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.
Sometimes, I get the feeling that we’ll never actually get through all the Peruvian restaurants in town. Of course, if I focused on those only, we might manage, but there’s just so much food out there to try! Mi Huarique Barra Cevicheria, Montevideo 370, Monserrat [w3w: kennels.ruby.slider] – I gave this spot a very cursory… Read More More Peruvians…
A couple of slightly longer “Bites”. It’s been five years since we ate at the restaurant at the Mio Hotel, Sivela, Quintana 465, Recoleta, when we popped in there for one of BA’s food week specials. We were not impressed. It closed. But I’d heard quite good things about their new restaurant, Rufino Argentino,… Read More Bite Marks #74
Let’s start with a little KFC… Korean Fried Chicken… then we’ll go all Chinese, and end up in Sushi-land. Maniko Fried Chicken, Felipe Vallese 3472, Floresta [w3w: cars.poems.mulls] – Not quite hidden away like the last new spot I posted about in Koreatown, but definitely off the beaten path – a block further on… Read More Chop Suey #22
It’s been a year and half or so since I did a dedicated burger post. And, I was in the mood to try a few, so, here goes… a trio of very good, good, and not so good…. Relatively new chain of burger shops that have opened, DeNiro Hamburgesería, this one at Warnes 301… Read More Hamberders
An all new round-up of Asian spots that garnered themselves a visit…. AZIT Chickenbar, Ruperto Godoy 733, Floresta [w3w: uniforms.beats.noting] – Located on this new little gastronomic alleyway, right next to Chung, the Korean-Chinese spot which I reviewed recently, no surprise, this place specializes in chicken. Specifically, Korean fried chicken, in several different versions, from… Read More Chop Suey #21
Food, glorious food…. Not everywhere we ate, as not everything and every place is worth talking about. Rota do Acarajé, R. Martim Francisco, 529 [w3w: quit.boggles.liquids] – Way back in December 2008 and January 2009, I took a series of classes from a Brazilian chef who had a restaurant in Buenos Aires, to learn the… Read More São Paulo, Round 2 – Food!
Let’s see, what’s on the menu today…. The Good Shawarma Express, Suipacha 877, Centro [w3w: instance.purist.landed] – It’s no wow, but it’s a good shawarma at this little hole in the wall with no air conditioning or fans, making it, on a hot summer day, like sitting in an oven. Choice of chicken or… Read More Bite Marks #73
Hong Sichuan Family-Style Dishes, Montañeses 2113, Barrio Chino (Belgrano) – Brand new spot on the “back street” of Chinatown. We spotted it, and definitely put it on the list, but it had the look of another of these newer Chinese spots where the owners basically say… “screw it, we’re cooking for our community, we’re not… Read More Szechuan Happiness
