Long before Palermo Soho flooded with overly trendy porteños, when Spanish was still the dominate language of the neighborhood, El Preferido de Palermo opened as a standard almácen-like bodegón: no frills, attentive service, solid food. Since the opening in 1952, this restaurant on the corner of Guatemala and Borges has stayed true to its heritage, […]
Loreto Garden Bar
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 […]
BBQ Town: Korean BBQ Right In Your Backyard
Barrio Chino, my culinary mecca, and home to many disappointing Chinese restaurants (except Asia Oriental counter and Hong Kong Style), has now just gotten a lot more interesting: spicy kimchee, beautiful bulgogi, more than 25 small plates of hot and cold dishes, soup, oysters, bacon, shrimp, lettuce wraps, dumplings – I could go on and on. […]
The Perfect Buenos Aires Brunch
One time in my life I had the perfect brunch in Buenos Aires. A brunch filled with bagels, French toast casserole drenched in maple syrup, salty and savory cold cuts, an assortment of flavored cream cheeses, bacon, fruit, granola, yogurt, fresh baked challah, all the fixings you could dream of, juice, champagne, vodka, gin, cucumber […]
Buenos Aires All Star Restaurant: Paraje Arevalo
On a quiet Palermo Hollywood corner lies just one of the most quaint, pleasant, delicious little restaurants you ever did see. Simple in decor, Paraje Arevalo (Arévalo 1502) focuses on the food, excellent food that reaches a level that is hard to find in this city. Unique, inventive, with keen eye on presentation, the young […]
A Springtime Spot: FLORENCIO
**FLORENCIO IS NOW CLOSED AT THIS LOCATION, BUT STILL OPEN IN RECOLETA** Florencio’s tiny café situated on a charming cobblestone street near the British Embassy was always a top choice to send visitors in the Recoleta area. Even though it is one of my favorite merienda spots in the city, with only a few tables, […]
Asian Noodle Salad
With asado season approaching, it’s always a good idear to have a few easy yet delicious side dishes up your sleeve. Asian flavors + kilos of asado meat might not seem like a good combination to some, since Argies are accustomed to haute cuisine sides like the famed ensalada rusa or carrot and mayonnaise salad. […]
Paying What It’s Worth A La Gorra: Pagano Club Social
I never thought this would exist in Buenos Aires. A trend that has somewhat spread throughout European and American cities, but a model that seems very foreign to the culinary scene in Argentina: restaurants a la gorra. No set prices, you simply pay for what you think the meal is worth. Despite the economic risk, this […]
I HEART Bagels: Quiero Bagel Delivery
Niji: As Authentic As Japanese Can Get, In Buenos Aires…
With a lack of authentic Japanese restaurants in Buenos Aires, I am happy to add another place to the list. Thanks to a tip-off from my favorite Treatsy and Lost Asian Buenos Aires food bloggers, I found out about the relatively unknown traditional Japanese spot: a hidden gem on the Belgrano-Nuñez border, where a Japanese mother and daughter duo run an […]
