The Three Best Things...

E-mail Print
Alright, folks, my trip to Buenos Aires is nearly complete, and I have to say, I think I've found the three best things in the city, foodwise. Yesterday I told you about a place in Puerto Madero that served outstanding raviolis. Tonight I just had the best dessert and the best wine. Let me tell you about them. Okay, here's your night out... Start in Puerto Madero, walking along the water, checking out the people in sidewalk seating as they check you out. Head to Bahia Madero and have the spinach ravioli in parmasean sauce. Another option is the ricotta and walnut ravioli in spinach sauce. Enjoy the ambiance of al fresca dining, and watch the couples stroll by in their (undoubtably uncomfortable) stylish shoes. Then make your way to San Telmo, to a little organic restaurant called Origen. It's a small corner eatery with a lot of vegetarian options, but since you've just had the best ravioli in the world, you headed straight for the postres y dulce (or dessert). Go with the helado de frutas rojas. You've just order the best vanilla icecream with raspberry sauce (with frest raspberries) you've had in your life. It's a healthy portion, too, so after you get your check, you'll walk for a couple blocks up Av. Peru to a place called La Cava. This is an out of the way wine bar with excellent staff, and a number of very good wines served by the cup. And to be honest, in this city, it can be hard finding wine by the cup. I had the Tempranillo (pronounced Tempranisho) and it was delightful. I may have found the one red wine that will not give me headaches. A heavy pour and a plate of smoked swiss cheese and bread will set you back only 15 pesos, or about $4.33. When I left the wine bar, it was raining, and the street I wasn't frequented by taxis all that often. Now, the staff will certainly be more than happy to call one for you, as they did for one of their regular patrons just before I left. But I like the rain, and it was only a couple blocks before I hit the major street, Av. de Mayo, where the tango festival was last Saturday. I stopped for a brief moment under an overhang in a quiet plaza with an old clock tower at the end and watched the storm roll in with some spectacular lightening displays. It was the perfect end to a wonderful evening. With my belly full, and my head not aching (yet), I'm calling it a night. I sincerely hope you're enjoying your evening as well.
