Tandoor is the only Indian restaurant in Buenos Aires that has a sophisticated, upscale ambience, including candlelight. Execution of a traditional Indian menu is excellent. So is the service. Price are reasonable. Lunch prices are better than reasonable.
Aldo’s – Buenos Aires offers a full menu in it’s Palermo Hollywood restaurant and a limited menu in Aldo’s Wine Bar on República Árabe Siria in Nuevo Palermo. The restaurant boasts a sophisticated décor, first-class service, and reliable execution of a small but appealing menu designed around many of the wines lining the restaurant’s walls. The restaurant in both Palermo locations doubles as a wine shop.
Napoles, despite having an impressive decor that’s filled with authentic antiques and relics, falls short on service and execution of the menu featuring Italian cuisine, mostly pasta and pizza. Still worth a visit for a simple meal. Avoid the dishes with seafood and the pizza.
Saigón brings fast-casual dining with fairly authentic flavors from Southwest Asia in the form of spicy noodle soups and salads to San Telmo and Retiro at extremely affordable prices. One of the best choices downtown for lunch.
Che Taco is the best spot in Buenos Aires for authentic Mexican cuisine in a colorful, albeit somewhat disheveled atmosphere. Tacos, burritos, enchiladas, sopes, and nachos. Corona or Sol beer. They even have tequila.
La Choripanería serves up … you guessed it … choripanes, the Argentine sausage sandwich. It was a sweet, grilled, peppery sausage with a great little relish and hot sauce in a bit bowl. Yum.
