My New Favorite Brunch: Hernán Gipponi Restaurant in Fierro Hotel

My New Favorite Brunch: Hernán Gipponi Restaurant in Fierro Hotel

**Hernán Gipponi Restaurant is no longer in the Fierro Hotel** For those looking to indulge in an extra special, extravagant brunch, skip the Faena, Park Hyatt or Alvear hotels and instead boutique it up at Hernán Gipponi’s restaurant, inside the Fierro Hotel.  After two visits this past month, it’s fair to say that H 2-da G […]

The Perfect Plate of Rabas: El Preferido de Palermo

The Perfect Plate of Rabas: El Preferido de Palermo

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, […]

The Perfect Buenos Aires Brunch

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 […]

A Springtime Spot: FLORENCIO

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, […]

Loca for Sopa: Soups at Sugar Bar

Loca for Sopa: Soups at Sugar Bar

**SUGAR NOW ONLY SEASONALLY MAKING SOUPS, CALL AHEAD TO MAKE SURE** In a country known for delicious guisos (stews), soup fails to make an appearance in the local food scene.  Should we blame Mafalda for the fact that it is almost impossible to find a delicious bowl of piping hot soup? Luckily, Sugar Bar (Costa […]

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

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 […]

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

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 […]

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 […]
