Had lunch at Jangada yesterday with a couple of ex-pats and we had the Pacu. My first time for both the restuarant and Pacu. Impressed with both. As has been said, you get a lot of fish. There were three of us and we couldn't quite finish it off - Although we did manage to finish off the two bottles of wine we complimented the fish with.

Clearly the restuarant is popular with the local business community as it was packed all lunch time.

Just a passing comment on the criticism of food from varying countries. Coming from Ireland we are not often complimented on our cuisine, although that is improving, so I am teh last one to throw brick-bats. Having travelled extensively in the US, it is fair to say that there is an awful lot of bland, processed, fat-filling junk, but, I have had some fantastic food in restuarants in NYC, Vegas and California, so it does depend on where you go - generalism's are always dangerous.

I would concur that on the whole, the Argentine palate prefers salt rather than spice, and many restaurants naturally cater for their home market. As in Ireland, the US, anywhere really, there are good and bad. Most of what I have eaten here so far has been OK - And the Pacu was delightful, I will try out some of the other recommendations over time...
