I've been waiting a while to try Branca. Who doesn't like Argentine BBQ? I left impressed.
The restaurant is cozy inside. Your butt will rub on someone else's table when squeezing in and out. The cocktails were nice. Pisco sour is authentic. I had a tequila based one which was a tad on the limey side for me. Mind you, I like cocktails that have more of a bite.
Center stage was the BBQ. Started off the the sweet breads and Argentinian shrimp - delicious. The sweet breads almost tastes like popcorn chicken. You would not know you're eating the less desirable organs.
For meat we went with the rack of lamb and beef short rib. They were both amazing. Ridiculously flavourful and even better with the chimichurri. The poblano remesco sauce is a great 2nd option. In hindsight, I probably would have went with the skirt steak instead of the lamb, which was about half the price, but looked great on the table beside me. The roasted cremini was also a great choice for a side. My only small complaint is that the price was a little steep for the amount of meat you're getting. Other than that, this is a great change from all the southern BBQ hype in the past few years.
