Best Bets on Restaurants in Buenos Aires!
Having lived in Buenos Aires for quite some time now I thought I would share my personal top rated restaurants! After a rewarding day at Elebaires, with my Spanish constantly improving, what better way to kick back than to enjoy a lovely meal out in a city known for its relentless devotion to food.
THE OFFICE (Arévalo 3031). (Only open for dinner). If you are up for a relaxed evening vibe then you’ve got the right place. In honesty, although a simple and cheap place, the setup is great. Relax on the open roof terrace watching a film on the cinema screen, whilst enjoying a top gourmet homemade burger; the restaurants specialty. If you have room for more, then order the renowned cheesecake to finish off! I recommend going there on a Monday to take advantage of the 50% discount on burgers.
GREEN BAMBOO (Costa Rica 5802). Since being in Buenos Aires, I have found Asian restaurants particularly hard to come by and eventually I came across this little gem of a Vietnamese restaurant! The atmosphere here is fantastic; low lighting and always buzzing with people. The whole vibe is extremely relaxed; the crowds sitting on cushions around small low tables. Be sure not to let the evening pass without having a cocktail (the caipirinhas de maracuya here are amongst the best I have had!).
CASA CRUZ (Uriarte 1658). If you’re looking for something more chic then this is the place to go. As one enters through the enormous gold clad doors you know that you are in for an exclusive night. The menu is ambitious and presented with perfection. If you are a fish fan then the sea bass is divine! One thing instantly noticeable is the warm welcome and fabulous service that you receive from the staff.
LAS CABRAS (Fitz Roy 1795). I could not refrain myself from mentioning Las Cabras – an absolute winner – incredibly cheap with huge portions. The parillas here are amongst the best, as are the quesadillas. If you are dining out in a large group then I suggest you come here as many of the dishes are to share, the service is quick and in general it’s a great place to enjoy with friends. I would mention that it is worth getting there early doors as otherwise you are bound to have to queue for a while and it is not possible to book.
EXPERIENCIA DEL FIN DEL MUNDO (Honduras 5673). As with Casa Cruz this is another smart and charming restaurant, particularly good for its wines. The friendliness of the staff and the excellent service is instantly striking. Their specialties, amongst many, are the salmon, lamb and their beautifully cooked risotto all presented perfectly.
I could go on and on about my favorite places to go but these few I hope are bound to impress in their little unique ways!
