Cheers to all from a rainy EZE..... I wanted to share a practical example of what sort of Value for Money Buenos Aires currently offers. While it is only one data point, I think most of you will agree that is serves to exemplify the kind of 'gas mileage' visitors will be able to get out of an upcoming visit. This information is valid as per mid-October of 2020, with a USD to AR$ informal (blue market) exchange rate of AR$185 to the US Dollar.

Last Sunday was Mother's Day here in Argentina. Our two kids and I went out for Lunch with my Wife. We visited Unido, a Restaurant located just outside of Nordelta, the large Real Estate Development just North of the City. While its not a restaurant that tourists would normally visit, it shares the same target audience and its price range is in the same segment that many of the restaurants that cater to upscale Tourists - and are located in areas like Recoleta, Palermo, Puerto Madero will offer.

We had a long lunch, ordering a-la-carte. We had 5 (five) appetizers, 4 (four) main courses, and 3 (three) desserts. Beverages were one Beer (Corona), 4 house-made lemonades, 2 bottles of Bottled Water and 1 bottle of Sparking Wine (the second most expensive on the wine-list). We finished it off with 2 Nespressos.....

It was quite a lot of food... but I pigged-out and our 13 year-old has the appetite of 1.5 adult males (2 adults if I allow him to order as much as he wants). The Kid can eat !!!

The total bill was AR$11,400.- (gratuity not included)

Assuming an exchange rate of AR$185 Pesos, that comes out to $61 and change in US Dollars

Enough said. Time to plan your next trip to EZE.....
