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

"At Picarón, contemporary Argentine meets Latin American and Asian fusion, and chef Maximiliano Rossi makes it work without trying too hard. Every plate feels like Rossi’s having fun in the kitchen. The namesake picarones are essential—these sweet potato fritters with spiced Moscabo honey that hit sweet and savory notes perfectly. The Patagones oysters show up pristine, the tomato maiale has that depth you want, and smoked prawns arrive with char and flavor. The crowd leans heavily towards hip locals out with friends or on dates. Tattooed, sneakers, baggy jeans, mixing with chic millennials dressed up for a night out. Everyone's here for Rossi's small plates, and you can feel that casual-but-foodie energy buzzing through the room." - Celeste Moure, Allie Lazar
