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 – […]
Patagonia in Buenos Aires: The Other El Federal
I’m always in search for a certain type of restaurant that falls into a unique category: Argentine food but not parrilla, milanesa or empanadas. It’s tough to find that restaurant that is still considered Argentine, but served in a non-traditional way, with inventive combinations presented in a thoughtful fashion – and of course, all at a moderate price.

Unlike Latin American countries like Mexico or Brazil, Argentina does not have a booming street food culture. Sure you can get facturas […]

Olsen: The Original Buenos Aires Brunch
OLSEN IS CLOSED. Back in the day, in the mid 2000s, before the brunch craze invaded Buenos Aires, Olsen reigned on top for THE place to brunch. Cool, sleek, modern atmosphere, minimal decor, beautifully presented food, extremely accessible prices, trendy clientele and a one-of-a-kind menu. Stir in dozens of write ups in the popular guide books, and a […]
Blast From the Past: Pizza Piola
The 90’s were a helluva decade – over sized flannel shirts, baby tees, overalls, Doc Martens, yak paks, Pauly Shore, tamagotchies… I could go on for days. Luckily, I had a shot of nostalgia in Pizza Piola (Gorriti 5751, Palermo) and felt as if I was transported back in time. Back to the Bayside Tiger’s […]
