Vegetarians in BA
 
Washington Post had an article in today's travel secion on vegetarian dining in BA. They listed Casa Felix, Kensho, Arevalito and VerdeLliama. Here's a link to the article http://tinyurl.com/6ej4q3

Thank you, yestravel. I'm not a vegetarian, but tourists who are, could take a look at the article, as I did.

I understand you need to register to read the electronic Washington Post, but it's free.

Of course, all our "parrillas" offer salads, so vegetarians need not worry they'll starve, if they go to that kind of restaurant.

This is good information but as anyone who doesn't eat red meat or is a total vegetarian knows, you can get something good to eat in most restaurants here.
We don't eat red meat - we eat well in parrillas...grilled proveleta with a huge salad, great pasta dishes, rice dishes,vegetables that are grilled or roasted.
There are Italian restaurants here that do wonderful things with vegetables as well as pasta, there are Chinese and Indian restaurants .. it is not hard to eat well in Buenos Aires..

Add Casa Saltshaker www.saltshaker.net to the links..like Casa Felix, he is not a typical restaurant and like Felix, he doesn't always cook meat heavy menus.

Frommer's Review
<i> &quot;This parrilla is hard to find but worth the effort. A family-owned affair, it takes its name from its chic matriarch owner . Located in the basement of a former orphanage, This cavernous industrial-chic space is white and luminous by day, with seating for more than 210 patrons. At night, when the space is lit only by candlelight, trendy young patrons flood in, chattering the night away. The menu is simple, high-quality, and amazingly inexpensive, with a free unlimited salad bar with several healthy options.&quot;
