Having lived in NYC for many years, I think I'm a fair judge of bagels and I was pleasantly…read moresurprised to find authentic bagels here in Buenos Aires. Choices of different spreads with some interesting combos. I had a jalapeño spread on an everything (duh) bagel that was great and kept me full all afternoon. I'll definitely be back!

A decent selection of bagel "flavors", though missing my three personal favorites from any decent…read moreNY bagel shop - pumpernickel, everything, and salt. The closest they get to those are a whole wheat, a mixed seed (no onion or garlic in the mix, which an everything bagel needs), and, no salt option. For a flat price you pick your "protein" - which is either smoked salmon, tuna salad, or one of the vegetarian salads, then you pick a spread - cream cheese in plain, chive, or dill, or a few vegetable spreads, and then a choice of three vegetable toppings from the array - pretty typical sandwich shop selections. I went with smoked salmon, chive cream cheese, red onion, tomato, and cucumber. 90 pesos, or under $6, so not bad at all. The bagel is good - decent flavor, a little softer than a real NY bagel, it's missing that real surface "chew", but at least it's not just a bread roll with a hole poked through the middle. And, it's easy walking distance from home. Mostly take out, but they do have a few seats. I'll be back.

La Crespo is a charming little restaurant with a pleasant ambiance and good service. C and I came…read morespecifically because I have been yearning for a pastrami sandwich for some time. I insisted (because I was starving) that we each order a sandwich, but C advocated for ordering one and sharing. I acquiesced and was glad we did. (We're not big eaters and are always in search of quality instead of quantity.) The sandwich that was served was splendid. Just what I was hoping for! 200 grams of thinly sliced pastrami with pickles and mustard. Of course, this is Buenos Aires, so everything is relatively less strong in flavor that in the U.S. In Chicago, pastrami has a distinct pepper flavor and crust; this was softer, but with outstanding flavor. I'm in love and waiting for an excuse to return. Food: 5 stars Ambiance: 4 stars Service: 5 stars

From the owner: Sugar and Spice nació en el 2002 como el sueño de ofrecer en Argentina galletitas de una calidad…read moreincomparable. El desafío era hacer galletitas choco chips llenas del mejor chocolate; biscotti estilo italianos llenos de almendras; galletitas para copetín con hierbas y mucho queso rallado; budines sabrosos y húmedos; un pan dulce noble, con avellanas, almendras, nueces, realmente inolvidable. Y empezamos, con las mejores recetas, las más generosas, las más abundantes. Y cuando las dábamos a probar, nadie podía creer que esa galletita se pudiese comprar. Realmente estaban y están hechas como para "comerlas uno". No están diseñadas para vendérselas a otros. De ahí surge nuestra incomparable y constante calidad.

We ate here on our vacation for a late breakfast. The waitress was very nice and i enjoyed my food.read more

Wait : none with walk in or rsvp Service : nice and…read moreefficient Food : I love their coffee ( coffee with milk) and croissant. Steaks is also available but not a lot of people are ordering and it's not a place to try best steak. Otherwise, their salad is great and some pasta. Price : reasonable Tips: they have menu with English language. You don't have to tip in Argentina but if you do, they prefer cash. They accept most credit card (I use visa), dollars or peso. It's pretty crowded place and not romantic

Stopped by for a drink after spending most of the day on a hop-on hop-off bus and found tables on…read morethe street for our party. As seems to be the case in BA, most wines are only available by the bottle, not by the glass. They have a few beers to choose from and a good assortment of cocktails. The drinks came with some appetizers of olives, potato chips, and peanuts a long with two small finger sandwiches. Those were not expected but well appreciated. We've been warned about the potential for snatch and grab robberies so we kept an eye on passers by. Several came by multiple times for no reason so be careful if you sit outside.
