Romario: Great Pizza
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Romario was a great place to eat. I came here with Sof my last evening in town on my most recent third trip for dinner. It was one of those things that just clicked. It was a Wednesday evening and I had not eaten since Tuesday lunch. I was beef’d out by that point having nothing but beef from Thursday evening to Tuesday lunch. I was in the mood for pizza. So when she asked if I wanted pizza for dinner I knew it would be great.
    We sat upstairs on the second floor here and shared a bottle of beer. It was a nice and relaxing evening in this busy but not terribly loud place. I highly recommend this place when you’re in Recoleta looking for pizza.

    We had a blue cheese pizza on half and the other half was plain or with olives. Not sure if the olives were on all pizzas or not. The blue cheese was surprisingly good. I will definitely order at least half the pizza this way again.

    El Pobre Luis: Not bad for group
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • El Pobre Luis was an ok place. Located out in Belgrano, it was a new area of town for me. When I arrived most of the group was there already. Had trouble getting a cab because of the rain that evening.
    I’d probably not come back here only because there are too many other places to try. It was good once. Just don’t think it rates a second trip.

    Sitting at a long table it was like several large meetings I’ve been to where you can really only talk to those immediately around you. I went with the Bife de Chorizo here. Was a good choice. Quite the good meal. Also had some of the salad and cheese appetizers.

    Arguibel: Ok place
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • This is the one place I did not get what I ordered. The group however was manageable in size and we enjoyed being in a more secluded part in the back. Usually doesn't sound like a plus but when you're a group its often nice and they did well to accommodate us.

    Friday night, Cow Do II

    I had some beef dish. I can’t tell you for sure because it was not the Bife de Lomo I had ordered. But it was good enough that I figured I’d not rock the boat. Nor did I want to wait any longer to eat.

    Sottovoce: Good Lunch
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Sottovoce is one of those places that I really like. It is more expensive than what I’d normally want to spend for a lunch in Buenos Aires but I enjoyed it so much that I’d go back. Probably hold off on the wine next time though as it was quite a bit more for that.

    I had the Steak with three-mustard sauce. I’d love to give you the Spanish name for it but they gave me an English menu and I was unable to get the answer. But I can tell you it was one of the best steaks I had during this third trip here. There is just something great about a mustard sauce for a steak.
    We had the Susanne B as the wine. They were getting 155 pesos for this bottle, which by all accounts should be in the 60 to 80 range. It was quite good though.
    For dessert I had an apple tart with cinnamon ice cream. That was surprisingly good. All in all it was quite the good lunch and I would come back again.

    El amanecer de Carlitos (best place in BA): Pancakes by an icon!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • This place is by far the best, nobody would disagree with me here, believe me.
    The story is this: there's a seaside resort in Buenos Aires called Villa Gesell (part of my summer memories from childhood come from there) where Carlitos (the owner of this place) started his business many many years ago. At the beginning the place was called "Carlitos" but some years later his brother, I think, opened a pancake place with the same name AND using the SAME recipe (bastard!!!!) so Carlitos changed the name of the place and called it "El amanecer de Carlitos". Why? 'Cos "El amanecer" is the brand of milk he uses to make the pancakes. In Buenos Aires there are pancakes places called Carlitos, so be careful! that's the competition!
    Now when you go to the one in V. Gesell or sometimes the one on Libertador ave. you will see Carlitos, a small old man ALWAYS wearing a red sailor hat. He's always either peeling potatoes or making pancakes :)

    Well, there are more than 100 combinations of pancakes (salty and sweet ones).
    Also you can eat hamburgers and fries. But make sure you have a dulce de leche pancake, if not you will never be able to say you've been there! That's THE one to eat. And if it's "quemado al rum"... much better!
    I would kill to get the recipe for the dough, it's so soft and foamy!!!

    Parada Norte: Local Lunch and Futbol
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Parada Norte has become something of an institution to my visits to Buenos Aires. This started on my very first trip when Mike and I would walk past it and notice people always in just hanging out during the day. Well we finally stepped in on our second to last day of that trip and each had a lomito completo and a couple of beers.

    During my more recent visits we’ve started the trip off with a meal here including my visit last week for Cow Do IV where 7 of us met up and got things started nicely.

    In the warmer months it is a nice place to sit outside and enjoy a lazy lunch.

    Lomito Completo. A full meal in itself. This steak sandwich has fries lettuce tomato and a fried egg on it. I'm sure not the healthiest of meals but it sure gave us the excuse to sit there and have another beer while we ate.

    Durng Cow Do IV this was our first meal. A few of us were hungry and decided to meet up here. I had my Lomito Competo of course. Rob had some pork dish with sweet potato puree. Liz wasn't that hungry and had the buenos Aires version of Apple Pie which was more like an Apple Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream.

    La Pergola de San Telmo: Typical portenio food
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Located at one of the most traditional neighborhood of Buenos Aires this is a typical portenio restaurant.
    Coal grilled meats, fish and pastas, with an old fashioned ambiance is an acceptable option if you are wandering by San Telmo watching tango dancers and Antiques shops.

    I can not say that I have a fave dish, but try with "Bife de Chorizo cocido a punto".

    Well well, here is one of the american style restaurants of B.A.
    Typical tex-mex foods, decorated with his own and inimitable style.
    Nice girls dressed like american waiters and red-white bars stamped on the tableclothes. Good kitchen and american ambiance beside the Rio de La Plata harbour, with a nice view to the old Argentine Navy frigate Sarmiento, refurbished and turned into a Navy Museum.
    Anyway, american friends, if you dont like our foods or if you want take a rest of our style, here is your choice.

    Pork ribs with hot sauce, try this with Warsteiner beer. Tasty

    El Sanjuanino: The King of Empanadas
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • No trip to Buenos Aires would be complete without a taste of a great empanada. And there is no better place to have one than the king of empanadas, El Sanjuanino, the restaurant owned by Enrique Baudonet. It's been open for 40 years now, and has a reputation of serving the fresh hot half-moon meat pies that are so popular to Portenos.

    I ordered the Pollo, Carne Picante, and Neopolitana from the English menu, and waited for the pies while nursing a Quilmes. All three types were excellent, with the Carne Picante being my favorite. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the service was friendly. It was raining on the day I ate here, and by the time I arrived -- cold and soaking -- Sanjuanino was like an oasis of great smells and smiling faces.

    The empanadas were between $1.50 and $3 pesos and from time to time they have wild game dishes as well.

    Open daily from noon to 1am
