- Index by Cuisine

This page is just a quick summary of restaurant reviews as I get to them. I’m just going to give a “recommendation” or not. You can probably figure out the scale: Highly Recommended, Recommended, Okay, Not Recommended. Pretty simple… Links to the writeups are provided where available. I’ve tried to use the more colloquial names for Buenos Aires neighborhoods rather than the official government designations.

Keep in mind that Argentina has been experiencing an annual inflation rate of 30-35% since the economic crash in 2001, so if you’re reading an older review, figure that prices double roughly every 2½-3 years.

One note for those visiting from abroad. Many restaurants in Buenos Aires, especially those out of the main tourism areas (Puerto Madero, San Telmo, Recoleta and Palermo), close for part or all of the month of January, and on many major national and Catholic holidays (e.g., very little is open in this city from Christmas Eve through New Year’s Day)/
