The ambience overshadows the food. And the food is excellent…read more Croque Madame is located the Circulo Militar. There are two options: in the courtyard or inside in one of the fancy salons of the palace. (Note: When you make an invitation you need to tell them whether you want to eat inside or out.) We were in the courtyard and it was lovely. The food was lighter, international food. Maybe it's Nouveau Argentine? We each had amazing salads accompanied by lovely wine. The service seemed a little, um, stressed. Even our Argentine guests were a little irritated at times and Argentines do not appear to complain at restaurants -- ever. As we were leaving, the hostess asked if we want to see the two dining rooms inside the palace. Don't miss it. The inside is beautiful. One caution: if you're going to eat in the courtyard, put on some insect repellant. BA has a bumper crop of mosquitos this year.

The staff were very friendly given we were Americans which is always a toss up at places like this overseas. Our waite helped me pick out a great Chardonnay to pair with the handfull of items we ordered including the tatine tasting plate, a gorgeous garden burratta salad and the famous Argentine Choripán (braised pork shoulder sandwhich). I only wish I had room for dessert.. and just be prepared to fend off the hungry pigeons that attempt to steal a bite occasionally.

I needed something quick to eat after walking around the Plaza Congreso and seeing the National…read moreCongress building. La Americana with their food in the window drew me in. The sit down portion was quiet but the counter and stand up dining areas were so busy. I placed my order with the cashier and after paying in pesos got a receipt that had to be handed over at the counter. It was stamped after my request was confirmed. I dined in and a runner went to grab both empanadas on a metal plate. The slice of gallega de atun had to get reheated and was brought back to the ovens. I just stayed at the counter and watched since I had no idea what to expect. It was a little chaotic with so many orders being filled by the large number of staff but they were all over it. The filled plate was eventually handed to me and I grabbed my utensils and found a counter spot. The chicken empanada had a thin crust and a nice savory chicken filling. The meat was shredded. The gallega con atun was much different presentation than I was used to for empanadas. The pie like crust was golden brown and packed with lots of tuna, onions and bell peppers. I liked the little bit sweetness the peppers added. When finished any scraps and paper napkins were thrown into the trash bin under the counter. The plate and utensils were left on the table to be later cleared by the staff. I will definitely eat both styles of empanadas here again.

La Americana on Av. Callao in Buenos Aires has great empanadas and pizzas. We stopped by this place…read morefor lunch after coming out of a guided tour of the Palacio del Congreso de la Nación Argentina. The service was excellent and the food delicious. The fried empanadas are amazing with crust that were rich, buttery and subtly salty. The finely chopped chicken filling was juicy with a balanced flavor that lingered just long enough to make me want another bite. The slices of pizza had thick, "bready" crust with creamy mozzarella. The two Napolitana with fresh tomato slices were juicy, aromatic, and herbaceous. The anchovies and green olives slice was thick and cheesy with a salty, briny Mediterranean flair. Overall, it was a great lunch at a joint that offered excellent service, and great food of good value.

It almost felt like an old house transformed into a restaurant. The service was nice, I had the thai noodles and my husband had a mushroom steak version. The food was decent, my thai version was a bit on the sweeter side but his milanesa dish was really good. I'd recommend this restaurant if you're in the area.

Hey, Argentina. It's okay. Everything doesn't have to be greasy. Sometimes I want to eat out and…read morenot feel like I need to lay down in the street afterward. My poor traveler intestines need a break. My (misguided) thought was that going to a vegetarian place I'd finally meet like-minded digestive systems, but then I got a plate of bread floating in hummus soup. I think there were mushrooms in there, I couldn't tell, it just seemed like blocks of high-density grease surrounded by lighter-weight grease. And to frame the whole picture were enormous blocks of fried potatoes that were roughly 95% cooked. Biting into a lukewarm raw potato core is one of those experiences. Just one of those experiences.
