Why it's worth checking out
Caminito La Boca sits on Nicholson Street at Footscray, one of Melbourne's most diverse and characterful inner-west suburbs. A much-loved Argentinian restaurant — its name evoking the famous La Boca neighbourhood of Buenos Aires — it's earned a strong reputation, combining quality, flavour-packed Argentinian cooking with good drinks and a warm, vibrant atmosphere.
The appeal is that combination of quality, authentic Argentinian food (think grilled meats and South American flavours), a good drinks offering and a fun, characterful setting in a great Footscray location, ideal for a special dinner, a meal with friends, a date or a sociable night out. Authentic Argentinian cooking with a genuine point of difference really stands out, and Caminito has clearly won over a loyal following in the inner west.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 340 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular restaurant fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table at a peak time in Footscray.
