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.

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.

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.

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
without a visit to the Alvear Palace.
