I went in with high expectations, which were not met. The…read morefood is amazing, don't get me wrong. I had the pork belly and egg bowl, very filling, the textures are lovely and it packs a nice spicy punch flavour. My issue here was the service. It took about 10min to get seated, even though there were at least 4 tables open. Then another 20 to get drinks, which the waitress promptly forgot and had to retake the whole order. We ended up flagging down another waiter to finally bring us some water after 40min waiting. We were sitting right in front of the pass, so we saw our food come out. Now, it took the waitress 10min just to see the food there and another 5 to figure out / remember where it was headed. My 7 year old daughter ended up screaming HERE, THAT'S MINE! so we could receive our food. All and all, the food is amazing and will definitely come back.... Once you re-train the waiting staff.

Mixed feelings about this place, with roughly a dozen visits under my belt. When I first started…read moregoing there about a year ago, I was completely enamored of it. Basically gastropub food with spicy Asian influences, mostly in the form of kimchi and sriracha sauce added to various staples like truly excellent burgers and tacos. Over the last year, they've added in a full on menu of various "bowls" - mostly a handful of toppings strewn about on top of rice, salads, and a slew of coffee drinks. The influences from various Asian cultures continues, with a bit of Korean, a bit of Thai, a bit of this, a bit of that. But, as they've been more widely discovered by the local porteño community instead of just expats, they've also dumbed down the spice level of things - on my most recent visit two dishes were so lacking in spice and so sweet they could have come out of any neighborhood cafe/patisserie on the ladies-who-lunch strips of Recoleta. Plus, prices seem to have crept up by close on 50% over the last year. Service has gone from friendly and welcoming to a strange hipster-ish style that's neither of those. I don't begrudge them success, but its a shame the success has come at such a cost and price.

My wife and I loved los Galgos ("The Greyhounds")…read more First some background. Los Galgos is on the list of the 100 Notable Bars that the BA tourist people promote. But los Galgos is more of a neighborhood restaurant which also serves alcohol. And by neighborhood restaurant, I mean nothing fancy. Every neighborhood in BA seems to have at least one restaurant for the people who live in the neighborhood, not for the tourists. The emphasis is on fast and inexpensive. The food at los Galgos was good, not great. But the ambience was terrific. Lots of little tables. Jammed with people at lunch time. Everyone seemed to know everyone else. We squeezed into a two top and ordered two sandwiches made from "pan de molde" -- gigantic sandwhich bread like you ate as a kid, maybe 50% larger. I can't even rember what we had. The older gentleman at the next table started talking to us. A public accountant who had business at a nearby government office for his clients. He said he had nine grandchildren. "You must be very proud of them." His answer: "Some of them yes. Others, not so much." When he left, a couple our age sat down. The woman immediately asked who we were and how in the world did we end up at los Galgos. She and her husband live in the suburbs and were staying for a few days with their daughter who lived nearby. This lady even went and asked the bartender how "Los Galgos: aquired its name. Truns out the original owner owned and loved greyhounds and used the name of the breed when he opened the restaurant in the 1930s. We chatted back and forth. I swear they would have invited us over for dinner if we weren't leaving that night. is los Galgos one of those places you shouldn't miss? No way. Would I go back? You bet.

Not as great as the other great historic bars of Buenos Aires…read more But great historic bars in Buenos Aires are pretty good. This is a mortal and not a god, But it is a fine fine mortal. * * * There is a major campaign in Buenos Aires to preserve the great cafeterias and bars of the Golden Age of that city. There is government money behind some of this. There are wonderful entrepreneurs who truly believe in what they are doing behind all of this Most of the rescued places are five star all the way. This one is merely four star - but that makes it better than many places in your home town. * * * They don't have a house vermouth here. The waitress told me the founders of the house invented La Fuerza vermouth, which is arguably the greatest commercial vermouth in Argentina. A little internet research showed she was full of petunias. La Fuerza was invented in Mendoza and not in Buenos Aires, by four people who do not have the same name as the person who created the Los Galgos Bar. But I think the waitress was sincere, and really believed her story. I was not unhappy to be drinking La Fuerza regardless of who invented it. La Fuerza is simply good stuff. * * * Los Galgos is more run down than the bars that have seen all-out restorations. From the floor up to the six foot level, everything looks wonderful. A camera could tell great stories about the room. But like many historic Argentine bars, this is a thirty foot high room. Everything from Foot Seven to Foot 30 is cheap awful industrial that has seen a lot of wear and tear. You feel like you are in a grungy warehouse that has had water damage. You go into the great restoration bars and everything you see is magical. * * * None of these problems have any relevance to what is going on in the kitchen. The cooking here is just fantabulous. I had an absolutely amazing salami platter/sandwich The salami was on millefeuille rather than standard bread. Argentine millefeuille when it is good is to die for. The millefeuille was at the top of the millefeuille game. The combo came with first rate green peppers. (Argentine sweet peppers of any color are better than what you get in the U.S.) Superlative olives Good enough grapes and a nifty mustard. I was one happy camper. * * * Normally when I am in gastronomic bliss, My eyes tend to roll up to the ceiling. I had to avoid that here because the ceiling was great at destroying the mood. But if I kept my focus narrowly on my plate or on my lovely wife, I could do okay. But food this good deserves to be rewarded ... Particularly if you are washing everything down with La Fuerza.

It's the oldest cafe in Buenos Aires and I liked the old school feel of it. We ordered a cafe con leche (latte), a tostada mixto (ham and cheese toastie sandwich), and a medialuna (smaller sweet croissant pastry). The portions were large so definitely shareable. The latte and the tostada mixto were good. Service was good as well, faster than I expected (I'm from NYC where everything is fast haha). The reviews said service was slow which I did not experience but it could be that I came early in the morning so it wasn't busy.
