22 Best Restaurants in Buenos Aires for Parrilla, Pasta, and Potatoes | Condé Nast Traveler

"Walking through Pasaje del Correo feels like finding a hidden portal. Anonymous entrance, then suddenly: white tablecloths, waiters in starched shirts, music at that perfect "you can actually hear your dinner companion" volume. The whole vibe is upscale-quiet, almost reverent. There's an open kitchen, but it's behind this huge glass wall, so you get all the theater of watching the action without any of the noise. It's like having front-row seats to a culinary performance with the sound turned to exactly the right level. As for the meal itself, this is an 18-course tasting menu journey, so strap in. The molecular techniques make you feel like you're in a very sophisticated science experiment—expect some dishes to feature foams, liquid nitrogen, and other interesting elements. Every course is unexpected and delightful. For dessert, they take you upstairs to a different room that feels like a more casual and relaxed lounge. It's the perfect downshift after all that intensity." - Celeste Moure, Allie Lazar
