“Excellent restaurant, well worth a visit!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2011

Excellent restaurant with a charming and cozy atmosphere. Perfect for a date or a special meal with friends or family. I eat here regularly and especially enjoy the five cheese pizza and the fettuccine Babel. They have a nice wine list, the service is attentive and incredibly friendly, and it's a delight to eat here whether on sunny days when you can snag an outdoor table or on rainy days when you can enjoy the dimly lit warm ambiance. Oh, and try the tiramisu! It's amazing!!

“Al Ojo del Amo”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

Small place attended by the owner, it shows that he cares for details. I visit this place a year ago and he remember my name and my profession, so that was impresive. The menu is simple but it has great mix of argentinian and international flavors. He gave us great recomendations about wine.

This place will be my example to follow when I retire, tiny little great place to eat!!!!

“Great food and atmosphere”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011

Great food, great service, very nice place to sit in!
The house wine tastes very good and the price is fine.
The prices of the food are a bit expensive compering with other restaurants in the area, but defiantly worth it!

“Great experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2011

I went to Babel on a recent trip to Mexico and thought the restaurant was charming. I ate on the street to enjoy the weather. The food was excellent. I had ravioli with truffle sauce and white chocolate mousse with basil for dessert. I found the flavor and combinations of food to be original and delicious. The most amazing part was that the owner came to the table and talked about the food. It was wonderful to have such unique dishes served with such entusiasm and passion.
