Once a vegetarian in this meat friendly city, I used to have to do a lot of extra work making sure I wasn’t served a former furry creature. Me: “Esto no tiene carne?

Doppio Zero: Italian Food Done Right
**DOPPIO ZERO IS NOW CLOSED*** With ganas to visit Doppio Zero (Soldado de la Independencia 1238) for quite some time, my intense craving for pasta finally drove me to this small Italian restaurant in Las Cañitas.

Fresh Baked Medialunas in the Air
A few blocks away from my apartment, and the tourist / cheto SCENE that has transformed Oui Oui as an extension of the Live Hotel monstrosity, is a lovely, quiet spot, Café Montenegro (Soler y Arévalo).
