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 some lunches out and about with an eye to the possibility of future full on reviews. First off, a trip to San Telmo for a good-bye lunch with friend Ronica of Indian cooking fame as she heads back for nicer weather in Toronto and a rekindling of her divans up there. Lucky Toronto folk!… Read More Trio of Minis
Another month has up and gone and it seems like all we did was work, work, work. I’m definitely ready for a little vacation time coming up in mid-May. Between laboring and, generally, sucky weather, I didn’t spend a lot of time out and about this last month, so little to note… But, edging into… Read More April Showers…
As I said in yesterday’s post, there’s just so much pizza one can eat, and I’ve got to mix it up a bit. I’d decided to also get back to searching out those lovely little parrilladas de pescados y mariscos, seafood mixed grills. I’d originally not thought it to be a particularly large category of… Read More Basque in the Spotlight
It’s always nice to know that people are hanging on your every word. Really, it is, right? Perhaps not every word, but it’s going on a month since I last posted in this series, and some of you are just not standing for it. I’ve gotten half a dozen e-mails asking when I was going… Read More 92 Bus, Stops 14 – 16
It was one of those short periods where everything kind of happened all at once. Not only did we have a full complement of dinners the last two weeks, but, let’s see… We had Descubre Perú, El Dí del Gourmet, BA Food Week, La Semana del Malbec (and El Día del Malbec), and La Primera… Read More Week o’Culture
Oh, what does it stand for? Thank God It’s Peruvian Fusion. But I’m not thanking any deity, it’s more of a comparison, because just this last week I’ve endured the TGI Friday’s equivalent in the Peruvian fusion world and its name is Mullu, Pasaje Ricardo Rojas 451 in Retiro. I’m not going to be popular… Read More TGIPF
It truly doesn’t seem like it’s been four years since our visit to Astrid & Gastón, Lafinur 3222, Palermo chico, 4802-2991, for their opening celebrations dinners, but apparently it has been. And, tellingly, we haven’t been back in all that time. But recently I’d heard that they’d brought in a new chef who had revamped… Read More A&G Four Years On
I’m always up for good pasta, it’s easily my favorite food in the world when made right, cooked right, and sauced right. So along with searches for pizza along bus routes and heaping platters of grilled seafood, why not add in a quest for really decent pasta in Buenos Aires? You’d think it wouldn’t be… Read More Little Trees and Soft Voices
