Lonely Planet "This bright Parisian-style brasserie is a lively spot for Sunday brunch or a leisurely evening meal." Full review
BlackBook "Popular tourist alternative to parilla located close to the Sunday market in San Telmo. Ideal spot for aspiring tango dancers and those looking to bed them."
DK Eyewitness "At this French-owned brasserie, the cuisine is straight off a Paris boulevard, the ambi- ence fabulous, and the menu is painted onto antique mirrors."
Time Out "There are few places as delightful to spend a long lunch in San Telmo as Petanque, an honest-to-goodness French brasserie with a marvellously light and airy atmosphere." Full review
Rough Guide "Classic French food such as boeuf bourguignon, moules, steak tartare and crème brûlée, with a particularly good value lunch-time menu du jour; at times, slightly uppity classic French service to match."
Fodor's "Petanque is a place to drop in, enjoy hearty French fare, and wash it all down with local wines." Full review

Rough Guide Star
"A small, good-value, family-run joint whose huge portions and fresh-from-the-market meals mean it’s always full."
Fodor's "When famed "anti-chef" Leandro Cristóbal decided to return to his roots, he dropped his trademark modern cuisine in favor of huge platters of rustic traditional dishes." Full review
Frommer's "Main courses include Spanish seafood dishes, Italian pastas, and lots of beef. The kitchen is in the hands of smart, tattooed skateboarder-types. It’s not a relaxing place, but it’s very cool." Full review
