[CLOSED] This Tiny Argentinian Restaurant is a Hidden Gem in Taipei
***This restaurant has permanently closed***
Its small entrance makes it easy to miss, but pay attention next time you’re wandering through the alleys next to Da’an station. Ba&Ba is a cozy restaurant serving 6 fixed courses straight from Buenos Aires. And they’re delicious.
You need to book a reservation well in advance (at least a week) because space is so tight, but trust us when we say this food is worth it.
The entire restaurant seats only about 8 people. We were the only party when we went with a group of that size on a Saturday evening in January.
There’s no menu at Ba&Ba. The owners plan 6 unique courses in advance and cook them in the small kitchen at the back of the restaurant. A lack of choice makes it easy, and you’ll probably enjoy a completely different meal each time you go.
Check out the 6 courses we ate on our particular visit:
Each of these dishes impressed us with their flavours – even the simple ones were satisfying, and the fourth course was especially heavenly.
After struggling to finish our desserts (not that they weren’t delicious – we were stuffed) we unanimously agreed that NT$600 was absolutely worth paying for this Argentinian feast. We felt at home in the cozy space, eating comfort food cooked with care.
What’s the vibe?
Tiny restaurant that sits a single party. The owners prepare each course 1-by-1 in a small kitchen in the back. Home-cooked food makes the intimate setting even cosier.
Worth it?
Yes.
Considering the amount and quality of food, NT$600 is very reasonable. The dishes were all hits and we were so full by the end we could barely finish our dessert.
Would you go back?
Yes.
We’re working on getting a group together now.
