Restaurants I recommend in BA
El Salto de las Ranas
Mexican Rodrigues Pena 1169 T 48112635 (AP$10 - $15 per dish)
Location - Barrio Norte (Rodrigues Pena con Santa Fe)
They know how to make Fajitas and offer a great mini margarita on the house which makes it very difficult not to choose one when it comes to ordering drinks!
BuddhaBA
Asian (has Japanese (no sushi), Thai, Taiwanese) (AP$15 - $25 per dish)
Arribenos 2288 T 4706 2382
Location - Belgrano
Take the train to from Retiro to Tigre (pay 50c), and get off at Belgrano, the second stop. Cross the tracks (right) and turn left, go past the various chinese stores and restaurants into the next block and it's at the end on the left hand side. Closed Monday www.buddhaba.com.ar has fabulous desserts! By the way, this street known as China Block is where you can get spices, coconut milk, great rice and all the things you thought you might find in a supermarket but don't
El Repecho
Parilla Carlos Calvo 242 San Telmo T 4361 1269 (AP$15 - $20 per dish)
A fabulous little place in San Telmo that closed for years and opened its doors again, in a little colonial building. Ate there with a friend on a Tuesday. It was totally empty and we wanted a place with a bit of atmosphere but stayed only because the waiter was such a great salesperson without being pushy. Despite there being only one other couple there all night it was well worth staying. They have a great second floor outdoor terrace which is apparently packed on weekends and Friday and Saturday night reservations are required. Weekdays it gets a good lunch crowd for business lunches but v quiet at night.
La Corte
Arevalo 2977 Las Canitas (Belgrano) T 47750999 (AP$10-15 starter - $20 approx main)
Contemporary cuisine (with Argentine influence!)Nice restaurant with good ambiance, menu quite interesting - I had a great meal (pork with bubble and squeak!).
Dada San Martín 941 (Microcentro) Tel. 4314-4787 (AP$10-25)
Great little place downtown, not sure when it closes but definitely open after midnight. V laid back, inexpensive and great food.
