General Restaurant Reports

[QUOTE=Thomaso276;430957]They are opening opposite Establo restaurant on my block. San Martin & Paraguay. I hear they are top shelf. Can anyone confirm?[/QUOTE]They have several locations and my experience has always been great! Pizza, like pussy, is a subject of broad debate; everyone knows just exactly what they want for a pizza. Alas, if you try it and don't like it I'll treat you to some other pizza joint next time I'm down. In the meantime, I promise one of their pizza will taste better than one of Ol' 9 Toe Moe's old chicas! Cheers

[QUOTE=Thomaso276;430957]They are opening opposite Establo restaurant on my block. San Martin & Paraguay. I hear they are top shelf. Can anyone confirm?[/QUOTE]It's not el Cuartito or guerron (I'm spelling that wrong, the other awesome place on corrientes between Uruguay and talcohuano) but its good. It's also cheaper. They have some great specials like two large muzzas, fiena, and coke for like 80, and two slices of muzza, fiena, and a glass of coke for around 25. Not great, not terrible, but consistently good, and nowhere near the wait of el Cuartito. Always worth the money in my XP.
Another good thing is they are usually open on holidays, though I don't know if microcentro ones will be.

Many years ago (2005?) I used to frequent the original Kentucky on the corner of Santa Fe and Godoy Cruz; that stopped after I got horrible food poisoning from their beef empanadas that ending up with me in the hospital requiring an IV to be rehydrated. I also remember their bathrooms being among the filthiest in the city.

You can take any menu from any Pizza place and it will work there. I'm sure!

One of the Best Pizza places is about a block from the AP house and it's called Pizza Piola.

I had no idea that it is a chain gang!

Let us know how it is or how it was! Dying to eat some Brisket and Ribs , Texas Style.

Thanks.

Don't go alone if you can help it.

It's sad but a 200 p dinner is out for me for now.

Hit the Tandoor restaurant Sat. Night with a fellow monger, it's on the corner of Laprida and Charcas, [URL]http://www.tandoor.com.ar/[/URL] reservations recommended as we were lucky to get a table when we arrived, many people were waiting when we left...roughly about 200 p each for appetizers, main course, paratha bread, and drinks.

Staying on Montevideo downtown BA, any restaurant recommendations that are close? Looking at Parrila Pena. Happy for Thai, Asado etc.

Restaurante Jose Luis..

Very good Spanish Seafood Resto about 2 blocks from the Recoleta Cemetary. (not in Almagro like some MORON wrote on Trip Advisor.).

The waitress showed us various cuts of fresh fish before we ordered and explained all of the options in full detail.

Extensive wine list.

English Menu.

Very nice courtyard with a waterfall and enough foliage to block out most of the Sun. (smokers can dine outside).

Spanish Pulpo being the most expensive item at $400.00 pesos.

Sea Bass maybe as low as 120 p. The same for the Pink Salmon.

When you get sick of steaks and fries you should check this place out.

Restaurante Jose Luis..

4 807. 0606.

Quintana 456 (at the end of the gallery.) In Recoleta.

Nice place to take a date too.

Even Cigar Eric would approve!

TL.

It's not possible to judge the food based on one meal (Suprema). Although the suprema was fine.

But what's really nice about this place is many outdoor tables. Across from a small park. And this section of Larrea doesn't seem to get much traffic. MUCH more pleasant then the few tables you find outside many restaurants on busy major streets.

Not far from the intersection of Las Heras and Pueyrredon.

Excellent Spanish Tapas Bar.

Downtown just a few blocks from the "Triangle.".

Best Garlic Shrimp in Town.

Spanish Octopus.

Nice Place!

Usually packed for lunch and Dinner. Very Nice Atmosphere.

I think that Tancat means "Closed" in Catalan .

Bob.[/QUOTE]Just ate here for the third and last time. The bife de chorizo I had was the toughest piece of meat I've ever had. The first two times I ate here I had suprema and papas fritas and those meals were fine.

I still think that the outside tables close to a park are nice.
