Description:
This place is best described as an Argentine parrilla, with Middle Eastern accents and the added twist of being kosher. It's in what was once the main area of Buenos Aires's Jewish community. The parrilla serves wonderfully juicy and kosher slabs of beef (my experience in the U.S. has always been that beef plus kosher equals dry, but not here). This is one of Buenos Aires's most popular kosher restaurants. The interior is simple, wood-paneled, and home-style. The family that owns the restaurant oversees its operations; sometimes they argue right in front of you. The menu also features a selection of kosher Argentine wines, and you can take a bottle home with you. Middle Eastern fare -- such as pitas and hummus as starters or sides, and baklava desserts -- is also on hand, as well as fast food such as pastrami sandwiches and salads. Service is very low-key, but the food more than makes up for it.
