Stunning all around..! per other reviews the service was incredibly warm, welcoming, professional. The space itself is very unique and although bar seating efforts were made to seat parties of 3-4+ at corners or across from each other to promote interaction. The room manages to achieve both a sense of loft and spaciousness, while feeling cozy and intimate—loved all the plants and greenery. Each dish was impressive, and because we shared everything spoons and forks were clinking as we each kept greedily reaching for more. With many dining experiences it’s rare to have more than 1-2 dishes that are truly impressive, memorable, or flavorful; not so with MARTi. Here we couldn’t get enough of each dish, and had a multitude of favorites.
Wine program also excellent with sommelier who made exquisite pairing even with the bread and butter course so much so that the bread service really held its own as a focal point of the meal—very impressive! *BEST brioche of my life*
In a meat-obsessed city like BA, you know a vegetarian restaurant that distinguishes itself has to be something special. MARTi does not disappoint 💜

The prix fixe was totally worth it. Amazing space. Amazing service. Amazing food.

The staff was SO friendly and SO thoughtful. They really tried to cater to our experience based on the few cues they perceived from us.

10/10 will not disappoint.

What a lovely evening. The staff was super friendly. It's an open kitchen, and you can witness one of the best Chefs in Argentina, German, leading the team, plating, welcoming the guests.

I'm surprised by the culinary experience. We took the 8 steps degustation menu. The cheese souffle, the humita and the ceviche were my personal favorites. Each wine fits the flavours so smoothly. Great job.

What surprises me the most is that I have the stigma for vegetarian restaurants, like a classic Argentinian that's a meat lover. I would strongly recommend every meat lover to try this place. I think that the vegetarian tag is not as fair as the  signature food tag.

Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Marti – Disappointing Experience Without the Chef

From the moment we arrived, the staff seemed unmotivated and lacked the passion one would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. There was a sense of disorganization, as though leadership was missing, and the team was just going through the motions. This lack of energy set the tone for the evening and extended to the food, which felt overly prepped and uninspired, with no creativity or finesse on display.

The absence of Chef German, who was on vacation, seemed to further impact the overall experience. From the start, there was confusion with the menu. We were eager to try the 8-course menu but were strongly encouraged to opt for the 4-course menu instead. This felt strange, almost as if the kitchen staff preferred to take the easier route that evening.

The bread options were the highlight of the meal, offering a great variety and setting high expectations for what was to come. Unfortunately, the main dishes and desserts did not live up to this promise.

For the mains, we trusted the waiter’s recommendation and selected the mushroom shawarma for two, a dish we had seen featured on both the Michelin Guide website and the restaurant’s Instagram as a beautifully layered, grilled shawarma-style creation made entirely of mushrooms. What arrived, however, was far from that—simple pan-fried mushroom pieces served with pita bread for stuffing, lacking any shawarma-like spices or complexity. It was extremely underwhelming. The ricotta gnocchi with spring greens was another main dish we tried, but it was disappointingly bland and lacked any memorable flavor.

Among the other courses, the humita with cumin meringue was overly sweet, missing the balance needed to make it enjoyable. On the positive side, the roasted watermelon with goat cheese was the best dish of the evening. The strawberry juice elevated the flavors, balancing the sweetness of the watermelon with the tanginess of the goat cheese and creating a genuinely enjoyable and well-thought-out dish.

While the restaurant boasts a stylish and modern interior, the atmosphere and food did not match its aesthetic. Perhaps the experience would have been different with Chef German present, but based on our visit, we cannot recommend Marti for those seeking a memorable culinary experience
