Beautiful stone castle-like decor, exceptional service, fine wines, limited seating to 4 tables, so very intimate atmosphere. Their carta de vinos is everything you see lined up on the walls (Finca Suarez malbec comes highly recommended @ $220 ARS per bottle) & la carta de comida is written on blackboards. We tasted the fresh bread, olive oil, burrata, tortilla de papas y pasta con broccoli y verduras. Open only 2 years. Check it out!

According to Yelp it was supposed to open at 7am, but by 7.20 it was still closed. Finally found a cute little place called M Salumeria on El Salvador and stopped there for a glass of red, some local jamon and a piece of creamy goat cheese. All good; the ham was tasty and a big serve, the chèvre too, so what started off as a snack actually turned into dinner. They were playing classics jazz songs on the sound system like Summertime and I'll be Seeing You (in all the old familiar places). Nice place and good service.

Excellent Japanese fusion restaurant in the Palermo area of Buenos Aires. We went there for lunch…read moreafter searching for diverse cuisine during our week-long stay in BA. The restaurant is small and sports a modest front but the food is amazing. They have ramen, sushi, teppanyaki and bento box style lunches. Beer and wine are available. I had a mixed salad which was huge and a good mix of crisp, fresh vegetables. I also had the braised tofu which was perfectly done with a load of sautéed vegetables and a delicious brown sauce on it. The service was attentive and friendly, though knowing enough Spanish to communicate with the wait staff would be most advantageous. We were able to get by with our limited phrases. Overall, a fabulous lunch.

We approached this place on a Sunday with a touch of trepidation. The enticing website gave it the…read morelook of a place likely to do some serious damage to our wallets. I mean, "the only place in Argentina with a magnetic bar". We didn't even know what that was, but it sounded expensive. Turns out, it's a metal track with magnetized plastic disks that are carried along by whatever magnetic force is beneath, and on which, if there are people at the bar, they send out random tapas that you can grab like dim sum as they pass by. And, it's not expensive at all. At least at this point, the pricing on each plate of tapas is a mere 130 pesos, basically $2, and for the month of February, on Sundays, a mere $100 pesos a plate! Our waiter said there are specials every month on one day or another (check their Instagram account for announcements). We decided to dig in. Our first round: An excellent gazpacho with toast; tasty the classic pa amb tomiquet, toasted bread with tomato and Iberico ham; delicious foccacia with avocado and cured sardines; a really good salmon tartare with oyster sauce on a rice cake; and a decent, if not spicy, ceviche. Swiftly followed by equally good bomba amarillo - a potato croquette topped with a prawn, lime, and chili; and the secreto iberico, pork belly with caramelized onions and aioli. Still not done we went in for scallops in a parmesan crust and a chorizo cooked in cider in a bao. The only real disappointment of the day, the bao itself was chewy and, well, just not right. We finished off with a plate of the day's special, crispy fried eggplant in a mustard infused crust, drizzled with honey. All told, 1000 pesos plus drinks and tip, a bargain for three of us, and easy to recommend. They also have a small store upfront where you can buy some of the products they serve. What's not to like?

Their menu is great, and you really can't go wrong with anything there. Loved their tuna roll (order one per person), reuben sandwich, kung pak chicken, mushroom toast, and chicken mac sandwich (modeled after the big mac. trust. this is good!) cocktails are good, and they have a 2 for 3 deal from 7-9pm. lots of options. none of the drinks was standoutish like (omg i need to have this again) but i really did enjoy it!!!! total came out to be around ~$20 a person, for splitting some light tapas & two drinks which isn't bad!!!! i'll def be back & recommend anyone (visiting or living in BA!) to try.

We went there fairly early (for BA!) at about 6pm and the place was already buzzing, especially with a wedding dinner going on. The bar has an interesting cocktail menu which will surely satisfy a wide range of tastes. We tend to stick to classic cocktails, both of which were great. We ordered some tapas plates. The food was presented well and tasted delicious. The service was fast and friendly without being obtrusive. As with most places of business in BA, the English speaking level of the staff was limited. But with our own limited Spanish we were able to get by just fine.

THESE EMPANADAS ARE SO GOOD YOU WILL CRY TEARS OF JOY…read more I'm not joking, I'm in love with these empanadas. They're delicious. I stayed in BA for a month and every day after class, a bunch of us would go here to chill and have a cheap lunch. They're 12 pesos each, probably the cheapest in town. I personally love the pollo because it reminds me of Indian food-like the perfect fusion. But the Humita (corn and cheese) is a close second. You will not regret it. I promise.
