The not-to-be-missed asado – the traditional Argentinian barbecue – is prepared according to time-honored custom using the delicious meats produced by the Don André Estancia, another family property on the Argentinian territory. To best accompany your lunch or dinner at the La Table restaurant, the wine list features the best crus of Argentina, and in particular, those of the Salta Province, compromising a great number of the bottles kept in the restaurant cellar. Each morning, La Table of House of Jasmines welcomes you to breakfast with a buffet of products, most of which are home-made, beginning with the delicious, well-known dulce de leche
