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.
There will no doubt be more and more potential hotspots for really good hamburgers opening up in BA, so I have no doubt there will be further round-ups and the list will just keep getting longer! In response to my last round-up, someone from Dellepiane Bar, Pasaje Luis Dellepiane 685 in San Nicolas, not a… Read More Another Hamburguesa Round-Up
You already know how this works, so I’m going to just jump right in. Otaku has two locations in the city (plus three in the ‘burbs), one in Belgrano, and a new one that just took over the space vacated by Leandro Varela’s excellent, but short-lived bakery (after he closed down Due Resto Cafe, one… Read More Bite Marks #17
I don’t know why, but I had near baseline expectations for this place. There was something about the whole “Asian tapas”, the location, the ambiance, maybe even the name, that just had me avoiding setting foot in Sintesis, José León Pagano 2689, just barely inside the Recoleta line from Palermo. I was sure it was… Read More The Synthesis of Eastern & Western Thoughts
You may vaguely remember my mentioning Coya, Tucumán 874 in Centro, in regard to my search for a great ajiaco con conejo, or “chili rabbit”.

Instead, a laidback style of small plate eating – not quite tapas – somewhat like the “grazing” trend that took place in Europe and North America two decades ago,… Read More Medley of Small Plates
Step right up, it’s time for another peep at the good, the bad, the pretty and the ugly – this time, all really casual eats (though one rather expensive for casual), out and about. I’ve really got to “scribble” an updated list in my Google Keep or Evernote of Korean restaurants to try out in… Read More Bite Marks #15
Although I’m not particularly into the world of molecular gastronomy or modernist cooking, it’s still an interest on the level of intellectual curiosity. I’ve said before, I have no doubt that if I was a young chef coming up now, I’d be totally into it – I used to love science experiments and all that… Read More An Afternoon of This
It’s a rarity that I get to try out another puertas cerradas here, but on a recent Saturday, we awoke to find that six out of eight people had cancelled overnight, for differing reasons, leaving us with just two folk attending – luckily they were flexible with timing and could come another night. Henry decided… Read More Buenos Aires Palate
