"Set in a mansion from 1927, this might be the most beautifully designed space in the entire city. Last year it reopened under new management and recruited an all-star team to take control of the restaurant and cocktail menu. If there was a show called Ladies Who Lunch, it would totally be filmed here. Expect the crowd to match the neighborhood, which is one of the city's most exclusive upscale barrios. The restaurant menu recently got a makeover when Julieta Caruso, ex-chef of world-renowned Mugaritz in San Sebastián, took over the kitchen. Casa Cavia is open for breakfast, brunch, lunch, merienda (tea time) and dinner, but it's best during the daylight, when you can take advantage of the garden views. Last season's menu was inspired by great works of literature, and this spring honors Argentine music albums, with a unique take on local staples like sweetbreads, beef ribs, lamb, and pasta." - Celeste Moure, Allie Lazar
