Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.
I promised, and I’m delivering, as did several local spots. We may not be able to go out to eat at restaurants, but I’m also not going to give up on both trying new spots (or re-trying old ones). We’re aiming for delivery roughly twice a week – usually once for lunch, once for dinner.… Read More More From Outside the Qasa
Today, something you haven’t seen in over three months. Restaurants! Bet you were beginning to think that would never happen again. No, we haven’t entered the latter phases of re-opening, in fact, effective today, we here in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, are back under stricter quarantine rules due to a spike in area cases.… Read More From Outside the Qasa
I probably wouldn’t have done another Bite Marks so soon after the last, splitting things up into various categories, except… well… coronavirus. Not me. But, I’d venture that there’s not going to be a lot of going out over the next weeks. We’re awaiting an announcement from President Fernandez that leaked info says is going to be… Read More Bite Marks #81
That occasional round-up of places that are, likely, one time visits, or just haven’t fit in elsewhere…. Shall we start from the bottom of the barrel and work our way up, ending on a positive note? Mula, Av. Gral. Las Heras 2061, Recoleta. Taking over the spot recently vacated by our neighborhood Subway, and looking… Read More Bite Marks #80
A trio of spots worth your time. Neko Sushi, Juan Ramirez de Velasco 471, Villa Crespo. This one popped on the radar as something different in the sushi world, because their focus, the claim is, is on “sustainable fishing” and not aqua-farmed. So they don’t work with the ubiquitous aqua-farmed salmon. So, putting that… Read More Where to Eat #10
2020 is the year of the parrilla, the steakhouse, the grill, the slip a beef on the barbee…. There, I’ve declared it. Might not come to anything, but hey, it’s something to work on. The plan is for more Steak Scrolls to come. Lo de Rosendo, Castro Barros 502, Almagro – On walking in you… Read More The Steak Scrolls III
The hottest spots we’ve found out and about in our gastronomic adventures in Buenos Aires…. Madri, mercado de tapas, Carranza 1859, Palermo – We approached this place on a Sunday with a touch of trepidation. The enticing website gave it the look of a place likely to do some serious damage to our wallets. I… Read More Moving Tapas & Moved Noodles
No, this isn’t a sappy post-Valentine’s Day write-up, though Henry and I had a lovely dinner out two nights before for our 15th Anniversary. For V-Day, we worked. No, it’s that… finally… Finally… FINALLY… someone has opened a dim sum parlor in Buenos Aires. Not just the few dishes offered up at Cinco Corderos, Hong Kong Style… Read More Touch My Heart in BA
