hi guys
First time reading your comments and having been born and bred in buenos aires not surprised to see some of your recommendations and your hesitation about El cuartito (that pizza is too oily for my taste..) however let me make one thing clear: no porteño with pride will ever be seen buying food at the Coto counters. Coto is the cheapest, dirtiest of supermarkets and will never recommend any food from there, especially when you can get pasta at reasonable prices in most bares at lunchtime! Medialunas dej abuelo are industrially produced and full of trans fat – they never beat the local baker good medialuna de Manteca. Hope you find this useful!

Probably Paraje ArÃ©valo. It’s a very charm place in Palermo corner and food is amazing. They are very creative, they go beyond this PPP thing. Chefs worked at Mugaritz and Fat Duck, so they prepare more than steaks. 🙂

Not a coincidence it was the 1st place I wrote about Buenos Aires.

@Sarah: I like the PPP construct to describe food in Buenos Aires (or more generally, Argentina), though I suspect some beg to differ.

After all that time in Buenos Aires, I’m curious: what will be your final meal?

Hi guys,
I have been living in BsAs for 18 months and now leaving. Food here is good, but no great surprises! Everything is about PPP. Pasta, Parilla and Papa (potato). But there are some places that worth the visit.

@Fiona: Am really sorry to hear about your treatment (and your food result — that is really too bad, especially after all that wait) at La Cabrera. For steak, maybe check out Don Zoilo, El Caldon, or Parrilla Pena — details above. If you have some other Buenos Aires dining experiences that are worth sharing (or you’ve gone to the others that we recommended), please let us know. Let’s hope the next few make up for this one.
