We made our way to Palermo which is another section of Buenos Aires that is quite popular with tourists. As I mentioned in the previous post, this area is filled with restaurants, boutiques and very trendy bars and cafes. Each block is lined with tons of them. It is a feast for the eyes.. one doesn’t know where to go. We had our fill of grilled steak, etc and were looking for something different. We found a Vietnamese, Thai fusion restaurant in our area called Sudestada. We unpacked and explored the area.. but before we left our room, we looked up the restaurant and the menu. We reached the spot and discovered it doesn’t open till 8.30.. wow, really? We, in America are not used to that… but we wanted to try their food so badly that we waited and had a drink while our daughter ate her dinner (she wasn’t willing to wait that long for food).

Well, the food was worth the wait. I had a whole fish cooked in tamarind sauce and washed it down with a delicious mango cocktail- yum! Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera.

The next day, we walked to a charming cafe called Pani. I had an omelet and cafe con leche. My daughter had a delicious cinnamon bun and fruit salad. I later looked up this cafe and people online were talking about their unbelievable cinnamon buns. We had a delicious croissant filled with ham and cheese. This place also serves afternoon tea, lunch and dinner. We will be back there tomorrow.

We researched lunch as well and found a place called La Fabrica del taco. They are famous for the taco al pastor. I had a taco and a margarita. The decor was colorful and very eclectic. The whole experience was great. We walked around some more and came back to our hotel and chilled a bottle of sparkling rose! Delicious! Will report back on dinner at Azema cafe. The place does not have a website and it is supposed to be a very eclectic place to eat as it is a combination of French and African cuisines.
