Review Summary

Espace Amalgame is generally regarded as a charming, artsy destination that offers a unique atmosphere for coffee, drinks, and Argentine cuisine, particularly for fans of Mafalda. Visitors frequently praise the delicious empanadas and quality beverages, noting the venue is well-suited for both casual visits and private events. While many guests enjoy the friendly and welcoming service, some reports mention inconsistencies regarding staff attentiveness, organization during busy periods, and the accuracy of food orders. Despite mixed feedback on service speed and pricing, the space remains a popular spot for those seeking a cultural experience, a place to study, or a warm setting to enjoy art and refreshments.

Soir de match (COUPE DU MONDE) Argentine-Cap vert.

Service déplorable. Nous arrivons 1h avant le début du match & passons une commande 20 minutes avant le match. Nous nous faisons servir a la 40eme minute du match, soit 1h pour une pinte & une bouteille de vin.
Une caisse seulement pour encaisser & une équipe totalement désorganisée avec une méthode déplorable pour servir rapidement. Il y a sincèrement besoin de s'organiswr lors de forte influence.

& je ne parle pas des prix exorbitants pratiquer. Un choripan a 14$ (sans taxes) 🤣

Le prochain match j'irais le voir ailleurs !

This establishment undersells its main attraction: it's actually a full fledged microbrewery offering up 5 light but tasty brews & a selection of 7 empanadas: the beef & special amalgam our favourites. All were good & uniquely flavored. Service is leisurely but extremely friendly. Owner & staff will explain everything.

Tasty beer & empanadas with interesting Mafalda merchandising.

The restaurant is spacious & charming, especially if you're a Mafalda fan. However, the service felt distant; we had to figure things out ourselves rather than being greeted & guided by the staff. The food was good overall, but we had an issue when asked for empanadas without paprika & were told they didn't contain any, but they still arrived with paprika. It's a beautiful place, unfortunately, we didn't feel particularly welcomed.

Es un sitio en potencia. Creo que podría tener un ambiente con mejor música, más productos, pero principalmente, con mejor atención. Si no fuera por el dueno, la experiencia no se hubiera sentido medianamente agradable. No me gustan los espacios donde la atención no invita a quedarse y donde los productos, como por ejemplo las empanadas, no se acompanan por una salsa, un ají, o al menos un limón. Pero más que la ausencia del acompanante, es esta sensación de que no se quiere ofrecer el mejor servicio posible. Por eso, aunque las empanadas, y la empanada amalgame, hayan sido muy ricas no logran dejar una sensación de satisfacción completa. No supimos la programación de los eventos, ni tampoco tomamos cervezas frías, porque las pintas estaban al clima.

Really nice cafe to connect with Argentine culture. Great for Mafalda fans as they have an official Quino statue of her, 1/20 in the world.

Just stopped by for a latte which I loved. I was also given a small glass of soda & a tiny cookie. I was told this is typical of argentin cafes. The layout was cosy & there was a great display of art work. They cafe also has outdoor seating.
