In no particular order and preference: Cabanas Las Lilas (Puerto Madero) Parilla 1880 (San Telmo) Sucre Los gatos (Puerto Medero) In Cataratas (a.k.a Foz de Iguassu) depends on which side you will be staying ? In the Argentinian...

I have found that Cabana Las Lilas is a bit over-rated as it is somewhat inconsistent. My personal favorite (and you won’t find any tourists there) is La Brigada in San Telmo. You won’t find better beef anywhere (they...

My favorites were La Cuchara de San Telmo in San Sebastian and Cal Pep in Barcelona, both low attitude places with high-end food. And the are both really tiny places, too, but personal space is always compromised in Spain,...

&bot_buscar.x=22&bot_buscar.y=3 San Telmo is the old part of town and there are lots of traditional bars and restaurants there (El Federal, Seddon, Británico, Bar PLaza Dorrego and Bar Sur are all worth a visit). Café García in...

and pasta. Cantina Don Corleone in San Telmo is very good and I would also definetely second Il Matterello as one of the best options. I agree with you re Puerto Madero...what a tourist trap!

Ditto for me on Don Julio. We liked the meat here better than La Cabrera and La Brigada in San Telmo, plus the service at Don Julio was outstanding. We were particularly impressed by the blood sausage appetizer at Don Julio.

, but my experience was nothing but positive. La Vineria de Gualterio Bolivar in San Telmo was Sunday’s lunch. This was my one “take a chance” meal on this vacation. I had read a positive review on this board...
