Puerto Cristal – Buenos Aires
Seafood restaurant in Puerto Madero. Unfortunately there were lapses of execution on a recent visit. Expensive with a lack of creativity.
Sarkis – Buenos Aires
Excellent renditions of middle-eastern cuisine at reasonable prices make Sarkis the most popular ethnic cuisine restaurant in Buenos Aires. What its lacking in decor and average service, it makes up for with a creative menu full of classic Armenian recipes.
Sottovoce – Buenos Aires
This is classic Italian cuisine in a fairly traditional setting on the boardwalk on Puerto Madero. Ambiance is nice but a bit sterile. Service was spot on. Our appetizers on a recent visit were disappointing though. The main course dishes and desserts were better but still missing that element that elevates a meal to something that is truly memorable.
Status – Buenos Aires
Average food with average service in a less than average setting. Lunch menu at Olaya in Palermo Hollywood is an immensely better choice for Peruvian.
Taco Box – Buenos Aires
Tacos. That’s about it. But they’re pretty darn good and cheap when you order a tray of six. Frozen margaritas are good too. One of the better spots for casual eat and drink outing in Palermo Hollywood.
Hierbabuena – Buenos Aires
Look up "cute little bakery and bistro" in the Encyclopedia Britannica and you’ll see a photo of Hierbabuena. This place is just cool. Just moved to the top spot for Sunday Brunch just barely edging out our former favorite, Uco in Palermo Hollywood. Hierbabuena is a "must-go" for breakfast and lunch.
