There’s a certain realm that has truly shown oven-baked excellence over the last few years. I’m referring to buttery, warm, decadent, delicious fresh baked goods at cafés and bakeries – most of which are run by a new generation of bakers and pastry chefs.
Where to Eat in Buenos Aires: 5 Great New-ish Restaurants
Do people still read food blogs? Are we supposed to do substack newsletters now? Incessantly post on Instagram? Tweet threads? Make restaurant voice-over TikToks? Get into crypto NFTs on the metaverse? (I know the last one is nonsense, but somehow feels accurate.) I don’t think blogs are still a thing, but I’m feeling retro and […]
The Sarkis Experience: What to order at BA’s most popular restaurant
If you ever stood outside the corner of Thames and Jufré waiting over an hour for a table, you have already completed the first stage of the Sarkis Experience. The 250-seat Armenian restaurant on the Villa Crespo-Palermo border is open every day, for lunch and dinner, and almost always packed to capacity. Many will quibble whether or not Sarkis’ serves the best Middle Eastern food in the city, but I’m not going to engage in that debate because as one of the most popular and iconic spots in all of Buenos Aires, Sarkis deserves our respect.
Recipe: Gran Dabbang’s Pakoras de Acelga with Carrot Chutney
I remember the first time I tried the swiss chard pakoras at Gran Dabbang. The year was 2014, the genesis of BA’s new food renaissance. I had heard about this Palermo café serving Indian and Southeast Asian food that was actually supposed to be spicy. So naturally, like many young and inexperienced food bloggers who […]
Tegui En Casa: How a top Argentine restaurant fits inside one box
The other night my doorbell rang at around 8 pm. “Allie?” a voice said on the intercom. “It’s Tegui.” A few months back, it would be ludicrous to think that one of Argentina’s top fine dining restaurants would be delivering food to my door. But alas, we are living in a different era now. One […]

UPDATED MARCH 19, 2020, 9pm We are in lockdown mode! The government issued a mandatory quarantine until April 1 April 12 May 10. That means you should stay in your damn house!

An Overwhelming Guide to New Restaurants, Cafés, and Bars in Buenos Aires for 2020

La Boca’s Legendary Bodegón Institution
Decades prior to BA’s craft beer and burger boom and before Asian-style hipster bars became a thing, Don Carlos stood on the iconic corner of Brandsen and del Valle Iberlucea, across from La Bombonera fútbol stadium, and served traditional Porteño comfort foods.
