Tanta, Peruvian restaurant in Retiro, Argentina
Tanta is a Peruvian restaurant in Retiro with a massive dining room whose ceiling rises three stories high. The space is defined by palm trees, sleek wall paneling, and fabric decorations that create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Renowned Peruvian chef Gaston Acurio opened the restaurant in early 2018 in Buenos Aires. This opening followed successful locations in Lima, Santiago, and Chicago, marking his first venture in Argentina.
The name comes from Quechua and means "enough", referencing the abundant portions of Peruvian cuisine. Diners sit among palm trees while experiencing a blend of traditional dishes and local Argentine variations that show how the restaurant adapted to its new location.
The restaurant is located at Esmeralda 938 and serves lunch and dinner from noon until midnight Monday through Thursday, extending until 12:30 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. The central location in Retiro is easy to reach on foot and the venue offers spacious seating for groups of any size.
The dessert menu was created by acclaimed pastry chef Astrid Gutsch, who prepares specialties like Suspiro Limeño and tres leches using imported ingredients. These sweets follow Peruvian tradition and provide a memorable finish to any meal.
