where to eat in buenos aires : TEGUI and SUCRE

-
you know how i love good food.
-
this city is rife with amazing steaks,
and short on salad.
-
heaven, but a bit much after two weeks.
-
which is where these two places come into play.
-
TEGUI,
in palermo,
is behind a door with no sign,
and opens onto a sleek,
black and white,
modern prix fixe menu
boite
where the food was wildly inventive,
and yes,
quite delicious:
-





-
that lamb tartare was amaze-balls.
and, i loved the reading material in the bar area:
-


-
SUCRE,
that's my favorite.
located ON the park,
it's a vast concrete bunker that opens onto the green,
with a wine cellar lifted from the earth like a tomb,
and a bridge to get to the restroom.
-
the pumpkin risotto is flawless,
the sea bream with porcini is insanity,
and the molten dulce de leche cake at the end
pretty much makes you want to fuck it.
-
excuse my spanish.
-
it's also a great "client dinner" place,
fun and convivial:
-
-
god, i must have had one too many caipiroskas.
-
or too much cake.
