Take your pick from the three-course dinner set ($1,788 for two), which comes complete with MONO’s signature freshly-baked quinoa sourdough, traditional dulce de leche Argentinian cookies and a bottle of sparkling wine, or for something lighter, the aperitif set ($788), featuring the aforementioned empanadas.
