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.
Just time for another little mini roundup of dining out and dining in, actually, mostly dining in. And then I have a couple of full reviews coming down the ‘pike, so to speak. About five years ago one of the local sommeliers that I got to know casually back when I was participating in the… Read More Four Meals, Just Me in Common
Enough of a break from pizza eating, right? After all, it’s pizza! We pick up in Velez Sarsfield and continue on into Parque Avellaneda, and maybe even just edging into Mataderos, which will be our last barrio headed this direction on the 92 bus pizza trek. We begin just a block further on from our… Read More 92 Bus, Stops 41-43
One of the first places I ate at after moving to Buenos Aires, and the first “fancy” place, was Tomo I (“Take 1”), Carlos Pellegrini 521 in the Panamericano Hotel, right by the Obelisco.

So when Henry recommended that we pop in to Los Trujillanitos, Corrientes 3564… Read More A Little Northern Peruvian
Continuing my stroll through Palermo Botanico’s Little Italy, last time we left off with a critique of the mediocre Annetta. This time, we hit a branch of the small chain of Italian joints I’ve checked out before, with a stop in at La Parolaccia Casa Tua, Ceviño 3561. Now, I’ve been to a couple of… Read More Next Up in Little Italy
We’ve all read the stories about how Peruvian-Japanese fusion, i.e., Nikkei cuisine, is the hot ticket of the moment. It’s taking the world by storm, and it’s a well-deserved spread of a fantastic cuisine, but, like most storms it will spawn smaller ones, and at some point, blow itself out. Here at Casa S we’ve… Read More In the Seed of a Chili
A round-up of the places we ate at in Ushuaia that are worth mentioning for one reason or another. I’m leaving out grabbing sandwiches at the very cool Xpresso Café Gourmet (Laserre 108 just off San Martín), where we also tended to grab excellent coffee in the morning; a couple of late night snacks on… Read More Ushuaia Eats
