Buenos Aires – Sometimes you get disappointed when you visit a place or a restaurant again after many years. Be it because you have romantic memories, or the chef or the concept has changed.

At Tegui we were not disappointed on our second visit. The restaurant has a fixed menu with or without wine accompaniment instead of the a la carte menu. The menu led us through the whole country starting with little green salty plants from Patagonia (we saw a whole field of these in Bahia Bustamante) to Choique (small type of ostrich) and entire palmitos, which were cut at our table…and much more.
The restaurant is rather expensive in comparison and you should reserve about one month in advance.

Buenos Aires – After eight years we were finally back in Buenos Aires. We still had four weeks of vacation ahead of us and the first restaurant we had lunch in was El Preferido de Palermo. I had read about it in the Bubble (https://www.thebubble.com/ a news channel about and for Argentina, especially Buenos Aires, the weekly videos on Friday with Paige I can highly recommend).

The tip was great and we really enjoyed the food and the relaxed atmosphere. Of course we ate too much again, but it was really delicious – including dessert flan with the typical dulce de leche, which is an indispensable part of the Argentinean menu. You can get a great lunch for two with wine and coffee for under 45 Swiss francs.
