Marti, conceived by the acclaimed Chef Germán Martitegui, who is renowned for his previous establishment Tegui and his role on MasterChef Argentina, was a pioneering vegetarian fine-dining restaurant in Buenos Aires. It sought to redefine culinary boundaries by offering high-quality, innovative cuisine exclusively from plant-based ingredients, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and local Argentine produce.
Beyond its inventive menu, Marti was celebrated for its distinctive ambiance. Embodying a sophisticated speakeasy charm, the restaurant was discreetly located behind an unmarked door, requiring guests to ring a bell for entry. Inside, a chic glass-enclosed dining room, adorned with lush greenery, enveloped a central open kitchen. This design immersed diners in the culinary process, creating an engaging and unique sensory experience, further enhanced by its visible 'hongario'—a glass-fronted cellar where the restaurant cultivated its own mushrooms.
