Casting a little flavor (and a few aspersions) on the world of food, drink, and life

Category: Restaurants

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.

Prix Fixe Lunch Deals

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

Recollect… The Pastry Shops

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

Another Quartet of Minis

Time for another round-up of some spots to grab a bite, but that for now, I’m not giving a full review for one reason or another. I’ve noticed that over the last year and a bit a sudden spate of openings of new cafes and pastry shops and bakeries here in my neighborhood. And it’s… Read More Another Quartet of Minis

92 Bus, Stops 32 – 37

Oh do we have a range of pizzas, both in style and quality this time around, as we pick up crossing the border between Flores and Floresta from where we left off not far from Plaza Pueyrredón. Just a few steps further along Av. Rivadavia and on the opposite side of the street (which technically… Read More 92 Bus, Stops 32 – 37

Una Experiencía of the Argentine

For the last couple of years I’ve been hearing about another restaurant a puertas cerradas that focused on the classics of local cuisine – empanadas and steaks. 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

92 Bus, Stops 28 – 31

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

Four Bites

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

Old City Pizzeria

Once upon a time there were five singing maidens living on a flowered island in the sea who lured mariners to their death on the rock. We know them (at least any of us who’ve studied classic literature) as the sirens, and one of them was named Partenope. Her main claim to fame was that… Read More Old City Pizzeria
