    Persicco consistently makes lists summarizing the best helado in Buenos Aires. This sleek chain is…read morepart of the Freddo/Un Alta Volta family (each of these businesses having had the same principals, not necessarily at the same time). That being the case, I wasn't very impressed by the classic dulce de leche flavor. It was rich and sweet, a little too soft, but mostly just didn't have enough dulce de leche smokiness. Some of their other flavors were excellent. Try the Tramontana - with streaks of dulce de leche in a vanilla base, and chocolate-covered biscuit balls the size of almonds scattered throughout. I rarely go for fruity flavors, but the Merengatta was also terrific, extremely creamy (could it be mascarpone-based?) and swirled with fresh, bright-tasting strawberry. The doorknob to the ground floor restroom had broken off, so I felt like I was going to fall to my death when going up the spiral staircase to the other restrooms. Shoddy construction aside, the space is very bright and clean. Worth a visit? It shouldn't be first on your helado tour - especially considering that they're noticeably more expensive than other heladerias. But if you come across a Persicco branch while walking the city (and you probably will), definitely go in and try some of their signature flavors.

Service: I was looking for alfajores to bring back to the states. An older woman seemed annoyed with me and was not friendly during our interaction. Cost: She shouted a price to an older man who rang me up. I didn't pay much attention to the price until I saw the charge on my credit card. It was $27 for 4 alfajores. This is way above an average cost so I feel they took advantage of a tourist who is not fluent in Spanish. Taste: I had one and had given the others to friends. No one enjoyed them. All they did was crumble with each bite and make a mess. Do not visit this place as you will get ripped off, have poor service and not receive a tasty treat. Servicio: Buscaba alfajores para llevar a Estados Unidos. Una señora mayor parecía molesta conmigo y no fue amable durante nuestra interacción. Costo: Le gritó el precio a un señor mayor que me cobró. No le presté mucha atención hasta que vi el cargo en mi tarjeta. Eran $27 por 4 alfajores. Esto está muy por encima del precio promedio, así que creo que se aprovecharon de un turista que no habla español con fluidez. Sabor: Probé uno y les había dado los demás a mis amigos. A nadie le gustaron. Lo único que hicieron fue desmoronarse con cada bocado y hacer un desastre. No vayan a este lugar, los estafarán, les darán un mal servicio y no recibirán un bocadillo delicioso.

    It had been many years since my initial visit to L'Orangerie. I had great memories of the art deco…read moreroom, with high ceilings and iron work. We arrived for a 2p lunch and the room was lovely. The menu consisted of a cold buffet and menu items of the day. My friends ordered the buffet and 2 of us ordered the 'Loma de Pesca'. Our fish order showed up 20 minutes later as sliced filets of Lomo de Res. The waiter was profusely apologetic and stated his mind confused the meat with the fish. 35 minutes later, still no fish, but complimentary glasses of champagne for the delay. At the 45 minute mark, the fish arrived. More apologies and we noted the sauce on the fish had already congealed, so it had been sitting awhile. Coffee with some complimentary dessert bites. Sadly, the elegance and service I remembered was very much lacking. As a 'bonus', 20 minutes after leaving L'Orangerie, someone charged $1200 USD on plane tickets to Chile on the CC I had just used at the restaurant.

Located inside the Alvear Palace Hotel, this restaurant and tea room is exquisite in its appointments and the food and service are equally well matched. Afternoon tea started with small pasty, followed by scones accompanied by clotted cream, preserves and creme anglaise. Then came a tiered tower with sandwiches and pastries, followed by the cart if larger pastries and a glass of sparkling wine. Of note, was the Alvear tea blend, which features citrus notes, almond and rose petals. Everything was This was a wonderful experience, and a highlight of this trip to Buenos Aires.
