**BROTES DEL ALMA IS NOW CLOSED** Located in a Belgrano house, converted into a restaurant, Brotes del Alma serves up creative, sophisticated dishes, at very economic prices, where the food shines as the main attraction. There is not an overall theme to the type of food served – using my own personal classification system, I […]
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 […]
All Hype at Cluny
**CLUNY IS NOW CLOSED** When I first stepped foot in Argentina, Cluny was the HOTNESS. All the rave. The cool place to weekend Palermo-it-up. But, at a whopping minimum 30 pesos per person, my cheap Study Abroad ass opted to go down the street to the then LAID back (ahem) Mark’s Deli for a delicious […]
Asado at the Estancia
Every few months it’s important to get a vacation from Buenos Aires, if only for just the day, and venture off to distant lands like Zona Norte, Tigre or somewhere in the campo. Spending a day at an estancia (Argentine ranch) is common on the tourist-trap track, and after many years living in this country […]
Just A Big Overpriced Chicken Sandwich
**THE FOOD FACTORY IS NOW CLOSED** After walking by this Palermo Hollywood restaurant numerous times and reading several positive reviews, I finally decided to see what all the hype was about and check out The Food Factory (Nicaragua 6055), celebrity chef Tomás Kalika’s posh restaurant located right next to the Live Hotel.
Passport to Yanquiland: The Office Bar & Grill
Ordering a burger in Argentina can definitely be risky. The grand beef myth that all meat reigns supreme halts at the traditional parrilla, with restaurants serving so called ‘burgers’ (processed Barfy or Paty brands) instead of good ole’ ground chuck. In my quest to find a delicious burger I came across many Debbie Downers, “Don’t […]
The New Hot Closed-Door In Town: Casa Mun
CASA MUN HAS CLOSED IN BUENOS AIRES AND REOPENED IN CASARENA IN MENDOZA I first heard about the opening of Casa Mun back in November and instantly put myself on the mailing list. I’m not quite sure why, perhaps call it a sixth food sense, but I had an inkling that this place would be special. […]
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 […]
