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.
Five casual April outings, all accompanied by decent food… no wows, but all good meals. Let’s start with one of our date nights out, this time to Asu Mare Barra Cevichera Palermo, Thames 1514. I’ve visited their small ceviche bar near to home a couple of times, and enjoyed it each time. We decided to give… Read More Bite Marks #110
A recent article in one of our major local papers, La Nación, was scribed by a local Chinese food and culture writer, and touted seven Chinese restaurants in the city that are “beloved” of the local Chinese community. I was already familiar with two of them, Rong Cheng and Shan Dong, the latter I’d written up long ago.… Read More Chop Suey #29
There always seem to be more and more Peruvian restaurants here to check out. I have some that have been on my list for a long time, but even as I look at getting to them, more pop up. It’s Whack-a-Mole! I’m not even sure I know how many are left… I mean, I could… Read More More Peruvians!
A recent article in Business Insider was rapidly passed around, more for its headline than its content. The title asserted “The key to happiness might be living within walking distance of a coffee shop”. I realize it’s stated as a possibility, but if it’s true, I ought to be positively giddy with delight. We’ve always had… Read More Caffeinated Happiness
It’s been awhile since I’ve had a solid “you should check these places out” group of restaurants. There always seems to be one or two that just don’t make the grade, and past reader feedback is that you guys want to know about those too, in order to avoid them, or, sometimes, argue with me.… Read More Bite Marks #109
A quartet of Italians today, one of which I’ve reviewed before, and was worth a revisit and more sampling! We’ll start with two in Parque Patricios, both close on the park itself. This is actually turning out to be an interesting neighborhood for food, especially Italian, as the two spots today are excellent, and in… Read More Four Italian Bites
Janus was the Roman god of doors, gates, passages, beginnings, transitions, and time. But also, the middle ground between concrete and abstract dualities such as life/death, beginning/end, youth/adulthood, rural/urban, war/peace, and barbarism/civilization. When I read about the concept behind Casa Pasto, Nicaragua 4557, Palermo (to one side of Plaza Armenia), my first thought was a sort… Read More The Janus Parrilla
From cheap to dear, from casual to fancy, we’ve got a little of everything this time around in Bite Marks! Arredondo, Virrey Arredondo 2562, Colegiales – I’ve heard great things about the burgers here (and a second location in the northern ‘burbs). I went with their Vertiz burger, a double cheddar cheeseburger with bacon, grilled onions,… Read More Bite Marks #108
