The headline for this blog should have been “How do I say I’m so full I want to barf” in Spanish? However, the editorial board vetoed that – so we went with the generic title you see above! However, that was the sentiment! We went to dinner later because – well – that’s the Argentinean way. Ed had researched the restaurant online and then Andrea at Lola House had seconded the recommendation – so how could we go wrong?
We couldn’t. It was great. The atmosphere was a nice cafe type – fabulous art on the walls – we grabbed a wine barrel table at the front window. The top of the wine barrel was a huge acrylic sphere with a black and white art deco woman – with red nails. Just great.
We watched the world pass us by – from our comfortable air conditioned seat and ate, and ate. Well – not really all that much – but I think it’s the bread. We are just so full of carbs we are about to pop. Wine and beer. Ok. Then for starters, we shared 3 empanadas (because Andrea said they were the best – with fresh local ingredients). She wasn’t wrong – ham and cheese, vegetable and chicken. All excellent (but bread!). Yikes! Then for dinner (like we needed it), Ed had Milanese Napolitano and I had (well we shared) artichoke bruschetta More bread! By the 2nd glass of wine – it was over. Oh and did I mention the peanuts and the raisins we had to snack with the wine and beer? Roll me home!
A wonderful – if not filling way – to finish our last night in BA, though. Walking home through the neighborhood just feels so comfortable and nice. Families out strolling, kids playing – even at 10 at night (it was a holiday after all). We would definitely stay here again if we come back to BA. A wonderful change of pace from the normal hotel, business, tourist district.
But now – it’s time to say goodnight and goodbye – tomorrow – we’re off the South to begin our adventure!
