The sauces let down the homemade pasta we ordered which is why i'm giving a lower score. The pastas themselves were great (ñoquis and sorrentinos) but the mushroom sauce was pretty much cream with a few dried mushrooms thrown in at the end, zero taste. The bolagnesa sauce was a little better but lacked seasoning. Food is served sloppily table side. I'd give this place another shot but would definitely order something else.

Absolutely stunning outdoor cafe seating! Delicious Peruvian cuisine in a beautiful location. The…read morestaff was super accommodating and helpful (we were tourists with a sub-par understanding of Spanish ) and they helped us navigate the menu and actually took the time to explain what things were that we were unfamiliar with. The seafood wontons were delicious, and my husband had the catch of the day with tacu tacu (a Peruvian dish that is rice, beans and spices) that was fantastic! I had the seafood spaghetti and it was delicious with a silky sauce that coated the noodles perfectly . The ceviche (Asian style) was the standout of the meal though-made with the catch of the day- it had sesame oil, chilis, and crushed peanuts on it , in a fresh citrus dressing. We loved our meal here! The piece sours are good too! Reservations are a must!

On my book (as an Italian) it is sacrilegious to throw it away but that's what Happen and the fish was very bland and didn't tasted fresh at all. A shame I won't be coming back.

About a 20 min Uber ride from our Airbnb apartment, it also allowed us a glimpse into Palmero. We made online reservations through their WhatsApp number. Quickly seated around 7.30pm before the crowd started to arrive. Fortunately, our server spoke English too. The fried seafood appetizer was a large tasty portion of shrimp and calamari. The server provided additional red sauce when requested. My pisco sour was very good although a bit too much whipped whites on the top. Recommend to request on the rocks next time. The table next to us, ordered a salad which was very large, probably an appetizer for 4! Service was very polite and not too slow. I enjoyed the fresh river fish for my entree. We skipped dessert as we had been eating at too many bakeries every morning for breakfast! Palermo in that area around 9pm or so was not very exciting. Other restaurants and lots of food delivery bicycle riders hanging about.... It would be nice to return with more of a plan to explore the area. Easy to request a ride back to Recoleta and catch some sights along the way!

Very pretty place, with two dining rooms on the ground and first floor, the latter having a small…read moreterrace off of it, and then another level up, a full rooftop terrace, where the four of us decided to lunch. Here, the menu is focused on just freshwater fish. Among ten appetizers and nine main courses, all are freshwater fish, with the exception of one vegetarian and one meat dish in each category. As of our visit, the freshwater fish on offer were pacú, dorado, boga, and surubí. Three of us went for delicious deep-fried surubí empanadas! And served with hot sauce on the side on request. 45 pesos apiece. You get little complimentary ramekins of pickled white butter beans, and they were so good, we ordered up a full appetizer order of them. A bit steep at 180 pesos for the small sized bowl that we got - for that price, this bowl ought to be full! Stick with the free ones. A good ceviche - the flavors were all there, though surprisingly, given the fish choices, the one they use for the ceviche is the boga, which has a kind of chewy texture to it naturally. I think we all would have liked it more if made with surubí, a classic of littoral cuisine up along the Paraná river. It did need a little more heat, even with the requested "make it picante" - so we added some of the hot sauce from the empanadas. 350 pesos. Two of our number ordered up the grilled pacú, our waiter swiftly returned to let us know that the only pacú in house were huge, and the kitchen recommended just one order of a big fillet to share. Good choice, and they gave us a price discounted to somewhere between one and two orders. Perfectly cooked, rich, and served with a choice of sides - french fries, mashed potato, grilled vegetables; plus rice. 370 pesos regularly, we got the double version for 600. Our waiter highly recommended his personal favorite, the grilled dorado with leek cream sauce. Excellent! Even with the grilled head staring at us. But that turned out to be a plus, because of course, there's that delicate cheek meat that's so good... 450 pesos One of the group, of course, had to be contrary, and ordered the ribeye steak. Cooked just the way he ordered it. The accompaniments a little odd - a sort of fruity wine sauce, and a very bizarre mix of mashed potatoes and smoked eggplant that didn't work texturally or flavorwise. 370 pesos The one other disappointment, the "grilled vegetables" which turned out to be just a few strips of grilled vegetables laid atop a bowl of undressed arugula. If that's what you're offering, let us know that, because that's not a "side of grilled vegetables", at least not in our book. They were tasty, just too few of them, and the salad was like an afterthought. All in all, love the space, great service, it's a delight to have a place for freshwater fish in town again. And, for the most part, great food. For all the above food, plus three rounds of fresh brewed iced tea, and tip, we spent 2400 pesos, 600 apiece.

A distinguished and very fine seafood restaurant in Palermo Hollywood…read more Expensive. That is your problem. Not theirs. Reservations only. Don't count on talking your way in at the door. This is true even if the restaurant will be 2/3 empty all night. This is because, more than any other restaurant I have encountered ... The house is absolutely positively averse to food waste. They want to know EXACTLY how many people are coming every night. They buy just enough food To serve exactly X dishes to customers - a number known in advance, And throw away exactly Y dishes - the dishes that customers did not order. They know exactly what X and Y will be every night. When my wife and I were the first people in the restaurant, And we both ordered Salmon with Miso - we found there was just one copy of that dish that would be served that night. My wife got the one copy. From both a business standpoint and the point of view of managing quality in the kitchen, this policy makes total sense. Other restaurants don't do this or don't have to do it ... But I see what Chipper is trying to accomplish. * * * Everything we had at Chipper was utterly superlative. My wife's one dish of Salmon with Miso was dramatically good. However, I got a house staple ... The pasta with seafood sauce. This is a dish for which they are known, So they make a lot of this one. The seafood pasta would easily justify the reputation of the establishment. It is an utterly satisfying wonderful dish. The only other place I have had seafood pasta this good Was in an Argentine diaspora restaurant in Leme in Rio de Janeiro. I have thought about that dish for years. Chipper's stands in fine company with that legendary Rio de Janeiro bowl of pasta. * * * Desserts may be wonderful at Chipper. But keep in mind, Chipper is a few doors away from Alchemy. Alchemy is one of the finest if not the finest ice cream shops in Buenos Aires. Never never never never never never turn down a chance to get ice cream at Alchemy. So we did the morally right thing. But for appetizers and main courses, You are not going to beat Chipper if you like fish. Yeah, you have to make administrative arrangements to get into the place. But you have to make administrative arrangements to fly to Buenos Aires in the first place. * * * Both sets of complex administrative arrangements are worth it.
