A Serious Eater's Guide to Buenos Aires and Beyond

The Buenos Aires Market

Posted on September 23, 2012 6 Comments

The Buenos Aires Market

There’s really nothing better on a sunny, springtime Buenos Aires day than trucking over to the Bosques de Palermo (en bici, of course), to dodge the slow walking-mate drinking pedestrians, collide with erratic bike riding children, and watch pre-teens on roller skates eat shit hard on the pavement. You might think it wasn’t possible for the Bosques to get any busier […]

Sudestada, High Winds with a Great Lunch Special

Sudestada, High Winds with a Great Lunch Special

Back in the good ole BA days, when the colectivo cost 80 centavos, Sudestada offered one of the best lunch specials in Palermo.  Fast forward a few years, add a 70% price increase and an inflations-a-bitch tax, and this Southeast Asian inspired restaurant still remains a long standing Buenos Aires lunch special favorite.

Wrapping N Rolling with Fitz Roll

Palermo Hollywood lunch crew, here’s a quick lil’ gem for a midday munch. Fast food done differently, this hole-in-the-wall nestled snuggly on Fitz Roy, rolls out fatty wraps filled with your own choice of produce-protein prime packed goodness.

A Latino Sandwich

A Latino Sandwich

There comes that moment in time when you stumble upon a special sandwich gem.  A sandwich that puts your stupid old miga-milanesa-milanga to shame. In my fake Buenos Aires life, I’d open up a kiosco-sized shop, serving killer sandwiches and salads, at a price accessible to most. Thankfully Latino Sandwich has done just that, helping to reinvent […]

This Is Why You’re Fat: August Edition

Quests for bloody Marys, a gastro-trip to the Ukraine, new closed-door restaurants, sandwiches and brunches galore, here are some food highlights (and low lights) of August eats. Oh, and a big RIP to my camera. It’s broken (probably caused by too much food inside the lens), which means I must take a food porn hiatus. […]

Smeterling: Recoleta’s Sweetest Gem

The Buenos Aires sweets scene just doesn’t really do it for me. Always a bit dry and heavy-handed on the dulce de leche, it’s never been too hard to pass on postre and just say no… Until I visited Smeterling, a modern boutique bakery wonderland, created by and for lovers of the art of pastry. One of the […]

I Latina: The Caribbean of Buenos Aires

Even though it’s one of the biggest cities in South America, Buenos Aires sure lacks quality Latin American restaurants. Desperately longing for more food options coming from our friendly Spanish speaking Caribbean neighbors to the north, I Latina, the new and extremely anticipated puerta cerrada, has finally opened their closed doors to bring something quite gastronomically unique to the […]

Mongolian BBQ: Choose Your Own Genghis Khan Stir Fry Adventure

***”Mongolian BBQ Chile Caliente” was formerly known as Gengis’s House. First, they had a Recoleta, then moved downtown to Alem. Today, they are in Palermo Soho.  NEW PALERMO LOCATION –> El Salvador 5090, Palermo Soho Mongolian BBQ is one hell of a concept. It certainly didn’t originate from Mongolia, and it’s not exactly traditional barbecue, but it’s positively delightful to eat: a big […]
