Sushi, sashimi or nigiri. Tsukemono or pickles. Wagyu or Japanese cow. Dashi, Miso soup, Ramen noodle soup, Tonjiru.
Do you remember if it is Palermo, San Telmo or Gaucho the name of the resraurant?
I'm curious what an Argentine restaurant outside the country has on the menu.
The first thing that came to mind was Cabbage Rolls. AKA: Golabki in Poland,
Then I realized that everything I eat is international except for corn on the cob?

San Telmo in Meyers Place, they have a big open charcoal grill/bbq and the meat is amazing and the chef is pretty famous from what I can gather.
There are so many... but at the moment it is Chicken Vindaloo with okra and turmeric rice. An Indian friend made me some that was a delight to the senses and made my hair sweat. But, really, I could go on and on with international dishes that I've had that were mind blowing.
I built my own tandoor, so we eat a lot of indian food cooked in it. But Tandoori chicken is probably my favorite.
I also have an unhealthy obsession with carnitas of both the Cuban and Mexican varieties.

Lamb curry, Bahn Mi, Bun bo Hue
India - Braised Goat Stew with Garlic Bread (I forget the name of the Bread).
Great menu. It is a sophisticated version of an Argentine grill. Yes it is a true Argentine menu. It looks delicious.
If you like overly sweet, I would recommend the Flan for dessert.

Of course you did
Chicken Tikka Masala has always been and will always be my favorite.
A single international dish is impossible for me. But one of the most memorable meals I ever had was at the Bali in Scheveningen, then considered the #1 Indonesian Restaurant in Europe.
We had their rijstafel with a few extra dishes that the restaurant always prepared for our host, who was a regular.
There were approximately 48 courses, all small plates, in aparticular order, each designed to contrast with the previous dish while setting up one's palate for the next one.
The leisurely feast went on for over 2 hours as cooks carefully prepared dishes at table side, in addition to what was coming from the central kitchen. To accompany the rijstafel we had tankards of Tuborg beer. It was fabulous!
The only other feast of "international" food that comes close is the traditional Indian wedding of a friend that I attended. It was a wondrous spread of Indian dishes, including a number that I've never seen in an Indian restaurant, and I've been to dozens of them all over the US. They clearly edit down for the American palate.

While the Indonesian quisine is quite common in the Netherlands they served amazing food, I loved the ambiance too, but I prefer to go "casual". In general, Indonesian toko's serve outstanding quality food and much more affordable.
Bali unfortunately went bankrupt in 2015.

I'll post some pics here when we go and tag you. We generally go with friends and order quite a few sides and share which is nice. Seems like pickled vegetables are popular in Argentine cuisine.
