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.
Over the last couple of months, a sampling of a few spots that offer a more “high end” sushi experience, currently limited to delivery, but with an eye towards… one of these days, reopening. All of these spots fall into a price range that hits somewhere around 120 pesos per piece in combinations or omakase… Read More Fancy Fish
As predicted, Argentina is back in lockdown. Not quite as strict as the one 14 months ago now, but still. Restaurants are closed again other than for takeout and delivery (and delivery only between 6pm and 6am, because there’s a curfew for being out and about unless you’re “essential” during those hours). And I know… Read More Hording Pizzas & Plates
I’m beginning to think we may end up back in lockdown here again. We’re already partially there, with many schools re-closed, restaurants are semi-closed – they can only be open until 7pm for outdoor seating, and after that have to switch to delivery only, and ostensibly after 8pm only essential workers can be on the… Read More Bite Marks #87
In which, I revisit some spots I’ve reviewed in the past, a sort of bumping up to consciousness of spots that are worth your time as the restaurant world scrabbles to recover from 14+ months of pandemic restrictions. And counting…. Let’s start casual. Still one of my favorite burgers in town, ever since declaring it… Read More Bite Re-Marks
It’s pizza time again. A short post, as I’ve not really been going out with the newly restored restrictions in place on getting around the city. We can do it, but we’ve been asked to limit going out and about for a couple of weeks. So, as you’ve seen from the last half dozen posts,… Read More Half a Pi(e) is Better than No Pi(e)
Two new spots for creative Peruvian fare have opened, one here in Recoleta, the other in Palermo. Obviously, we had to check them out! Let’s start close to home…. Che Perú, Guido 1862, Recoleta – Stumbled across this one simply walking around the ‘hood. I hadn’t, and still haven’t, seen any announcements about the… Read More Peruvian Creativity
Outings, outings, outings. The Horde rides again! That’s Roving Ravenous Horde for those who aren’t keeping up. A couple of new spots we’ve been to on some recent, lovely afternoons. This one came to my attention serendipitously. I was on the 108 bus, going to or coming from somewhere, and just saw it in passing, looked… Read More The Horde Rides Out
Although the last couple of years here in Buenos Aires has seen a widespread bloom of “Neapolitan style” pizzerias, there are plenty of other pizzas out there. And who’s to say that one style is the be all and end all? Certainly not me, given that my tastes run to the extremes of cracker thin… Read More Crust Differential
