Rara Avis is located in the cellar floor of the Solis Theatre, and with its open view kitchen, attracts mostly business men at noon and high end public at dinner time. Great menu, good service, nice place.

chosen by my boss as the best place I selected for her visits... ideal for Business lunches... good meal and good wine selection... Beside the great Solis Theater... Not the best place for dinner due to the surroundings...

Rara Avis features 3 different floors with different meal experiences: a bar downstairs (their lnch menu is great); a luxury restaurant on the grond floor and an Italian semi-luxury restaurant in the first floor.
Food quality is great and service deserves no negative critics. It is not a cheap restaurant, but expending some dollars in this experience is worth-while. I...

From empanadas, to salads, to steaks (or pasta) and desserts, the restaurant competently handled our group's needs (29 of us). The only sore point was that, although promised by our tour leader, the waiters served the steaks without asking 'rare,...

Nice setting, next to the Solis, well dressed tables, decent service, and an undeniable effort made to serve fine dishes. Definitely a place to get an excellent meal. One can regret the constant noisiness of the place (I had lunch in the lower floor), but even too much noise does not spoil a very good lunch!

Acceptable food but the bad service overshadows everything. Worst of all was the attitude of the staff , pretentious and arrogant.
