    Massively wonderful healthy eating in Palermo…read more This is fun food - not haute cuisine. And there is healthy animal based food available for those that want it. Buenos Aires Verde is a lot better than the good-for-you cafes I have in my home city. Among the decadent pleasures they have masquerading as health food - A passionfruit chia smoothie. When you are in Latin America, if you see passionfruit (maracuya or maracuja) on the menu, Just get whatever it is that they are selling. Maracuya is wonderfully good. Maracuya makes your whole day better. Maracuya makes the sun shine when it rains And your relationships renew if you are arguing. Maracuya solves all problems - at least for half an hour. Chocolate can't even remotely compete with maracuya. The maracuya chia smoothie I had was the perfect start for the perfect day. It was also one of the few ways you can get chia into Samuel C without Samuel C giving you a speech about about what a bad idea chia is. My wife had a tofu and egg scramble. Yeah, eggs like the kind that come from chickens. Maybe a plant laid the eggs, but I don't think so. It looked like one of the best scrambled egg dishes ever. If i wasn't in total bliss about my maracuya smoothie, I would have wanted those eggs for myself absolutely. Argentines like heavy sweet pastries with their breakfast. I had a chocolate covered raspberry chocolate cake. This was a health food restaurant So this meant that chocolate covered raspberry chocolate cake was good for me. My life was extended seven years because of that raspberry cake. The coffee is fine too. (Good coffee is not an automatic in Buenos Aires. There are a lot of famous establishments with absolutely terrible coffee.) * * * After Buenos Aires Verde, my wife and I were able to go out and conquer the world. Starting your day with really good chocolate cake will do that for you.

    We stumbled across this place walking around Palermo after a late afternoon lunch at Casa Munay. We…read morewere intrigued even though we had already rated so we decided to have dessert. Dessert was okay - raw chocolate cake. While we were waiting for our cake we decided to grab a bag of cashews to take to go - only my girlfriend noticed bugs in them so I kindly let the hostess know. She seemed grateful and proceeded to inspect all of the remaining bags and removed over half of the remaining cashew bags. However, when we were ready to leave she was extremely rude to us. We wanted to pay and no one was attending to us - she ran my card wrong several times and was also talking to someone else wanting to order. She was short when I handed her the same card back and I had to almost force her to run it again. It is too bad because we had fully planned on returning Saturday night but never again after our experience. Food looks good - nice veggie menu - but bugs, no thanks....

    Buenos Aires Verde - This is the new storefront (not my photo) but much more accurate than what is available.

    Hierbibuena is a healthy restaurant with suppliers that are much much better than the suppliers of…read moreother organic/natural restaurants in Buenos Aires. If you are here to treasure all pure locally ingredients, It really matters that those all pure local ingredients be as wonderful as advertised. At other good for you Argentine places, the materials are what the materials are. HERE the raw materials are amazing. * * * How do they get superior raw ingredients to Hierbabuena? There is little doubt in my mind that the owner has very specific arrangements With very specific growers. Those "deals" are life and death for what Hierbabuena wants to do. * * * To see what I am talking about, Order the Greek Yogurt. The Yogurt is yogurt. Lots of rival places can match them on the yogurt. What will change your world and open up your eyes is the fruit. What will also change your world and open up your eyes are the nuts. This is the first time in my life I have had a completely fresh almond. An almond in a bag in a store, an almond in a bin or an almond in a tin can not match the flavor of an almond that is fresh from the field. I tasted those almonds and was amazed. I did not know almonds could be like that. "Red fruits" - a combination of raspberries, currants, blueberries and other berries that you can imagine - is an Argentine staple. They are generic red compote elsewhere. They are completely stellar here. And notably, every single type of berry in the "red fruits" tastes completely different. I never knew what each new spoonful was going to taste like. Strawberries were absolutely sensational. In North America, we have ways of getting fresh strawberries - although we also know what dead supermarket strawberries are like. These were as good as North American fresh from the field strawberries ... But those strawberries were in such good company. Ever had pumpkin seeds that tasted like anything? Guess what happens when you get them fresh. * * * Two other notes. a) They also bake at Hierbibuena. This is health food baking and the desserts are not sweet. BUT The desserts are both light and filling. (You can try to figure out how they pull that one off.) They are not sodden - which is what most dismal health food desserts are like. More importantly, they have tastes that sneak up on you. I had their version of an alfajore (stuffed big cookie) that was the size of a small dinner plate, as thin as three nickels, was made of cacao, but had no cacao taste (by design) ... and had a mysterious thin layer of brown paste inside. Usually an alfajore has dulce de leche. This brown paste was sesame peanut paste. The layer was no more than two millimeters thick. You only got sesame peanut taste in about 1/4 of your bites. But those 1/4 of the bites were absolutely sensational. The cookie was meant to fill your stomach, be light and not be overwhelming. It was meant to take a back seat to your coffee. On that plan, it was perfectly executed. It was the best breakfast cookie I have had in Buenos Aires. b) The place is gorgeous. Inside is all early twentieth century green tilework. Outside is a wide boulevard, cafe seating, shady trees, and 1920's granite and wrought iron historical architecture. For sheer picturesqueness, you can not beat a Hierbabuena breakfast. * * * Good looks, good baking, amazing ingredients and it is all good for you too! The perfect way to start a day!

    First, the food was delicious and out of the ordinary. We were thrilled to stumble on a place that…read moreis vegetable-forward and adventurous. We shared a green smoothie (excellent) and an avocado and chicken salad sandwich (generous, messy, rich). They brought us each a cup of delicious gazpacho and some bread, no charge. We liked the informal ambiance. Service was fine and friendly. Food was made to order, clearly. By Argentine standards we found the restaurant a bit pricey for the kind of informal, organic place it is. But we would happily go there again and explore their menu.
