It’s mighty refreshing finding a solid lunch spot that breaks away from the Palermo café-lunch-brunch scene epicenter. Loreto Garden Bar, situated in a residential part of Colegiales, is an ideal warm-weather spot, to sit outside, and have a mighty tasty lunch. Loreto’s menu may seem like any old Argie café menu of burger-sandwich-salad-tarta-offerings, but look a bit […]
The Buenos Aires Vegetarian Dilemma: What to eat in Argentina?
Adios Resaca, Hello Maple Syrup: Magdalena’s Party Brunch
What do classic soul jams, Bloody Marys and massive breakfast crepes have in common? Resto bar Magdalena’s Party weekend brunch offerings. I remember back in the day when it was nearly impossible to find anything reminiscent of a good ole’ USA styled brunch – times have changed and bruncheando is a new local pastime (ranked […]
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.

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 – […]
Café Crespin: Bakery and Deli Done Right
Top It Frozen Yogurt: Dale muchas vueltas
Sattva: Conciencia Vegetariana
Once a vegetarian in this meat friendly city, I used to have to do a lot of extra work making sure I wasn’t served a former furry creature. Me: “Esto no tiene carne? Soy vegetariana.” Puzzled mozo: “No, no tiene carne. Tiene jamón, pollo, pescado, sangre de animales…” Even though vegetarians aren’t a common thing […]
