Asia de Cuba is one of my fav places to eat in Los Angeles.
Located in the funky Mondrian hotel it offers inside and outside dining.
The food is Cuban fusion and is outstanding.
Calamari salad is the signature starter and is a must. It is a big portion so can be shared.
Tuna pica is also excellent.
The view of LA is incredible .
The mojitos are very good as well. Especially the mango .
Salmon was great.
So was Cuban chicken.
The steak was so good that I forgot to photograph it before I started eating.
The wild decor almost has an Alice in Wonderland feel.
While this is not a cheap place it is definately worth a visit.

Fig and Olive in Melrose Place is the latest offshoot of the famous NewYork
eaterie.It is well worth checking out the neighborhood as Melrose Place is really happening at the moment.
Decor is very cool and the outside tasting bar looks like a fun place to hang out.
Food was excellent.
Tuna carpaccio was so good nearly forgot to take a photo.
Tuna and scallop salad was also great.
Veal wonderful
So was the Branzini.
Coffee great as well.

Cluny, Buenos Aires

Cluny has become my Boston Navy Yard Bistro of Buenos Aires. The actual space is fantastic.Seems as if it was an old garage, part inside part outside.Staff are very attentive and the food is excellent. Salmon tartare, steak and grilled octopus cannot be beaten. Great wine list. You get the picture I really like this place. Go check it out and if you are really lucky you may even get to talk to the chef with the crazy Lancashire accent.

MOTT Buenos Aires

Do not be put off by the very naughty name (in British English).This is another one of “the” places to hang out.Located in the bohemian area of Buenos Aires,Palermo Soho , Mott is a big open space that just yells COOL.The bar is very well stocked and the caipirinhas will knock your head off.Smoked salmon sandwich is excellent and most of the food is locally sourced.Definitely worth a visit.

Gran Bar Danzon Buenos Aires

One of the great bars of the world which actually serves great food. Never been disappointed. I had the Mojito V. S. made witch Congac and topped with champagne, it is a must try if you stop in. The sushi was really good we had the California and Vegetarian rolls. Osso Bucco was outstanding along with the Salmon/Sole Ceviche. To follow suit with the overal Urban downtempo the wine list was presented on an iPad much to my entertainment. Make sure to make a reservation for Gran Bar Danzon prior to arriving. If you take a taxi to this hotspot be sure to tell them the entrance is 1161 Libertad between Santa Fe and Arenales or you may circle the block a few times as their is no sign. The vibe reminds me of Sonsie in Boston, always busy and great for people watching. Bar Danzon offers free wi-fi which is very handy when traveling abroad. By far a Buenos Aires must do.
