Everyone has their favourite eats under $50 (under $40 if you can!) in the city, we're looking for some new ones.
Here's a few of ours (bear in mind prices have increased lately, so wine may put the bill over, but at the following two people can eat well with one bottle of wine, one of water, and either a shared appy + 2 mains, or 2 mains + shared dessert for under 100 pesos easily)
Prepare to Wait:
Las Cholas -- Las Canitas
With their parrillada completa and reasonably priced wines, you can go home full and satisfied for less than $35 a head. Try their sister restaurants Las Cabritas as well.
La Rondinella (Cantina) -- Collegiales
Join the line of pensioners (even at 11:30pm) and have a great meal. The trucha a la manteca negra is recommended here (as much as fish can be recommended in a city that doesn't do it that well)
Neighbourhood Standouts:
Sudeste (Bajo de San Isidro)
Worth the drive, the food is fresh, well prepared, and delicious. They do not charge a large margin on wines. Bring your own bottle and pay a descorche only. A nice romantic dinner in a rustic house -- be sure to bring CASH, credit cards not accepted and it's a long drive to the nearest bank machine!
Salgado Alimentos (Villa Crespo)
Former fabrica de pastas, simple, delicious food. Indulge in the chocatorta.
El Club de la Milanesa (Bajo Belgrano y Palermo Hollywood, there may be other locations)
Everything Milanesa, don't bother if you don't like milanesas!
La Celeste (Palermo Hollywood)
Best mollejas I've had in a long time -- nice and crispy with lots of lemon. Separate smoking and non-smoking restaurants side by side.
For set lunches:
Social Paraiso (Palermo)
Sudestada (Palermo Hollywood)
Nice set menus for lunch at each, though their evening menus are very pricey.
I hope some others can add their favourites so we can try something new! You can find the info for all of the above places on Guia Oleo
