Treintasillas

"Puertas cerradas, or closed-door restaurants, are a unique Buenos Aires dining experience (think of them like secret supper clubs with home-cooked meals), and we recommend visiting at least one. Treintasillas has been around for more than a decade, and makes you feel like your swanky chef friend invited you over for a romantic dinner in their dreamy courtyard. The fixed, four-course menu changes weekly—yes, beef usually makes an appearance, but vegetables get to be the main character in many of the dishes you’ll try. Treintasillas is only open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, and you’ll need to make a reservation via WhatsApp, email, Facebook, or Instagram. " - martin chavesta, annie bacher

"Sitting down for dinner in one of thirty seats 'Treintasillas' means 'thirty seats' - and thanks to its popularity with local foodies, you'll have to plan ahead if you intend to sit in one of them. At this casually stylish closed-door restaurant - cash-only and open exclusively on Friday and Saturday evenings - Chef Ezequiel Gallardo's multi-course menu changes weekly. One spring evening in September, for example, diners start with a creamy leek, shrimp and Spanish chorizo soup, followed by a salad of potatoes, tomatoes, black olives and poached eggs with basil. Then it's onto a main course of roasted pork tenderloin and honey-glazed eggplants, followed by cardamom and coffee crème brûlée. Buen provecho!"
