Restaurant & Bar Reviews

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.

As we were staying at the Hotel Madero seemed only right to check out the in house restaurant of celebrity chef Stephen Jung.We had the salmon and tuna and when they heard part of our group had a gluten allergy the promptly accommodated with a sushi menu. It was ok but nothing to write home about. The one thing that is really good though is the cocktail ‘Un Hombre’. The drink is sweet and almost like a dessert by itself.

Le dOMe at the Four Seasons is one of the most sophisticated bars in Buenos Aires. A place where local power brokers would meet but thank god just as comfortable with me in my shorts (they are very nice shorts though).Grab a seat at the bar lean back and look up at the dome after which the restaurant is named. If you do not feel sick from being light headed tuck into the salmon burger. Absolutely brill. The wine list is first rate and of course the service is great. Make a reservation at Le dOMe

Free wi-fi and a great soundtrack (not what I expected at all) made this the ultimate lunch experience.

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.

After swearing never to come back to this seaport area eatery I was pleasantly surprised on my last visit that it really had changed. Located above the famed Louis of Boston it has the feel of a very hip diner. Overlooking the harbor and downtown the views can be really spectacular. Service has really improved and the food is great. They worked to provide adjusted menu items for gluten and dairy intolerance. I had the the steak tartar which was excellent and the (steak frites) hanger steak which I would prefer with fries rather than the farro they came with. We also had the radicchio salad and seared scallops which were prepared without dairy/gluten yet both were delectable. Wine selection is good but be prepared to buy bottles as by the glass is limited. I enjoyed a japanese beer ‘Asahi’. Diners get 2 free hours parking which is brill and the bar area has a great TV. When the weather permits the outside deck is really pleasant. Overall well worth a visit.

Latest offering from Jody Adams of Rialto fame. Cool architecture similar to that of Albert Dock in Liverpool . Great view of Occupy Boston tented village.Allagash White beer very good. Tasted the Gotham Project Cabernet, a wonderful peppery wine on tap from the Finger Lakes in NY. Skirt steak and fries excellent for 21 bucks. Will return

Book your reservation using the Trade website or UrbanSpoon.

Others in the party tasted the mushroom soup and brussel sprouts, both were gluten and dairy free. Vegetarians be aware the mushroom soup uses a chicken stock. The staff at Trade were proactive in providing a menu with identifiers of GF for Gluten Free and DF for Dairy Free.

Enjoy some fine dining at Fleming’s Steak House in Boston, great steak and seafood dishes. They have an extensive gluten free menu and are amenable to accommodate any allergies. The wine selection is great, we tasted: ‘Three Saints’, ’14 Hands’ and ‘Catena’ all were great! They also had a few favorites of mine ‘Two Hands, McLaren Vale’, ‘Orin Swift, The Prisoner’, Stags’ Leap Petite Syrah’ and ‘Ravenswood, Zinfandel’ can’t wait to come back! Check out the Fleming’s website for monthly deals, menu and to make a reservation.

Great prices on great wines every time we shop at this place which was recommended by Keith and Dideo of DanceBeat magazine.
Located at 1328 Alton Road or try their W Wine Boutique website

Great garden style dining, you can have a deluxe lunch or dinner here, or opt for an appetizer and cafe latte, their biscotti is to die for, they won’t let you take it home though so eat up!

Irish coffee off the scale. Jameson 12 year old whisky, fresh whipped cream ,sugar, coffee and a small hint of cinnamon . This was a small meal by itself.On a par with the Rey Juan Carlos in Barcelona . Pleasantly surprised by the gluten free salmon,very tasty. Free wi-fi. Ask at bar for code.

A trip to Buenos Aires isn’t complete
