We'd heard that argentinian steak was good, but with a south africa husband Ocho Cepas had a lot to live up to! It didn't disappoint, our ribeye and sirloin were hands down the best steaks we've had. To add to that, the service was fantastic and the setting classy but relaxed. The waitress was polite, friendly and patient as we... More

What a find this place was. Incredible service and incredible food at a reasonable price. We ordered the parrilla for one and the grilled pear and blue cheese salad which was amazing. The meat here was super fresh and cooked to perfection and the cream cheese bread dip that accompanied a bountiful bread basket was extremely memorable. I recommend this... More

This place is located in a stately building in the middle of Mendoza, and seemed popular with tourists and upper class locals. We had steaks and the pear salad, washed down with reserve malbec (red wine). Amazing! More

This restaurant, in my opinion, has the best steak in Mendoza. It has good prices, nice service and superlative food. This was our favourite restaurant when we were there. I have tasted no steak like their steak... Going there will be the best decision that you have made all week. More

I went at night. The place looked very nice, well designed and with style. The attention is normal, neither good nor bad. My couple and I both asked for the chef's recommendation: "Raviolon de Osobuco" a meat-fillled pasta. The sauce was too strong, it covered the rest of the flavors. Very good selection of wines. The dessert was really tasty. More

We had good food. The special pasta was beautiful and tasty. The trout was boned and the sauce was good. The room needed a better air conditioner. It was quite warm and the lack of a better functioning air conditioner affected our experience. More

Ocho is open from noon to midnight, meaning this is one of the few places to grab food in the late afternoon or early evening. And it’s worth a visit. We ate here twice, and both times had the Bife de Ojo, which is fantastic. One of the best steaks in town. Also, the waitress recommended Andeluna wine, which was... More
