While there, I went to all of the places listed below (among others that I can't recall off the top of my head): Chila La Vineria de Gualterio Bolivar Aramburu Defensa al Sur Cafe San Juan Les Anciens Combattants Sipan Mitico Sur Tancat Resto Thymus BoBo Duvall I'll be returning to BA in two weeks and would love to try some places that I didn't get to last time, or anything new and wonderful that has opened in the year + since my last visit. Any suggestions for new restaurants that are wowing, as well as any recent info on the restos listed above that might influence whether a return trip was warranted would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!

So, I'm all set on Palermo now. Any info on some other 'hoods? San Telmo? Retiro? Puerto Madero? Mon Nov 02 10:35:03 -0800 2009 5143539 191670 taystahl 3 5150042 I'd just skip Puerto Madero. Too artificial / touristy, at least for my taste. To consider: ( Balvanera? Monserrat? ) Centro Vasco Francés http://www.rvascofrances.com.ar/ Belgrano: Pura Tierra http://www.puratierra.com.ar Mon Nov 02 13:43:15 -0800 2009 5149344 28703 RicRios 4 5151600 Yeah, I'd tend to agree with you regarding Puerto Madero. The only reason that I listed it was because that's where I'll be staying... Tue Nov 03 06:45:20 -0800 2009 5150042 191670 taystahl 1 5150180 I'm curious about the menu and price range at Thymus - I've looked for their website, but it says that's it's under construction. So if you have any info, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Mon Nov 02 14:19:40 -0800 2009 5139782 16039 SusanB 2 5151532 I just got this special event menu from Thymus. Not their regular menu, but probably helps. Tue Nov 03 06:20:44 -0800 2009 5150180 28703 RicRios 3 5151655 Thanks. We'll be in BA for a week in late Feb, so I think we'll drop by and check it out.

I really liked all the restaurants on "Restaurant Row" along from the Biela. There was one German one that was great but I can't remember its name.

Others that have been around awhile but you may not have tried - Urondo, Pura Tierra, Maat - all excellent. Fri Nov 20 15:09:07 -0800 2009 5139782 30506 Casa SaltShaker
