy the atmosphere and relax. The lighting is dim in a romantic way, the walls were festooned with photos, magazine covers, and other various items which showcased the unique Jewish history of Buenos Aires. The babaganoush was delicious, but odd. It was a skinned, baked Japanese eggplant gently spiced and so soft you could easily slice and spread it on the breads. I have never seen an eggplant served as a whole fruit but it was fantastic. A rectangular skillet arrived with the big block of pastrami resting on a single, large, dense latke in a dark brown sauce covered in crispy onion strips all topped with a fried egg. As though that was not daunting enough, the verenikes came at the same time. I served us each and we started eating. The pastrami is not like the pastrami I have had at good, kosher delis in NYC or Philly. This was more like a super-tender brisket with incredible flavors. The verenikes were the most melt-in-my-mouth dumplings I have ever had the joy of eating. Unfortunately, I was committed to the pastrami and did my best to devour it. In the end, we finished the dumplings and ate about 2/3 of the meat and potato but had to stop. I am sure that they have great desserts but we just could not eat another bite. Although it isn't customary to do, I did take the leftovers home and made them in to a fantastic omelet the next day.

Yes, this restaurant was featured as part of a Netflix series, but we feel that on the back of that feature in Feed Phil the restaurant has got arrogant (unlike others that we visited and that were featured in the same series). We were there with our family and ordered quite a few items. Be careful, they are minuscule. The baba ganoush for the equivalent of 8 US dollars is barely three tablespoons full, the same goes for the muhammara (roasted pepper and walnut dish at 6 US$). But worst of all is the bored attitude of the waiting staff and the attitude of the chef (owner?). Dishes don't arrive at the same time (the shakshuka came 20 minutes after everything else and only after asking). When the bill came it turned out they had taken the wrong order and instead of labneh sent us labneh with beetroot (which is twice the price). When we pointed this out to the chef he retorted "can you not see what you have eaten" (no we couldn't as we are travelling in another country and are not familiar with the exact look of each dish). There was no apology or "let's get this fixed". Instead we were treated as if we should be grateful to eat in this establishment. So in summary: arrogant, overpriced and miniscule portions.

A must-go! Every time I travel to Buenos Aires I make sure to have a reservation in Mishiguene. Amazing Jewish cuisine with a modern reading. All the food is really tasty and you can either order it a la carte or have the tasting menu. If it's your first time go for the tasting menu!!

The service & bread plate & hummus were good, that's about it. We were excited to try the pastrami on latke with gravy/sauce since many reviewers mention it. It was almost inedible. It was like having a salt bomb explode in your mouth. There was no subtlety or nuanced flavour to this dish whatsoever. Aside from the salt, everything tasted like the gravy. Many reviews say it reminds them of their grandmother's food, we're not Jewish, so maybe this is why we don't get it. We were only looking for a good meal, not a trip down memory lane. We spent four weeks exploring Buenos Aires and his was by far the worst meal we had.

The most terrible experience, it was nothing to do with Jewish Eastern European tradition . Service was unacceptable and Quality of food was very bad . Strongly recommends to exclude this restaurant from your list .

I went here because I found this restaurant on Somebody feed Phil currently on Netflix. We arrived here about 20 minutes prior to opening and the hostess come out to tell us they opened at 7 which was the time of our reservation. We took a walk and came back at opening. We were greeted right away, we were taken to our seats, by the front. I was very happy to be inside because I have been eaten by the mosquitoes on this trip so very badly. Our servers name was Bryan / Brian and he was very kind. I speak a little Spanish, my husband speaks none. He spoke enough English that we got by easy enough. I had gone through tripadvisor and snapped a few pictures of what looked good and I had also written down the entree from the show. My husband and I don’t eat a ton of food, we do not have physically demanding jobs. We started with a Pisco Rose, a martini for my husband and a bottle of still water. Drinks were good but different then we are used to, not bad though, just different. We ordered the gravlax appetizer because of another persons photo and that is just my type of thing. My husband gobbled it up, I did get some though. The dish I wanted was not on the menu and the other pastrami dish they did not have so we had the pastrami with latkes. OMG the person who says this feeds way more then two is right. A huge 2” latke with a huge piece of pastrami on top with onions and a delicious sauce. So unbelievable. We could have shared this with two other people. My husband also had a glass of wine and I had the Betabel Sour which had beet juice in it. It was very good. Oh, by the way you are also given a bread tray with condiments…I don’t normally eat bread but the one bread was so good with the olive oil and if I cannot get this olive oil on Amazon I am checking in my luggage just to have some. It has been 24 hours since we were here and we are still not hungry. We had no dessert…we walked back to our hotel, 30 min away. The staff, the music, the food, the atmosphere were perfect in our opinions. We have no negative comments. I wish the entree had been smaller so we could have tried more things. It was a wonderful time. Also someone mentioned in their review they were reminded they had to be done in 1.5 hours, we were not. Two people, basically 100.00 plus tip for all we had which included four drinks. I would go here again if I had more time but we don’t. Every person who came to our table, even to wipe away crumbs was kind. Excellent.

We had a very nice meal, but based on everything we heard, we were expecting extraordinary (that includes Somebody Feed Phil). Our party of 4 started with smoked trout, gefilte fish, and kibbeh. All were very good, though I thought the portions were small and the gefilte fish was average. We then had the Pastrami with Latkes that was one of the most memorable dishes I've had and 2 orders of Varenykys that were also chintzy portion wise. They too were good but not wow like the pastrami. With just 2 glasses of wine, the bill was $160 which was almost double of the most expensive and great meal we had until then. Service by our main waiter was not good. He did not smile the entire meal...seemed like he had a hemorrhoid problem. The other servers were very nice and smiley. Also had an ordering issue. We wanted to order main courses after we finished the appetizers and the server said that's not how the restaurant works. I'd come back for the Pastrami.

Personally I found Mishiguene to be very underwhelming, some of the food is so fresh, simple, and delicious (like the hummus). Other items, like many of the main dishes, were bland and everything seemed to be a little potato heavy. The bread was very good though, but the service was slow yet friendly. The ambiance is also very nice, but there are much better restaurants in Buenos Aires that I would personally try over Mishiguene (like Elena or Don Julio).

I made the reservation online, based on a recommendation from friends and because it was mentioned in the Michelin guide. I was accompanied by my wife and 2 daughters. When setting the date, weeks ago, there were no specifications regarding the choice of tables inside or outside the restaurant. Recently, I received a reservation confirmation via WhatsApp containing the information that we would have a guaranteed meal from 8:30 pm to 10:30 pm. I don't know if it's my ignorance, but I've NEVER seen a restaurant set a departure time. Anyway…. Let's describe the experience. Arriving at the restaurant, we were informed that the reservation would be in the outside area and not inside (in the inside of Mishiguene, we noticed that it was very pleasant, with the air conditioning working satisfactorily). We asked if the maître d' could allocate us inside, but the answer was: your reservation is for the outside (remember, there is no way to pre-define where to sit when trying to book online). The night was extremely hot (more than 30°C). Our table is on a deck, unstable and noisy. Every time a waiter arrived at our table, plates and glasses shook. It also shook at the end when a garbage truck stopped next to us and stayed parked for almost 5 minutes! The waiters, although friendly and attentive, were poorly proportioned. So, it took a long time. They had a good wine list! I chose a beautiful rose with a blend of grapes. It helped to minimize the exhaustion of the heat. The food, the highlight, was DELICIOUS!!! It was one of the best pastramis I've eaten in my life! My wife and daughters also loved what they ordered. However, as it was so hot outside the restaurant, we were unable to eat everything we ordered. The price, like most of what we ate in Buenos Aires, was not cheap. The restaurant only didn't win as very good or excellent due to the location in which we sat and the terrible experience of being allocated outside the air conditioning and in an extremely hot, noisy, uncomfortable and unpleasant space! I would go back, as long as I sat inside the restaurant, because the Pastrami is unforgettable! I hope they review the flaws!

We were lucky to get reservations for an early seating (perfect for tired travelers!) on short notice. The only problem was that the portions are so huge that we ended up with way too much food. No options for doggy bags, we had an early flight the next day (and I don't know if they would accommodate that request anyway). I hope our uneaten food found a happy dog somewhere. Anyway, we loved what we were served and just wish we could have ordered less and consumed more. But we loved the music (chosen by the owner, I was told) so had a great time relaxing and enjoying the experience.

The atmosphere was fun, the food absolutely amazing. It’s not your mother’s Jewish kitchen, it’s modern and inventive! We had the pastrami and latkes, which they said was enough for 2 or 3 people. 4 of us shared the pastrami and this plus the appetizer was more than enough for 4 of us. One of us had the cuttlefish (squid), which was a little salty if you ate the breadcrumbs, which were on the side. I would highly recommend Mishigeune to anyone!

Pastrami is worth the hype. The service was oddly rude - was literally mid conversation with friends when the waiter "jokingly" said shut up to me so he could name the dishes he was dropping off ... not sure how that's funny or appropriate in any sense. I love Israeli food so wanted to give this 5/5 but all of the staff was stuffy & our waiter was outright rude.
