‘From the moment you arrive, you know that Sucre is innovative, striking, and refreshingly unique. Before you taste the food, in fact, before you even look at the menu, Sucre’s interior design, which you might call a sort of “polished or refined industrial” (complete with exposed girders and pipes) sets the tone of the place. Chef and owner Fernando Trocca takes a creative approach with respect to his dishes, turning the ordinary into extraordinary by adding a personal flare and some theatrics to what would otherwise be common dishes. For example, the “bloody mary” ceviche is one of a kind. For the wine aficionado, Sucre is also the place for you, as the wine list is extensive and impressive.

Originally from Lima, Osaka opened a BA location in 2005, and has been a favourite here ever since. The cuisine is best described as “Asian/Peruvian Fusion”; Osaka offers a remarkable dining experience by creatively combining culinary traditions from opposite ends of the earth. It is especially well known and recognized as first-rate for its phenomenal sushi, but after you take even a cursory look at the menu, you realize that top-notch sushi is just the tip of the iceberg. Salmon with passion fruit, slow cooked octopus with kalamata olive sauce, and flounder with a chilli/cilantro/lime glaze, are just a few examples of the unique offerings you can expect to find on the menu. The combination of what one visitor called Osaka’s “fun urban vibe” and its truly unmatched creative blend of Asian and Peruvian cuisines, guarantees not only a delicious meal, but also a one-of-a-kind experience.

A first class Argentine Parilla, La Cabrera offers an expansive variety of dishes, however, try to agree with someone else and share one dish. A half portion is much more appropriate for one person. Even if you are a big eater with an insatiable appetite, take our advice because in addition to an enormous serving, many delicious appetizers and side plates just arrive on the table. Also, because the actual space is not very large, be sure to make reservations in advance.

This tiny restaurant is exactly what one would expect to find in Italy, and has been described as unique and impossible to recreate or imitate. The food is served according to the motto of ci penso io which means that they just bring out food and as the patron you have the opportunity to taste a number of dishes, all of great quality.

Green Bamboo’s original ambience complete with low tables, cushions, and creative decorations allows for a truly authentic Vietnamese feeling- right up to the giant Buddha that sits on the bar looking towards the front door. But its not just Green Bamboo’s appearance that sets it apart from the crowd; the food is unlike anything offered anywhere else in the city. Everything on the menu carefully combines flavours and arrives beautifully presented. The bar is also something that should not be missed during a stay in Buenos Aires; the cocktails are all delicious and very well made.

Casa Cruz is the most daring and imaginative restaurant venture to ever hit this city. Head chef German Martitegui calls the cuisine “Modern Urban Argentinian”, and due to his talent Casa Cruz is without a doubt one of the top spots in BA. Every night the crimson dining room is completely full of A-listers enjoying rabbit medallions on raison puree, poached lamb tenderloin, or truffle oil risotto, pickled peaches and duck confit. For a more laid back experience (but equally delicious cuisine), Martitegui also runs “olsen” a Scandinavian inspired restaurant with a beautiful patio and garden which offers a more casual menu.

Often frequented by the young trendy and sophisticated, Mute has become a must for a BA visit. The food is impressive with an ample selection, but the main attraction is the drinks, DJs and music that begin towards the end of dinner time. We especially recommend Mute on Wednesday nights- after dinner time, head over to Las Cañitas for great cocktails and amazing music.

Located in hip Puerto Madero overlooking the river, El Clan is the perfect setting for dinner or drinks outside on the terrace. The cuisine offered is exquisite- the pastas, fish, and meats are all prepared beautifully. After dinner the restaurant becomes a favourite bar, and plays rock music mixed with electronica beats.
