Doppel is known for cocktails and atmosphere rather than food. But it seemed easy enough to get some (expensive) foods to accompany the drinks. After perusing a long cocktail list, the waiter asked what sort of drinks we liked. In the end there was one sour and one sweeter, of which a few ingredients were revealed at the time, and now I realise them all after looking at the receipt, menu and online.
- Humpty Dumpty master cocktail (cognac, Hendricks, chartreuse, sambuca, lemon, prosecco, ristretto) ARS165
- Isidoro Canones (Zubrowka vodka, brandy, contreau, St. Germain elderflower, lime, mango, pomelo) ARS165
The drinks were nice, fruit and refreshing and it would have been great to find a spot at the bar to see the action and chat to some neighbours.
- Calamares salteados al ajillo con papas doradas ARS165 - nicely seasoned calamari with garlic in a sauce, not deepfried like I expected;
- Langoustine wantons (marinated in ginger & spices) ARS195 - not wontons but prawns coated in a thin fried shell.
