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.
The last two weeks there was a minor buzz out there for “BA Food Week” (which should have had an “s” on the end, but doesn’t). It’s an annual event that started I think just a couple of years ago where various restaurants in town offer up a prix fixe lunch and/or dinner at a… Read More Prix Fixe Lunch Deals
I mentioned recently that there are a whole lot of new cafes and bakeries that have opened up all within a few blocks of home here in Recoleta. It’s a conspiracy against keeping the weight off, I tell you. I do like my coffee with a little something sweet on the side. Or is it… Read More Recollect… The Pastry Shops

Originally it was located somewhere near us in Recoleta, but it seemed vague and mysterious, and no one seemed to know a lot about it, just that it… Read More Una Experiencía of the Argentine
It’s been a bit over a month and I’m sufficiently ready to set forth once again and continue the quest along the 92 bus route for pizza perfection. At the beginning of July we left off just after entering barrio Flores, and this time picked up at Plaza Pueyrredón along Av. Rivadavia. With the luck… Read More 92 Bus, Stops 28 – 31
A foursome of mini-reviews playing through… One of the first nights after getting back from La Paz I needed a sushi fix. A new branch of Sensei Sushi just opened up nearby at Arenales 2019, in a spot that was a short-lived mistake of a coffee house (their specialty was the infamous kopi luwak coffee,… Read More Four Bites
