Resucita al peregrino! declares the enigmatic mural in Moo Cantina Pimlico, just one of the many curious decorations that adorn the fun and funky Vauxhall Bridge Road premises that this pioneering Argentinian pub occupies. The full proverb is El buen vino resucita al peregrino, good wine revives the pilgrim, and if ever there was a chance to test such a directive, here’s the place. Moo Cantina’s wine list is impressive, but far from intimidating. Shedding the pretentious trappings of upscale dining is part of Moo Cantina’s mandate, and the wine list reflects this by being informative but affordable. The focus, naturally, is on Argentinian wine – choose from reds that run the gamut from light and fruity to full and robust, or a vibrant, honeysuckle-perfumed white such as the Dominio del Toyo. Moo house cocktails like the Bloody Moo, the vanilla-infused Sweet Moo or the very South American Moo Mate, made with yerba mate, keep your insides sunny no matter the weather. And there’s a host of international craft beers available too, including bottles from the venerable Argentine brewery Quilmes, chilled and ready for the quaffing by London’s ardent hop heads.

While we could wax lyrical about the bevvies on offer at Moo Cantina Pimlico for an age, most pilgrims make their way to Vauxhall Bridge Road for the delicious Argentinian street food. There’s something of a craze for Argentine grills in London at the moment, and no one does it better than Moo Cantina Pimlico. Besides luscious steaks, tuck into lomitos, warm gourmet Argentinian sandwiches, or empanadas, stuffed pastries best attacked with both hands. Olives and bread with chimichurri fill the short gap between grabbing a seat at Moo’s long shared tables and the main event, while classic, rustic dishes on the hoof offer a less carnivorous alternative to the succulent, typically meaty, Argentinian cuisine that Moo Cantina Pimlico specialises in.
