Barrio Chino is one of my favorite places in Buenos Aires where I still get excited every time I visit. Pathetic? Maybe. Hard to find imported products kinda get me off. This time around I picked up the following items: Coconut milk, mango chutney (not that good), Asahi beer, Sriracha, tofu, lemongrass, Kikkoman soy sauce bc […]
A Different Sandwich at a`Manger
Brie and goat cheese with an apple onion chutney baked on freshly made bread, a picada of salami, gruyere cheese and black olives stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes, grilled chicken breast and roasted vegetables on top of a bed of greens in a malbec reduction, a Middle Eastern spread with tabbouleh, hummus, babaganoush and ensalada belén, tapas of parmesan cheese wrapped […]
Almacén El Nono Amigo: Where Picada and Empanada Dreams Come True
UPDATE: El Nono Amigo’s is now CLOSED but replaced with La Gran Tienda – a great spot for all your cheese, cured meats and sandwiches to-go. Cured meats, sharp cheeses, fresh bread, pickled vegetables – I must admit, I don’t give this Argentine delicacy the credit it deserves considering picadas are pretty damn awesome, and just might be […]
It’s Brownie Pillow Sugar Cookie Time
Malvón: Villa Crespo’s Perfect Café
Homemade Cookin’ at Caseros
Parrilla Brunch: A Orillas del Maldonado
**THIS SPOT IS NOW CLOSED*** For a typical Argie, a Sunday afternoon would never consist of eggs, bacon or bagels. Although brunch has made an appearance to the Buenos Aires food scene in recent years, the weekend asado will never go out of style. So, feeling the porteño spirit, I headed over to Humbolt and […]
Barrio Chino, Buenos Aires: A Culinary Mecca
Despite the fact that Barrio Chino, or China Town, takes up only 2 blocks in the Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires, it still remains a favorite destination in the city. It’s basically my version of Disney World, where you can find anything from tofu to hot chili peppers to lemongrass to sriracha to many more delectable (and not […]
Can I Have Some Salad In My Ensalada? The Best Salads in Buenos Aires
I bet you have never heard anyone say, “I went to Argentina and had the best salad ever!” Why? Simple. Overall the salads are sucky, consisting of wilted greens and boring unripe vegetables, either not dressed at all or drenched in some weird mayonnaise-based “dressing” sauce. When ordering a salad, many will respond in ridicule – […]
Patagonia in Buenos Aires: The Other El Federal
I’m always in search for a certain type of restaurant that falls into a unique category: Argentine food but not parrilla, milanesa or empanadas. It’s tough to find that restaurant that is still considered Argentine, but served in a non-traditional way, with inventive combinations presented in a thoughtful fashion – and of course, all at a moderate price. El Federal (San […]
