Taste
Misiones.
One table only. Just 10 seats available each night.
We are Saúl Lencina and Ángeles De Muro. At Poytava, a private restaurant, we invite you to taste the region: an experience shaped by the biodiversity of Misiones.
Since 2011, we have explored the forest, the river and the farms to discover and celebrate more than 120 wild food products: mushrooms, native fruits, herbs, river fish and seasonal produce.
We do not cook a recipe. We cook a territory. Real, honest and wild food for an experience that begins on the palate and lingers in memory. Each menu changes with the season and what nature offers at that moment.
“Our cuisine speaks to emotional memory.”Saúl Lencina · La Nación
A different kind of experience
From the first bite
to the final story.

One table
An intimate setting to eat without rushing, hear every story and experience the kitchen up close.
03
A Misionera identity
Flavours of the forest, the farm and the river, with Guaraní roots and a contemporary outlook.
Every night is unique.
The menu changes with the season and what nature offers at that moment. Mushrooms, native fruits, herbs, river fish, cassava and farm produce appear in a journey that is never exactly the same twice.
After more than 15 years of research across the forest, river and farms, we work to celebrate more than 120 wild ingredients.
The experience is confirmed with an advance reservation. All menus include house water.
Research and territory
Learn to
share.
Since 2011, we have researched the food biodiversity of Misiones. We explore the forest, the river and the farms to identify, document and celebrate more than 120 wild food products.
But our research goes beyond using this richness in the restaurant. We also share what we learn with society: in Mbya Guaraní communities, public schools across the province, and through workshops, talks and training sessions.
We believe that research is also a way of caring. And that a cuisine with identity can open conversations about territory, food, culture and the future.
