Restaurant recommendations for 7 days in Buenos Aires
Hi there are lots of posts for restaurants so you need to search for that. I had done a lot of searching,funny these are completely new names. I just looked up El Baqueano,what a menu! So I think you need to be more specific of what you are looking for.. We just got back this week.
Our favorites were
El Almacen de los Milagros.lovely new cuisine
Fervor, upscale traditional
Cluny..a bit modern,frech influence
Tancat,more casual Catalan..
Juana M-fun,hipper but great food too
Don Julio traditional nice
Gran Parrilla Del Plata..like Don Julio.. very nice.
tried to get into Cafe San Juan on a Sunday.(busy fair day).but called and they said they didnt take reservations and yet everyone on here says to make them.. went to the door,knocked,they just said no..
good luck..

Mast brothers chocolate tour?
I just read about this.. Is this worth it to do it? thinking of having brunch at Locanda Verde first.. How long will it take us to get there? What else is there to see /do in Brooklyn. I have not been there before. Or would we just hop back ? thanks..

private dining room Palo Alto. Menlo Park, Redwood city
Hi we are hosting a 90th birthday dinner on Dec 17th.. Its a family small gathering around 10-12,with three small children(2-6). I was thinking of maybe a private dining room so the kids have a bit more elbow room.. and not too noisy.. as they are 90!! Something like an Il Fornaio would probably be good.. Three are vegetarians. It would be a Sat night.. although I would imagine we would do this at 6pm.. to start.. thank you!! Karen
Looking for dinner Friday in Milbrae or Burlingame
that looks perfect thank you.. Karen
Looking for dinner Friday in Milbrae or Burlingame
Hi I am looking to take my 23 year daughter 'foodie' and friend out to dinner.. I will be meeting them at the Bart.
Looking for a nice place with inventive food,, not dastardly expensive.. Have done the Hong Kong Flower.. probably not looking for Asian. Californian cuisine.. Hmm?
I like Il Forniao's ambiance.. but a small place that is bustling would be fun too.. Probably.. me being the older one.. will not want to wait,would rather have reservations.. thank you
ps.. I wrote a thread ages ago.. when we were moving up here possibly to Portola Valley, so many of your responded!! Well we ended up in Redwood City very close to Woodside..
We have started our dive into the restaurants slowly(its only been three weeks) thanks!!
moving up that way..trying to decide if we live in the Portola valley would we NEED to go into town for good food
Gosh what a topic that was! We are in escrow in Redwood City.. I had re-posted about restaurants up that way, but had forgotten this one from Dec. There is very good information here.. Thank you to whomever it was sent me back to my original post! Melanie looking forward to your Chowhound events when we get there! I can see we will have fun discovering our new favorites..

moving up that way..trying to decide if we live in the Portola valley would we NEED to go into town for good food
love your report.. I am so appreciative of all of the comments.. They have really helped. That is so funny the comment about the five meals.. It will be interesting to see how different people are up that way. I will keep in touch!

Ok while I admit we do not come close to SF with the culinary offerings I will stand up for a few of the restaurants in San Diego that are quite up there with Palo Alto.. (we have eaten in SF and Palo Alto a few times).. It also does NOT take 30 mins to get anywhere.. So please do not not think of coming here for a trip.. We live in La Jolla,across from UCSD and go regularly to Del Mar(Market and Addison two of the top)in about ten minutes.. Downtown is 20. That is what we love about here. We can go to so many good restaurants within 20 minutes. That is probably what worries us the most is that we will have fewer options on the peninsula..
We like all foods.. oh did I also mention I do restaurant Interior design so of course love the ambience as well .. to throw that in the loop as well!! Glad to see my topic has brought lots of comments!
