De Salentein
Argentina and Uruguay are the main sources of inspiration for the elegant De Salentein. Not only does the menu feature the traditional cuisines of those countries, with dishes such as chimichurri and empanadas, but the restaurant even raises its own beef cattle and has its own winery in Argentina. Led by chef Rik Jansma, the kitchen team elevates robust South American flavours with a touch of sophistication. The distinctive aromas of a sea bass ceviche, for instance, are enhanced with a leche del tigre vinaigrette. Cooked to perfection over flames, the picanha is paired with a rich brown sauce
TripAdvisor review sample · 3.6/5 · 80 reviews
De Salentein offers modern Argentine cuisine with polarizing reviews on food quality. While many praise the tender meats, desserts, and friendly service, others criticize small portions, stale bread, and lack of originality. The estate's wines are generally well-received, though some find the value questionable given the expectations. Ambiance is described as cozy, particularly during holidays, but service consistency varies. Diners seeking high-quality meat and wine may enjoy the experience, while those expecting refined, consistent multi-course meals might find the execution lacking in both quantity and creativity.
Suitable for diners who enjoy Argentine meat and winery wines and are less concerned with service consistency.
