Aqva Restaurante Iguazú

"7 PM - Highly recommend this restaurant! The menu has a great variety of local specialties. We ordered 2 appetizers: the antipasti of local specialties and the melted cheese. The antipasti of local specialties included cassava, avocado, surubí croquette, reviro, chipa guazu, and sopa paraguaya. This dish was so unique!! My fave was one of the corn pies (it was cheesy) and the croquette. This dish is quite heavy on the starch, so it is very filling. The melted cheese was spectacular. It was piping hot and savory, and I loved the hint of tomato taste. For my entree, I got the tropical surubí. The fish was mostly flaky and tender, and had some nice crispy parts. A few bites were too salty, but it was overall very enjoyable. My bf got the gnocchi with the shrimp sauce. It was solid. For dessert, I got the chocolate specialty dessert, which consisted of white chocolate mousse over a brownie. I didn’t particularly enjoy it. The mousse didn’t have the texture of mousse - it was too gelatin-like. The brownie also wasn’t as fudgy or chocolatey as I like. My bf got the passion fruit mousse, and he loved it. To end the evening, they gave us some limoncello"

"Excellent regional and signature cuisine. High level wines and excellent wineries. They are specialists in using local products for haute cuisine. Recommendation: As a starter, surubí croquettes or smoked salmon. For the main course, the river trilogy, made up of dorado, pacú and surubí or tropical surubí, accompanied by mushroom or nut sauce."
