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
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.
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 […]
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.

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 […]
Horneando Up A Storm At Baking BA

Villa Crespo: The New Gastronomical Mecca of Buenos Aires
It’s safe to say that Villa Crespo is no longer an up-and-coming neighborhood; it’s already the hotness and has been for some time. These grand gastronomical happenings are leading Villa Crespo into the food heavens, sprinkling it with that extra sparkle, and making it a hot destination for traditionalists and trendsetters alike. It’s the Palermo Viejo […]
The Chinese Food Counter: Asia Oriental Supermarket in Barrio Chino
ASIA ORIENTALS BAR HAS CLOSED! BACK UP: MIAN near the tracks, Mendoza 1725 for dumplings + peanut noodles. Oh, how I love you Asia Oriental food counter. With your pungent fishy odors, uncomfortable bar stools, over-crowded narrow eating space and disorganized inattentive service, you always put that cherry on top of my already rewarding Buenos Aires Barrio Chino […]
