San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina is the sister city of Aspen, Colorado. Located 3 hours south of Buenos Aires, it is South America’s prime playground for skiing, sunning on the beach, hiking, boating and fly-fishing. It was also Butch Cassidy’s secret hideaway back in the early days when they were running from the West.

We just love the place for its simple food and kind people. We’ve been in and out of Chef Francis Mallmann’s hometown for the last 13 years. It continues to inspire us.
