Book Awasi Iguazu for a polished Argentinian-cuisine meal in Puerto Iguazú, especially if the occasion matters more than casual value hunting. The 2026 Relais Chateaux Award is the clearest trust signal; choose it for a composed celebration dinner, not for bar seating or a quick group fallback.
About Awasi Iguazu
Puerto Iguazu is a destination where some meals are chosen for convenience and others are chosen because the restaurant itself matters. Awasi Iguazu is an Argentinian-cuisine option in Puerto Iguazu, with Andrea Calstier named as chef and a smart casual dress code. Where specific public details are not verified, such as menu format, prices, seating style, or signature dishes, it is better to plan around the confirmed basics rather than assume a particular format.
The kitchen is led by Andrea Calstier and the cuisine is Argentinian, giving the restaurant a clear culinary identity. The reason to choose it is not a named signature dish, counter format, or published menu structure, since those details are not confirmed here. The safer expectation is an Argentinian meal in Puerto Iguazu.
Choose it for a confirmed Argentinian-cuisine restaurant in Puerto Iguazu
This is a fit when the priority is Argentinian cuisine, a smart casual dress code, a restaurant with confirmed recognition. The Relais Chateaux Award in 2026 is the clearest verified recognition here. That recognition does not answer every practical question, so confirm current booking details, menu availability, any special requests directly with the venue before relying on them.
For planning, pair it with the wider destination rather than treating it as a stand-alone restaurant hunt. Start with broader Puerto Iguazu dining research if the goal is to compare options, use our full Puerto Iguazu hotels guide if the meal is tied to where to stay. Travelers building a fuller itinerary can also check other Puerto Iguazu planning resources.
Go when the trip needs an Argentinian meal with verified basics
The strongest case for Awasi Iguazu is direct: it is a Puerto Iguazu restaurant serving Argentinian cuisine, led by Andrea Calstier, with a confirmed 2026 Relais Chateaux Award. Those facts make it easier to consider when you want a restaurant choice anchored in verified information. Beyond that, avoid assuming details that are not verified, including specific dishes, prices, beverage programs, seating formats, or service structure.
Skip it if the group needs a guaranteed casual format, a published signature dish to plan around, or a specific seating arrangement that has not been confirmed. Those diners may prefer to compare other options, such as Alo's, Califa, Chichilo's, Hermanos, or Roll & Roll - Sushi, woks, tacos, burgers, wraps y +. But for diners looking specifically for Argentinian cuisine in Puerto Iguazu, Awasi Iguazu is a credible option to consider when smart casual dress is part of the plan.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Awasi Iguazu presents a lodge-scale, nature-first hospitality where the Atlantic Forest defines the experience. Guests arrive along a reserve road under canopy, with the distant sound of water underscoring a serene, scenic atmosphere. The property forgoes urban trappings for context-driven comfort: limited keys, curated outings into Selva Yryapú, and meals that respond to the surrounding ecosystem. The tone is quietly luxurious rather than showy, favoring thoughtful design and regional craft over theatrics. Travelers who appreciate immersive, low-impact stays in biodiverse settings find the lodge’s restrained sophistication and close relationship with the jungle especially appealing.
Best For
This lodge is best for travelers seeking an intimate, nature-focused getaway centered on access to Iguazu Falls and the surrounding reserve. It suits couples on special or romantic trips, food-minded travelers who value regional interpretation, and guests who prefer small-scale, all-inclusive programming with private guides. The limited-key format makes it less suited to large, boisterous groups and more appropriate for those who prioritize curated excursions, privacy, and a slow itinerary that alternates guided adventures with attentive on-site hospitality.
Ordering Tips
Embrace the property’s focus on regional cuisine and program your dining around the guided excursions included in the stay. The kitchen sources ingredients from the surrounding environment and works within northeastern Argentine traditions, so ask staff to highlight dishes that reflect Guaraní-influenced, subtropical flavors. Because the experience is built around curated hours away from the falls, coordinate meal times with guide activities to make the most of both. Notify the lodge of any dietary needs in advance so the small-scale kitchen can tailor menus; expect sit-down, chef-led service rather than à la carte fast food.

Recognition and awards
Restaurant context
Awasi Iguazu is the splurge-leaning choice in this set: choose it when the meal needs to carry a celebration and the appeal is a more composed Argentinian-cuisine experience. Roll & Roll - Sushi, woks, tacos, burgers, wraps y + reads as the more flexible option for mixed tastes, especially if the group wants sushi, woks, tacos, burgers, or wraps instead of committing to one culinary direction.
Califa, Chichilo's, Hermanos make more sense when the priority is a simpler, lower-pressure booking decision. Pick those over Awasi Iguazu for a casual night, a less structured group meal, or when value matters more than occasion polish.
Alo's is the cross-shop for diners who want an alternative with a restaurant-first feel but do not need the same destination-dining signal. For the highest-confidence special occasion, Awasi Iguazu is the stronger call; for broader group utility and easier compromise, the peers are safer.
