Malbec offers candlelit tables, some spilling onto the sidewalk beneath a broad green awning, while its boldly colored walls are lined with artsy photography. Begin with empanadas or a chorizo and morcilla skewer with white bean salad, before moving on to a selection of meat and pasta dishes. Gnocchi is served with Argentinean stew and a hearty porcini sauce, while a skirt steak benefits from the ubiquitous chimichurri. A salmoriglio (lemon, garlic, olive oil and oregano) sauce is applied to grilled salmon, and the New York steak is served with a Malbec reduction. For dessert, consider a particularly rich flan, sponge cake layered with chocolate mousse, or crêpes with apples and dulce de leche. As one might expect, it’s easy to find a respectable yet very affordable Malbec among the selection of Argentinean wines at this cozy little spot. Because of its reasonable prices and friendly service, there is often a line outside the front door, so reservations are essential. Also located at 10151 Riverside Dr., Toluca Lake, 818-762-4860.
