Cabaña Las Lilas
I have heard from many tourits that the very best steak house in Buenos Aires is Cabaña Las Lilas. I have also heard from many Argentines that it is overpriced, the portions are small, and the steaks are no better than many other steakhouses. For this reason, I avoided it, because it IS rather [...]
High Tea at Hotel Alvear
Many large cities throughout the world have a classy, wolrdclass hotel that serves high tea. In Buenos Aires, this place is the Hotel Alvear. Although high tea is not a common tradtion in Buenos Aires, a merienda with mate is. A merienda is basically a high tea, without the sandwhiches and scones. Sweets are served, [...]
Estancia El Ombú
Estancia El Ombú is located a short drive from San Antonio de Areco, in the epicenter of gaucho-land. It’s named after a remarkable 200 year old ombú tree that grows by the house. This is a working ranch, with over 300 head of cattle, making it a great place to see what a real Argentine [...]
Tucson Steak House & Bar
Tucson is an American style steakhouse, serving Argentine beef. They serve typical American dishes such as ribs with BBQ sauce, steaks and other meats with sauces and ceasar salad, all in a American-like atmosphere. The restaurant is pleasant, very modern with clean lines, mostly dark colors, and quite bright. We ordered two types of ribs [...]
Minga Restaurant
Located overlooking the Plaza Palermo Viejo, Minga has one of the best locations in Palermo. They have a nice patio in front of the restaurant, perfect for people watching. I was there late on a cold Friday night, hungry and eager to fill the large void that had opened in my stomach. I ordered pechito [...]
Amalaya Gran Corte 2009
The Amalay Gran Corte is a blend of mainly Malbec with Cabernet Franc and Tanna, and is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. It is a fantastic wine in every way – it is a full-bodied wine with a rich, ruby red color. The nose is dominated by dark red fruit, which also [...]
Tips a la propina restaurant
One part of choosing a restaurant for the evening as you journey down the energetic streets of Buenos Aires, can be connected to a very important characteristic of the place…..the price. Depending on what one wants, the price may play a huge part in deciding where to dine for the evening. So what if we [...]
Felino Viña Cobos Merlot 2009
Merlot is not one of Argentina’s strong points when it comes to wine, but this one came highly recommended, so I was willing to try it. It came at a cost ($65 pesos), but you have to be willing to pay the price if you want a decent Argentine Merlot. This particular wine is from [...]
Palo Alto Pinot Noir 2008
I recently tried the Septima Noche pinto noir, which I thoroughly enjoyed….something that does not happen often when I am drinking a pinot noir in Argentina. A good pinot is a rare find and you have to spend at least $70 pesos to find one that is half-decent. I was recommended the Palo Alto pinot [...]
Patio 378 – Novotel Hotel
Patio378 is the hotel restaurant for Novotel, which is located right on Corrientes near the obelisk, and is a bit like an oasis in the dessert. They have a beautiful patio on the ground floor behind the hotel that is quiet and relaxing, a complete contrary to the craziness found outside the front doors of [...]
