We decided to try this tiny Guemes hole-in-the-wall based on Lonely Planet's strong recommendation…read more While it didn't quite live up to their glowing review, this is a fun neighborhood joint and a good choice if you're looking for a seafood alternative to all the beef, beef, beef. A small Peruvian restaurant, Punta Sal has just a handful of tables inside and no outdoor seating. Like most other places we went to, it was empty at the touristy hour of 9 pm, so we had our choice of walk-in seating. There's colorful art on the walls and, of course, excellent people-watching if you sit by the window, which I recommend. LP mentioned an extensive menu, but when we were there, it was only about eight dishes or so and fit easily on a small chalkboard on the wall (see photo). The wine selection is similarly limited, but they have a few red and white wines. We tried the ceviche mixto and the lomo saltado, typical Peruvian dishes. The ceviche was a hearty mound of fish, shrimp, and squid (?) served with a chunk of very good sweet potato, white beans, and those crunchy corn kernels. It has a VERY strong, sour lime flavor, so be prepared for some serious tartness! The lomo saltado was a good-sized portion and well prepared. Our server didn't really speak English, so you should be ready to order in Spanish here or at least point at what you want. We muddled through with our basic Spanish and our server was friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable, and I have the feeling that the place gets more lively at an Argentine dining hour. It's a nice place for a fresh, healthy-feeling chicken or fish dinner, located in a fun and hipstery neighborhood for strolling and browsing.

Yet another excellent ice cream chain in Argentina -- it's hard to go wrong with so many good…read morehelado places. They also serve coffee drinks and sandwiches, but I can only speak for their (very good) ice cream. There are quite a few Wollen locations around Cordoba, but this one seemed to be one of the larger stores, with indoor and outdoor seating. It's open quite late, like most cafes and restaurants, so don't worry, it'll still be open even after a late Argentine dinner. You pay for what you want at the register first, then go over to the ice cream case to choose your flavor. The large menu board shows their flavors, although it's a little unclear at first which are ice creams vs. sorbets or whatever. I tried the pineapple (anana), correctly suspecting it would be a sorbet, and didn't love it enough to get it. The "Crema Wollen" flavors are where you'll find the mascarpone, which is a must-try if you like cheesecake: it's a sweet, light mascarpone-flavored cream with a generous berry fruit swirl. It's almost overwhelmingly sweet and rich, but in a good way! They also have "sambayon," that mysterious South American flavor that's like an egg custard with sweet wine. The dulce de leche granizado (with chocolate chunks) was good, not the very best we had in Argentina, but definitely worth trying. The single-scoop "cucurucho" (cone) is a large portion and more than enough for a dessert or snack -- see my photo. You can try a sample or two before you commit, so don't be afraid to try something unusual! Enjoy some people-watching day or night at the outside tables after a long day of walking around and sightseeing.
