OK.. just to confirm, the date for this Do is set for June 25th (Thursday).

As for the Venue... I would suggest doing Dinner at Pura Tierra. This is a great restaurant in Belgrano, and I can arrange to have the corkage fee waived for the couple of bottles of Spoof Juice I will be bringing for us to drink.

Pura Tierra specializes in modern Argentine cuisine... which basically means its a fusion of various European Culinary Influences (French, Italian, Spanish, etc.) but based around traditional Argentine ingredients. What does this boil down to.... well if you are a fan of dead cow, or fancy some fresh fish, or maybe small birds, or lamb... or rabbit...? And yes, pasta lovers will also have something on the menu to please you.

Chef and owner Martin Molteni is at the helm (and in the kitchen)... and I assure you he is a master of his trade. Prices are not inexpensive for EZE standards, but the various touches of the food and service and IMHO well worth it. Current cost estimate for a three course meal + coffee is approx. AR$120-140 per pax.

Im certainly open to suggestions if folks would like to offer alternatives.

Here is the website for Pura Tierra (they are working on a new version).

Fabulous to hear the 25th June works for all!

I'm landing on LAN at AEP from COR at 1805 so should be able to get somewhere central soon after checking into the hotel I'm staying in that night, which is La Cayetana in Monserrat but should be able to get that done fairly quickly. What time do the mini-Do's usually start/end?

Im thinking to book the table for 830pm... so I would guess we would be calling it a night sometime around 1130 or midnight at the latest.

Here is the link to the thread on Community:

Feel free to post your confirmations on that thread... ^

Sounds perfect.
I'm happy to go along with your choice of dining establishment Gaucho100K. Being out in the "sticks" my knowledge of BsAs eating places is pretty poor to be honest.

Then the timing should work for me, of course barring anything unforseen. I'll add my name to the Community thread and look forward to meeting everyone who can make it.

I've been wanting to try that place, but I misunderstood, I thought we were talking about July 25. We won't be back from Seattle until June 28

Pura Tierra sounds great.^ You're the expert.

OK great.... ^

Ouch !!! No chance you can change the return dates, or....?

Folks... Hiddy just reminded me that I had forgotten to invite one of the board regulars.... if you come across someone that is EZE based and Ive not invited... please go ahead and spread the word... I guess my memory is not what it used to be...

The spoof juice sounds great! And the restaurant's a good choice too.

So John.... will you be joining us then...?

Great idea and Pura Tierra is on my list of restaurants still to visit so would love to come but am currently in London. Will be returning to Bs As sometime mid-late June - not sure of the exact return date yet. Will definitely come along if I'm back in time.
