The Centre
Arturito , Corrientes 1124 (tel 011/4382-0227). An old-fashioned oasis reigned over by courteous white-jacketed waiters, Arturito is a Corrientes landmark, and its bife de chorizo con papas (rump steak and chips) is an unquestionably good deal at just $5. Bice , Av. Alicia M. de Justo 192 (tel 011/4315-6216). Style sometimes triumphs over content in Puerto Madero, but the excellent pasta and gnocchi at this highly regarded, if expensive, Italian restaurant will not disappoint. Cervantes , Peron 1883. An old stand-by, and, with portions big enough for two, it's a great deal. Try the peceto al horno con papas (roast meat with potatoes). They also do huge salads. Chiquilin , Sarmiento 1599 (tel 011/4373-5163). A classic Porteno restaurant serving traditional dishes at moderate prices such as pollo al verdeo (chicken with spring onions) in a friendly and stylish atmosphere. Las Cuartetas , Corrientes 838. A pared down pizza and empanada joint where you can grab a slice of pizza at the counter or while away a few hours after the cinema over a cold Quilmes. El Globo , Hipolito Yrigoyen 1199 (tel 011/4381-3926). Long-established, moderately priced, Spanish restaurant with a gorgeously old-fashioned interior, offering classic dishes such as camarones al ajillo (prawns with garlic) which are perfectly acceptable if rather lacking in Mediterranean flair. Guerrin , Corrientes 1368. If you want a traditional Porteno pizza experience look no further than this Corrientes institution. The traditional order is a portion of muzzarella and faina eaten at the counter and accompanied by a glass of sweet moscato. Some Portenos hold that the pizzas served in the proper dining area are a notch above the counter versions; however, all are inexpensive. Parrilla Pena , Rodriguez Pena 682 (tel 011/4371-5643). Excellent parrilla at a reasonable price in a bustling atmosphere. Avoid the downstairs tables if you want to prevent your clothes reeking of grilled meat. Patio San Ramon , Reconquista 269. Generous, well-cooked and inexpensive food with daily specials such as pollo al horno con pure de batata (roast chicken with sweet potato puree). The real attraction, however, is the stunning location in the patio of an old convent where, among palm trees and birdsong, you might even forget that you're at the heart of Buenos Aires' financial district. Lunchtimes only. Pippo , Montevideo 341 (tel 011/4374-0762). Despite its fairly indifferent pasta and parrillada, Pippo has established itself as a Buenos Aires institution: it's worth paying this inexpensive, glaringly lit restaurant a visit just to catch a glimpse of Porteno dining in all its noisy, gesticulating glory. The thick vermicelli mixto , with bolognese sauce and pesto, is a good deal. The London Grill and Oyster Bar , Reconquista 455 (tel 011/4311-2223). A real slice of old Anglo-Buenos Aires, serving up traditional English dishes such as lamb with mint sauce in an elegant if rather stuffy atmosphere. Closed weekends. Tomo 1 , Carlos Pellegrini 525, in Hotel Panamericano (tel 011/4326-6695). Considered by many to be Buenos Aires' best haute cuisine restaurant; an elegant but refreshingly unpretentious place where all the emphasis is on the exquisitely cooked food. There are lunchtime and evening set menus for around $50, offering dishes such as a terrine of zucchini with almonds and an a la carte menu, with a superb magrets of duck accompanied by pears and rosemary.
