A recent return to La Birra Recoleta. This is the “Lover Burger”. I’ve been on a bit of a “pickle burger” kick recently, and so I just asked the guy at the counter which burger would be the best for that. He started with this one, though pointed out there were several that included pickles. But the jaw dropping part for Buenos Aires was the off-hand comment, “of course, we can just add pickles, or extra pickles, to any burger on the menu, you can do that with any of our toppings”. What? In Buenos Aires? Add things to your burger to get it your way? These guys would win my vote just for that.

But better, is that unlike that first visit when they first opened a year or so ago, the burger is on point, like the original location, and even the fries are back up to snuff. The Lover Burger, by the way, is a double patty, topped with bacon, emmenthal cheese, red onions, crispy onions, pickles (and extra pickles at my request), and aïoli. What’s not to like?
