I love the fugazzetta at Güerrin, on Corrientes.

One of Buenos Aires's greatest strengths is that it is NOT Las Vegas. Of course, I could say that about any other city that is not Las Vegas as well.

agree! ... but food scene in Vegas still better than here, nonetheless.

Funny you mention it, Saturday night I had some excellent Peruvian food. I think my bias is swayed by the lack of good average Asian food compared to what I am used to.

What are good restaurants for Peruvian food?

What are good restaurants for Peruvian food?

The cheapest good Peruvian restaurant is Status, just a couple blocks from Congreso, but I have also heard good things about Chan Chan (on Mitre, if I recall correctly). Other good Peruvians, substantially more expensive, include Palermo's Bardot, Ceviche, and Astrid y Gastón (which now has a modestly priced midday lunch). I also like Belgrano's Contigo Perú and Lucumma. In all of these, pretty much, you have to request food to be prepared spicy - even if you tell them you can handle it, they probably won't believe you and you'll get something less than the "full peruano."
