Club Tapiz
Almost all rooms in Mendoza were booked at this time because it is both harvest time and also the time of a play off soccer match between two passionate Buenos Aires teams.
The restaurant is small and has limited choices. If you stay for a few days, your choices don't vary. Earline being a Vegetarian, found not many choices that suited her. You are charged for water at the restaurant. Wine choices are very good. The breakfasts are very good and included with your stay at no extra cost. Tips are not included.
The Club Tapiz is located in an area where there is nothing within easy walking distance. If you want to go to another restaurant, you will need to call a taxi.
