"Mishiguene means "crazy" in Yiddish, and that pretty much describes chef Tomás Kalika when he decided to open a restaurant honoring the Jewish diaspora in Argentina. Here, Kalika expresses the Jewish immigrant experience with a combination of Sephardic, Ashkenazi and Middle Eastern flavors, remade in a modern way. The walls are covered with Judaica and photos of Israeli markets, and space feels modern and sleek with sexy low lighting and plush furniture. In between bites of baba ghanoush and gefilte fish, the lively crowd claps and sings to the klezmer band. Even though Mishiguene specializes in Israeli and Jewish cooking, diners go for the modern, fine dining feel, and not because of their religion." - Allie Lazar
