The 15 Best New Restaurants in Buenos Aires | Eater

"Perhaps the city’s unconditional love for beef and recent Asian fusion obsession explain the difficulty of snagging a reservation at this pan-Asian style parrilla where Japanese, Korean, and Chinese flavors meet Argentine traditions. Niño Gordo, which means “Fat Boy” in English, is the newest venture from Pedro Peño and Germán Sitz, the creators of Palermo favorites La Carnicería and Chori. Sit at the bar for a great view of the open kitchen and watch chefs plate dishes like miso-chile glazed sweetbreads, chinchulines (chitterlings) okonomiyaki, beef tataki with wasabi, and ssamjang sirloin. Much of the hotness factor can be attributed to the decor: At the restaurant’s entrance, two fish tanks with floating faux jellyfish open onto an intimate dining area whose ceiling is decorated with 143 red chochin lanterns, making Niño Gordo a contender for 2018’s most Instagrammable restaurant." - Allie Lazar
