I thought BA-bound travellers would like to know: December's Bon Appetit (which is currently on the stands) has a short photo spread featuring 21 hot places to visit in Palermo (mostly restaurants, but some shops made it in, too). It also lists the four or five Palermo-based boutique hotels that get mentioned on this board all the time.

As a side note: Gaad! I didn't make it to a single one of those addresses while I was in BA this past summer. And I stayed in Palermo! I *thought* I had a great time there, but I guess I need to go back to round out the experience.

What are some of the "recommended" shops and restaurants?

I need to find out if I have really had a good time on my visits to Buenos Aires, or if it was just cheap imitation.

Thanks, Montreal Traveler....


I have eaten in two of the listed restauants...I guess that means I have not totally wasted my time

Social Paraiso....one of my favorite places to eat in Buenos Aires!

I had a really bad experience at Olsen
