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....

They also have whimsical little knick knacks around the restaurant that you can buy and staff are always so friendly. I recommend getting a reservation at lunch time. Otherwise, it's super easy to get a table. So far, I've had White Fish on one visit and the Salad of the Day on another and thoroughly enjoyed both. Bread is also from their bakery and so, so delicious. Their ginger lemon drink is refreshing while the beetroot is a bit on the thick side so I recommend having it with a light meal. 10/10, honestly.

*** 4.5 stars ***…read more Expect a wait and slow-ish service at this very popular vegan restaurant that is very charming. Well worth the wait, they do have salmon on the menu in addition to the vegan offerings, which is probably the priciest item on the menu but a generous well-made portion. The complimentary bread is a nice touch. I always try to eat here at least once during my visits to Artemisia as it really stands out in a city of less healthy options.

Argentina makes some of the greatest steaks on the planet…read more And yet, there are times when nothing is better than an Argentine hot dog. I am not talking about the stupid everyday hot dogs which are called panchos. These are just like hot dogs in America. They depend on what kind of goop you put on top. I am talking about Choripan. If you think about how you eat an Argentine steak (with wine, gusto and reverent appreciation) And how you eat Argentine ice cream (squeals of oooooooh!) Choripan is right in the middle. Half Church of Great Amazingness and Half Little Kid Fun. * * * We don't have Choripan in the US. Choripan is derived from the Spanish-Catalonian hot dog tradition rather than the German frankfurters we eat in America. In a Catalonian hot dog house, you have a choice of 8 or 10 or a dozen different kinds of hot dogs ... Meaning 8 or 10 or a dozen different kinds of meat or flavoring right in the sausage itself. One sausage might be made with extra liver. One sausage might be made with lots of ground up mushroom. Usually there is a spicy one with Mexican chiles. Nowadays there is a vegetarian one. The sausages all taste dramatically different from each other. Choripans are larger than a traditional frankfurter but smaller than a knockwurst - more like a fatter version of a footlong. They are served on a small submarine roll. In Spain, you get a free choice of toppings. Most Spanish will only put one or at the most two toppings on their dog, Because they do not want to drown out the taste of the meat. Our hot dogs are boring. We put distraction after distraction after distraction on top to make us forget how lousy the base dog is. * * * Chori is widely considered to serve the best choripan in Buenos Aires. Choripan is all they do. There are ten choices of sausage. They are more rigid than the Spanish on toppings. They have figured out what topping goes best on each sausage - and when you order your hot dog, you get the chef's choice of fixings for each one. Believe the house. They know what they are doing. How are their dogs served the way they want to serve them? ABSOLUTAMENTE MAGNIFICOS !!!!!!!!!!!! * * * Special Bonus Section! Not only does Chori make its own hot dogs ... But it also makes its own ketchup. Once you have had Chori's ketchup, You will never be happy with the Heinz-style American ketchup we eat at home. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Argentines have better tomatoes than we do. But that is not the driving factor. They have put something dark and baritone and powerful into their ketchup. My guess is that they use balsamic vinegar rather than white vinegar as the base. However, I also think they have seriously reconsidered the spice mix and the use of sugar in the ketchup. Whatever, their secret is, you absolutely positively must get french fries with your choripan. And yeah, the fries themselves are nothing special. (I have only had really good french fries in one place in Buenos Aires, El Federal in San Telmo.) But Chori's ketchup on even average fries turns the fries into a dish to remember forever. Long after my hot dog was gone, I was eating each french fry one at a time as slowly as I could. The fries had already gotten cold but I didn't care. The ketchup was that good. * * * I don't think they put nuts in the sausages at Chori. But YOU would be nuts not to go to Chori while you are in Buenos Aires. Hey, there are more ways to have fun than just doing the tango!

I'm always thrilled to find a Vegan or Vegetarian restaurant, where I know I can enjoy my meal…read morewithout worrying. The restaurant itself is in a nice location, had a lovely and bright exterior, and was easy to find. When I walked in, the server came and seated me right away. Although the menu is on the back wall, it can also be pulled up on your phone by scanning the QR code on each table. Everything is Vegetarian and the Vegan items are marked on the menu. I ordered the braised tofu, which came on a bed of rice and steamed vegetables. The tofu was seasoned really well, the rice and vegetables were low sodium so I added some salt and pepper for more flavor. It was a nice treat to be offered a free appetizer of pumpkin soup and three types of toast, all vegan. It tasted great! I think my favorite was the lentil spread toast. The atmosphere is inviting, and it's a great place for a meal or just getting coffee. My meal plus a bottle of sparkling water came out to roughly $15 usd or 21,000 pesos. It was reasonably priced and a nice option for plant based diners.

Menu is expansive and nicely organized, with vegan and gluten-free options highlighted. There are so many healthy smoothies to choose from, and looking around, seems like a popular spot for dessert as well. Free bread and hummus is given, as well as a shot of fresh berry lemonade. Yum! I ordered the black pepper tofu which came with a side of tabouli, russet fries and seasonal veggies. The plate was beautifully presented, so many colors! The food was super light with a great mix of flavors and different textures. I also ordered a smoothie made with almond milk, Colombian coffee, banana and lemon. It tasted more like lemon and banana, I wish there was more coffee flavor, but I still happily slurped it down. Service was friendly and the atmosphere is lovely and quaint. Of course, it's not cheap, but it's not expected to be. Totally worth it, if you ask me. Definitely recommended if you're veg, or even a meat eater looking to try something different! I'll be trying their Palermo location soon.

I ordered the thali plate which came with ginger rice, sauteed mixed veggies, a beet salad, 2 fritters and some bread. I wasn't a fan of the beet salad, and the veggies smelled a bit spoiled. Everything else I happily munched down. Prices are decent considering anything exotic here has a high markup. I spent $400 ($20 USD as of Feb 2018) which included some tasty ginger lemonade. Altogether, a fine experience. I would return if in the mood for Indian food.
