Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.
It’s time to get out of the house, don’t you think? Almost twenty months of being in or close to home has become a weird combination of comfortable and oppressive. And honestly, for the last many months, there’s really been no reason for it other than a federal government here (and elsewhere, yes, but here… Read More Stepping Out
We finally have a traditional Peruvian restaurant in our neighborhood, Recoleta. We’ve had the more upscale, fusion, Nikkei style food available nearby – from a few years back when La Causa Nikkei opened, to the more recently opened Che Perú and Lima, the place I reviewed in the last post. And, of course, our own Casa SaltShaker with our heavily… Read More Peru Comes to Recoleta
Several months ago a new sushi spot, Lima, popped onto one of the local delivery services and I gave it a shot. It was specified as “Nikkei Style”, the Japanese-Peruvian fusion, and it was a tad pricier than some of my more usual delivery options for sushi, but, it turned out to be absolutely delicious and… Read More Nikkei in Style

While Argentines have long been among the biggest consumers of wine in the world, the idea of a selection of wines by the glass seemed to mystify them.

Wow, 90 of these mini-review posts! Well, plus the others that are mini-reviews but were on a theme. A whole lot of eating out over the years is basically what it comes down to. Half the places covered are probably gone after this last year and a half, I suppose gradually I’ll end up finding… Read More Bite Marks #90
What has The Roving Ravenous Horde been up to? The question on everyone’s lips. First up, a visit to Manteca Restó, Uriarte 1657, Palermo. Trendy, sleek, looking a bit like an IKEA showroom, this spot has been getting some great press, and seemed a perfect spot for our foursome of the day. Scallops ceviche, with two or… Read More Horde-ing it up in Style
A quick peek at several spots in barrio Once for Peruvian food that I haven’t checked off the list before. Brasita Chicken, Agüero 810 – Pretty much the definition of a hole-in-the-wall. Clean, but just worn down enough that you’re not sure it’s safe to sit down. At lunchtime, the only thing on offer is… Read More Peruvian “Once” Again
After a couple of year spate of new spots pushing the slow fermented crust, Neapolitan style pizza, it’s inevitable that some new wave would sweep through this pizza obsessed city. Currently, it’s the opening of very “North American” style pizzerias. I’ve mentioned a couple in recent posts, like TouchDown Pizza Neoyorkina, Chicago Style Pizza, and… Read More Pizzas Norteamericanas
