Buenos Aires eats

[many thanks to Cyrus Sarmadi; click on restaurant names below for additional reviews of these & similar restaurants]

Rio Alba, Avenida Cervino 4499, Buenos Aires, Capital Federal, Argentina, (54-11) 4773 9508


This is a local favorite, I don’t expect you’ll find many tourists there. The atmosphere is casual. The steak is the best that I’ve had so far in Argentina, the salad was very fresh as well.

Sarkis, Thames 1101 at Jufré, Villa Crespo, Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, (54-11) 4772-4911


This Armenian restaurant is in Palermo Hollywood. It had some really delicious Mediterranean dishes. I would get a combination of platters like kabob, hummus, olives, tabouli salad, and so on (they have non-meat selections also). They only take cash.


Tegui, Costa Rica 5852, Buenos Aires; (54-11) 5291-3333


This is a fusion restaurant in Palermo Hollywood. The food was good (small portions though) although a bit pricey, the atmosphere is very contemporary, and the service was OK.
