I will never return to Animalon after tasting their food. Yes, indeed, the ambiance and service are very good, but the quality of the food was beyond mediocre for the price we paid. We were 4 people and ordered their 9 course paired with wines. We walked out with a 1350 USD bill and a huge disappointment. It seems that it went so well for the Animalon that they started not caring about the taste and integrity of the food. Compared to the quality of any premium restaurant, they performed very poorly. If you are a foodie who understands what quality is, stay away. Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

If you are looking for great food and great ambience, look no more. We went with the wrong assumption that most of their portions are small and ordered most of the menu 😂. Thanks to the waiter for stopping us and telling us we were ordering way too much for 4 people 😁 Dishes were creative and beautifully decorated with some homie feel into it. Service was great and friendly. It’s not cheap, but for the price you get fabulous food. Don’t forget to order the cream of mushroom truffle soup. I’m not a soup guy, but this was the best soup I’ve ever had. Amazing!! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $1,000+ Recommended dishes Wagyu

This is our second time here. Dinner was not under the tree due to the colder weather, which was a bit disappointing. The food and service were still excellent, as expected. My only complaint is that the food does come out fast and you are done with the five courses in about one hour. We love the Valle, and this has become one of our favorite places to eat.

This place became one of my favorite restaurants in the world. What a beautiful and amazing place. Sebastian was extremely professional, together with his other teammate whom he recruited. The food was amazing! EVERYTHING was DELICIOUS!! I just think of the day I’ll be back!! It is a MUST if you are around!! You are welcomed!!

BEST CULINARY EXPERIENCE IN VALLE! The tasting menus with wine parings are absolutely amazing. We have been to Animalón several times and it never disappoints. On the contrary, it is the highlight of our trip. Can't wait to visit again!!! Suggestion: Because seating is outdoors under a beautiful tree, wear warm clothing. The staff does an amazing job of providing blankets for every guest and small space heaters but, it’s not enough. Jackets and boots everyone! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $200–300

Hip vibe, wonderful staff and good food but wasn’t wowed. Tuna tartare was very tasty! Disappointed to find out that the famous outdoor dining experience under a huge tree is only available in the summer. Ordered the 5 course meal and they were very accommodating to my shellfish allergy. Negatives were: - We booked several weeks in advance and weren’t able to get a later reservation in the day and the place was DEAD! - Risotto was undercooked and hard - Ribeye was chewy - Dessert was unimpressive and looked and tasted like something I could buy at a store

Wow, my husband and I had dinner here last night and were blown away! we did the 8 course and we said, “no way we’re going to get full with these small dishes” wrong, we finished stuffed, took it slow to enjoy every single dish. flavors and creativity was top notch, service is outstanding from EVERY single person working here, only dish we didn’t love was the chicken, we didn’t do the wine pairing but just had beer and mixology that was great. we ended up being there over three hours and we were treated to tequila shots and limes sprinkled with ants to end our feast! loved every single thing, sitting under the immense beautiful setting of the tree surrounded by vineyards. This is an experience that should be had!

I was there with a big group of 12. We reserved before, and choose the dinner with around 8 dishes. I personally love the atmosphere of the place, being inside a three between the grape fields it’s amazing. Looking at the sunset i fall in love. Absolutely recommend to visit this place. The price was $2000 pesos per person, but we included some wine and coffee, etc. The food was stunning just the perfect amount.

Let's start off with the bad because it's a major one. Be prepared for the price, we paid $600 USD for our meals and wine pairing of 4 people. I don't mind paying a higher price but I do think this is a bit high for the amount of food we received, I was honestly shocked when the bill came. Now the good part, food was delicious and the wine was very good, they were just very small portions. The outdoor dining under a tree is a beautiful environment and service was great. We ended up going to get tacos after this meal.

Hands down one of the greatest dining experiences of my life. The setting is magical - an intimate open air dining area nestled under an old oak tree. We had the five course option. And each plate was better than the last. The waiters were masters of their craft, guiding you along the dining experience. The food was so good I couldn’t resist walking to the kitchen to thanks the chefs.
