Buenos Aires

"There is one tasty thing on the menu at PM Fish: the fluffy souffle’s potatoes. These airy little french fries look like they’ve been inflated with a bicycle pump and come served in an edible basket made out of crispy potato. But even these aren’t reason enough to come to this strange and pricey Argentinian restaurant in Brickell. This place is just odd - the chairs have advertisements for wine on them, and the whole place looks like it was plucked out of 2001 Los Angeles. And everything except for the potatoes is just highly forgettable." - Ryan Pfeffer

"A four-day road trip through the province reveals coastal wines, surf towns, and sierras. Key locations include Mar del Plata, Chapadmalal, Bodega AlEste in Médanos, and Tandil. The region offers Atlantic-influenced bubbles, cool climate-loving wines, and thermal waters."

"Consider this your essential restaurant guide to the Argentine city."

"In the Chacarita district, close to the historic cemetery bearing the remains of the legendary tango singer Carlos Gardel, we came across this restaurant which, despite its modest appearance, is well worth a visit. Na Num, which is the Korean world for “sharing”, features a simply furnished contemporary interior with a dominant bar space enabling guests to eat while watching the chefs in full flow, including cooking on a Kamado grill. With dishes such as mussel ceviche with kimchi tiger’s milk, spicy tteokbokki with cream cheese, and saewoo (king prawn tails with butter, gochugaru, garlic aroma and a tofu cream base), the food here is contemporary Korean in style, completely designed for sharing, and combines Argentinian ingredients and Buenos Aires recipes with exotic Asian condiments. The highly colourful, well-textured and attractively presented dishes are also well-balanced in terms of their levels of spiciness, but it’s best to ask if you’re not sure. Booking ahead is recommended." - Michelin Inspector

"Budget hotels in Buenos Aires tend toward down and dirty hostel dorms or bare-bones modern hotels that have seen better days. Bonito, a handful of unusually shaped rooms on the third floor of a four-story 1914 building located in Montserrat near the center, is an exception. The old building was just waiting to be turned into something grand when a local architectural firm put its mark on it, inviting various contemporary Argentine artists to each decorate a room without interrupting the original layout. Every space is quite unique. While all units have private bathrooms, LCD TVs, and Wi-Fi, the overall feel of each varies greatly. One has a sitting area with elegantly curved windows. One has a lofted second bed. One has whimsical hand-painted wallpaper. One has a wine cellar. A common living area, anchored by a bar, is the social center of the property, and it occasionally plays host to cultural events like readings or film showings. There is also an on-site art gallery, 15 Litros."
