Anything new In Buenos Aires?

[taystahl]

Hey everyone,

I spent a month in Buenos Aires last April and had a fantastic time hitting up some of the great restaurants that the city has to offer. 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!

This is a fairly recent link on BA's coolest & hipest & newest :

Thanks! So, I'm all set on Palermo now. Any info on some other 'hoods? San Telmo? Retiro? Puerto Madero?

[RicRios]

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

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...

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.

[RicRios]

I just got this special event menu from Thymus.
Not their regular menu, but probably helps.

[SusanB]

Thanks. We'll be in BA for a week in late Feb, so I think we'll drop by and check it out.

Not that I'm such a fantastic expert but during our week stay in Recoleta we went to Rodi Bar three times, La Cabana, La Chacra, and always went to La Biela for breakfast as their Chocolate Espanol is non pareil. 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.

In terms of new and really good - don't miss Tegui and PozoSanto. Others that have been around awhile but you may not have tried - Urondo, Pura Tierra, Maat - all excellent.
