    Food & Drink Sorrento, Puerto Madero

    An elegant place, where they serve you well, and are always available for any matter. The food is excellent, really when I say that the spinach ravioli with capresse sauce are the best, and the gnocchi are well prepared, you can tell they are made with potatoes 👌. Abundant portion (filling)...

    Trip Reports What to add to Buenos Aires trip?

    I'd bop over to Uruguay. Colonia is not very interesting, it's historical as an early colony, but Montevideo is much more interesting. You can drop into Colonia on the ferry so it might be worth a look see. Its a UNESCO world heritage site, so I knocked that one off my list. Iguazu is amazing...

    Food & Drink Mostaza, burger

    I have a place close to home. An inexpensive place to go in passing. A large combo with a drink and large fries is about 4/5 dollars.

    Food & Drink Cafe de Los Angelitos

    A place and an experience not to be missed. It is a must stop. Dinner, with a closed menu designed especially for tourists, is quite good. We tried two of the three options available and both were quite decent. Now, the tango show is simply awesome. They offer a pick-up or cab service to the...

    You can go as you wish but the only dress-up occasion I can think of would be a Gala performance night at the opera.

    Trip Reports Best area to stay (for us)?

    We thoroughly enjoyed San Telmo. Its historical charm and uniqueness stood out, definitely steering clear of the high-rise and flashy atmosphere. It proved to be a haven for food enthusiasts, offering an array of fantastic restaurants and vibrant markets. Additionally, its proximity to the...

    Newcomer Don Julio or La Cabrera ?

    You're looking for La Choza de Gascon, situated on the corner of Calle Gascon and Aráoz in Palermo. During our last visit, a local Argentine family at the neighboring table kindly cautioned us not to over order due to the generous portions. They were absolutely right my wife ordered a bife de...

    Newcomer Don Julio or La Cabrera ?

    I would recommend Don Julio over these two well known restaurants. The availability of reservations might play a role in your decision. Previously, La Cabrera was more accessible without a reservation, especially if you arrived when they opened. However, I'm not sure if that still holds true...
