That reads a bit confusing - $300 per person? Just confirming.

Visiting BsAs in early 2012 and browsing through different Internet sites and travel books to come up with a few, supposedly nice Argentine restaurants:

· Cabaņa las Lilas
· La Caballeriza
· Siga la vaca
· Rodizzio
· La Cabrera
· La Cabrera Norte

I read a few comments about las Lilas here, any suggestions regarding the others or any others that are not on the "list"?

Thanks.

For good Italian, try Sotto Voce. I usually stay in the Recoleta area and go to the one on Libertador.

Please forget Siga La Vaca.... quality is not right...

Also, forget Cabania Las Lilas... overpriced tourist trap.

Rodizio is OK, but leave that for a Brazil trip... the concept is not Argentine.

And yes, Sotto Voce is a great choice for Italian.

Thanks for the tips! Tentatively, I plan to stay at the Caesar Park, the one near Patio Bullrich shopping mall.

In that area, also stay clear of Piegari... another well known tourist trap.

Fervor....... high-end seafood & more in Recoleta. The concept is something like surf & turf on the Grill... interesting, excellent ingredients, very good service. Went there yesterday for dinner with friends. Quite Expensive for EZE standards, but worth it... ^

I cant believe the reviews on Oleo.... what rubbish is written there.

Will post a detailed report later.

Itīs probably just me but I do like Piegari. I agree itīs expensive for EZE, noisy, service so so, but the 5 or 6 times I ate there always had good food ( I specially like the boquerones ).

As I normally stay at the Caesarīs Park I tend to walk to the restaurants there ( El Mirasol, Piegari ) or eat a few empanadas at the Sanjuanino.

The walking distance from the hotels in the area is a huge plus to many visitors.... I dont disagree with you on the food quality of Piegari, its just that this comes in the package that you describe and there are so many other better Italian options in town. Alas, whats important is that visitors are happy and you have enjoyed your past visits to Piegari and that is the only thing that matters... ^

One of the things I really enjoy most at Piegari is they hand out these A4 sized bills ( that you have to fold about 6 times to fit in your wallet ), that drive my financial dpt. quite mad

Restaurant suggestions in El Calafate & Ushuaia
Continuing my trip planning to Argentina in the new year and rather than starting a new thread as it is F&B related although not specific to BsAs.

I am looking for restaurant suggestions in El Calafate and Ushuaia as I shall be spending a few days in both cities.

Any recommendations greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
