Casa Saltshaker

We were lucky enough to go to Argentina while our very dear friends were living there.  Not only did they know the best places to go visit and eat, they babysat for us while we did it.  Whoohoooo!  One of their recommendations was a closed- door restaurant called Casa Saltshaker.  I had never heard of something like this before and really wanted to try it out.  Apparently closed-door restaurants are literally restaurants that are closed to the public unless you get an invitation or make a reservation by hearing about it through a friend.  The one we attended was held at a chef's home in Buenos Aires.

Casa Saltshaker was like attending a dinner party with a bunch of people you don't know and eating seriously good food.  Sounds intimidating at first, but everyone there was really interesting and fun.  My husband and I had a blast.  The menu that evening was inspired by Moroccan Independence Day.  Each course was paired with FABULOUS wine so I can not remember exactly everything we ate so I posted the menu below.  On the website there is a link for the recipes too.  YUM!

I am also linking a video which explains more about the concept of secret restaurants and it features our chef.
