Heading to BA - Need Help Narrowing Restaurant List
I've spent a fair amount of time reading posts for BA and have put together an initial list of places. I’m starting to feel a bit overwhelmed on selection. Also, several of the posts were about a year old so not sure if the quality of some of these places are still good.
Any thoughts in helping to narrow the list would be greatly appreciated.
• Thymus
• La Cabera
• The Standard
• Mot
• Sirop
• Novocento
• Las Cholas
• Carlos Calvo
• Social Paraiso
• Olsen
• Casa Cruz
• El Obrero
• Sucre Restaurant
• Grand Bar Darzon
• Rodrigo Toso Café
• El Trapiche

Excellent! Will I'll be there in a month and will post back what I find. Hopefully, someone else will respond before I go so the list will be narrowed a little more.

Just returned. What a great city. I am afraid we didn't go to any of your choices, but will add two to consider: Francis Mallman's Patagonia Sur (my husband said it was the best steak, besides Peter Luger's in NY, he'd had)--but beware, it is really expensive, NY prices; and Casa Felix, a wonderful pescetarian supperclub in a private home.
Regarding your list, I can tell you that chef Diego Felix of Casa Felix said he loves Social Paraiso for real local food and atmosphere.

We are going to BA in late February and I'm definitely planning to book Casa Felix. I read about it earlier this year, and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it.

I'd add La Cabana in Recoleta and Cafe Tortoni downtown ,- you really have to see it it's fabulous. Two other cafes I love are Violetas (with lovely flowery stained glass although I don't like the waiters there!) and La Biela which has the best Chocolate Espanol in town.
