This is what porteños eat

Ok, if you don’t find my tomato soup that exciting, maybe you will find this more appetizing? This is what porteños (the Buenos Aires residents) eat – a juicy steak as seen in Cluny ( El Salvador 4618, Palermo) restaurant.

Delicious hot tomato soup

Who could have thought that a simple tomato soup from a hotel room service can be so inspiring? Moreover, it is not everybody’s favourite gazpacho, but HOT tomato soup. And to be honest, I’ve always looked quite sceptically at hot tomato soups as they often taste like ketchup. Don’t they?…

Eating “helado” in Palermo

Apart from the most incredible steaks, Buenos Aires has the most fantastic artisanal ice cream. Yesterday I was walking in the trendy Palermo area and you can see “heladeria” on almost every corner. Above is the picture of my copious portion of “dulce de leche” and fresh melon ice cream.…

Cabaña Las Lilas, Buenos Aires

It’s one day I am in Buenos Aires and I absolutely love it. It is not exactly how I imagined though – Buenos Aires is very European. Of course, I knew that it is the most European city in South America, but, still, I thought it will be something like…

If Paris is the capital of the French gastronomy, New York is the capital of great Japanese and sushi restaurants. When I am in Paris, I really miss authentic Japanese restaurants, because Paris simply doesn’t have good ones. I have discussed that in my previous posts – even if Kai…

Berthillon ice cream

Berthillon ice cream is simply the best in Paris, and, maybe even in the world. Once you try it, you don’t want any other kind of ice cream. Trust me. The image of three Berthillon ice cream scoops- strawberry sorbet, caramel and coconut ice cream. There are multiple spots in…

The best paella in Valencia

Valencia is the home for paella and the typical “paella Valenciana” is with rabbit and chicken. I didn’t try this one as I have a psychological barrier to eat these beautiful furry creatures. What I enjoyed though was paella with lobsters, which is to die for! The coast of the…
