Prodeo Lounge
We finally made it out to the Prodeo Lounge this weekend. I’d heard and read a lot about this place, right from when they opened. They are receiving many good reviews, so I was expecting great things from Jeroen Van Den Bos.
I had never been to the Prodeo Lounge, so didn’t even know what it [...]
Mauricio Lorca Wines
I was recently at a small tasting of wines by Mauricio Lorca. Mauricio Lorca is a well-known young winemaker, who has worked for prestigious bodegas such as Luigi Bosca and Finca La Celia. He later opened his own winery, under his own name, which is a small, boutique winery located in Vista Flores, [...]
Japanese Gardens Cafe
The Japanese Gardens are a great spot to spend a weekend afternoon. They are beautiful, peaceful, and different from what you normally see in Buenos Aires parks. In addition to the gardens, they also have a greenhouse, a building for Japanese cultural events, and a restaurant.
The restaurant is pretty basic inside, and looks like a [...]
Gardiner
Gardiner is a classy-chic Argentine restaurant located on the Rio de la Plata in the Costanera Norte. I was there recently with a large group of people, as part of a work event, and the first thing I noticed is the décor. Everything is very ornate, there are large chandeliers, colors are rich, dark, pastel [...]
Oye Chico
Oye Chico is a Cuban restaurant located in Paseo la Plaza, a small entertainment center located near Callao and Corrientes street. They have live Cuban music (Salsa, Trova, Cha-Cha-Cha, etc) every night of the week, except on Mondays when they are closed. They have a nice, small patio that is very quiet, [...]
El Transito | Pietro Marini Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Pietro Marini is a small, boutique winery located right on the outskirts of Cafayate. This wine is not for the faint of heart, nor for those who love juicy red shiraz from Australia. However, I would have to put it in one of my favorite wines that I have tried in Argentina because [...]
Sipan
Sipan was one of the first Japanese-Peruvian restaurants in Buenos Aires, and has a great reputation. This is one of my favorite types of cuisine, and I´ve been dying to try this place out for AGES. Finally, I got the opportunity, and was VERY impressed.
The restaurant is located in the microcentro, which during the day [...]
Pizzaería Guerrín
I often go to Guerrín for pizza, because I think it’s one of the best spots in BA for traditional Argentine pizza. However, this time I decided to try some of the other dishes they serve – if their pizza is so good, I figured that it is likely their empanadas and tarts are good.
Unfortunately, [...]
Brasserie Petanque
The Brasserie Petanque is bistro-style restaurant located in San Telmo. They serve mainly traditional dishes, such as Boeuf Bourguignon, Duck a l’Orange, etc. and some less traditional plates. We went for dinner one night, as a friend had recommended the restaurant to us. Other than the service, we were very impressed.
We started with a nice [...]
BiWon
Bi Won is known as one of the best Korean restaurants in the city, and is a great spot to get traditional Korean food. The restaurant is simple, but has a few sections that are nicely blocked off, making it a great spot for large dinners.
Perhaps the most enjoyable part of a meal at Bi [...]
