El Francés
It was a Friday night and we were craving French food – we were hoping for fondue, but to my dismay found that our local fondue favorite had shut down…so we decided to try El Francés, a small bistro style French restaurant in Palermo SoHo. The atmosphere is nice, it is very spacious, large windows, [...]
Finca Beltram – Malbec
This wine has to open up a bit (about 30min), but once it has done so, it is pretty decent. Rich red berry, fig, and vanilla flavors lead to a medium finish with hints of leather and coffee. The tannins are a little astringent, but it is quite decent for a $10 peso wine. Would [...]
El tafí
The Tafi is a small take-out restaurant offering traditional and Argentine dishes, such as Locro, Empanadas, Tamales, Humitas as well as the usual Pizza and Tarts. With the arrival of the winter-like weather, I was in the mood for some Locro, so decided to try it out here. I also ordered a meat empanada.
The food [...]
Humberto Canal Blanc de Noir Blush 2009
This is a rose wine that will bring back memories of the sweet blush zinfandels from the 90s. Sweet, cloying, no complexity, and a poor finish make this wine a dud. Unless you liked those zinfandels, this one is not worth trying. A disappointment from Humberto Canale, which for the most part [...]
Benihana
Benihana is a small chain from the US and has recently entered the Argentine market. They are best known for their teppanyaki style meals, where they cook your meal in front of you on a hibachi grill. More than just cooking the food, they turn the process into show.
The Buenos Aires location is located at [...]
La Lechuza
When translated to English, the term “lechuza” means Owl. A weird name for a restaurant if you ask me, but why it has that name becomes more evident once you enter the restaurant. Through the entrance and around to the left is a wall dedicated to art of Owls – paintings, drawings, sketches etc, some [...]
Primafila
Primafila is one of a strip of restaurants lining the upper terraza of Buenos Aires design. It is an Italian restaurant offering gourmet pastas, meats and pizzas and the atmosphere is nice, a clean modern looking place with some booths, and various shades of brown.
I went to Primafila on a Saturday afternoon to take advantage [...]
Valderrobles Clasico
It’s obvious that this is a house wine, from its price. However, when you drink it, you will find it’s a great value, and worth more that the price. The Valderrobles line offers some great wines for a very low price, and the Valderrobles Chablis even made the Expose “Best Wines for Under 10 pesos.” [...]
Steve McCurry Photo Exhibit
Currently at the Centro Cultural Borges is an exhibit of 110 photographs by the world renowned photographer Steve McCrurry. If this name does not ring a bell, you will probably recognize some of his photographs. The most famous, titled “Afghan girl” appeared in National Geographic in 1984. This photograph, and many others are viewable at [...]
Etchart Privado Torrontes
I recently picked this wine up on a whim. I was in Carrefour, this wine was on display and only $11 pesos, and I thought, ya, I could use a couple more Torrontes at home. It’s from the Cafayate Valley, and it’s Etchart, meaning there was a good chance it would [...]
