Animal Restaurant

What locals are saying about Animal Restaurant

The tuna tataki and the steak are the real high points — one visitor called it the best steak of their life — and the entire menu happens to be gluten-free, something a lot of guests only realize once they're already there. The passion fruit and gooseberry cheesecake is the way to close out the night.

Modern but relaxed, with a garden and bar area, run by two Argentinian owners who get personally involved in menu recommendations — plus a resident dog that adds to the easygoing feel. One of the better tables in Playa Hermosa for a dinner that feels like an occasion.
