Wanted to begin a list of new restaurants to visit in BA and hope u all can help me out. On past visits to BA a couple places we loved included Amici Mei, Sirop, Rodi Bar, & Social Parasio. We're very eclectic in what we like, so I would love to hear any and all suggestions. Thanks!

Cumana, Melo, El Estrebe...though all in Recoleta. Antigua Tasca de Cichilleros and La Gualterio del Vineria de Bolivar in San Telmo. Wish we could meet you there I will update when we are there.

Getting close !

We tried to go to the Rodi Bar earlier this week and it was closed - appeared permanently. We ate at Rio Alba in Palermo earlier this week and will probably go back there tonight - great beef. We also liked LaPosada de 1820 just a block off of Florida Street - good lamb. We ate at LaPosada two years ago when we were here and liked it then too.

Thanks! Will add them to our list.

Too bad about our timing, Marnie. I'm looking forward to your updates. i've got your TR's in my folders. We need to try and find time to share some Malbec b4 u take off.

Has anyone tried Bio or Kensho, in or near Palermo? I have not tried them, but I just read about them. If so, please give us your thoughts. Thanx so much.

I thought it was strange that such a successful place as the Rodi Bar would have closed for good, so I just phoned them (4801-5230) and they said they were open for business, as usual. They MAY have been closed over the New Year weekend, but, as I said, they are now open, Monday through Saturday.

Have a great time in our town.

YEA ! Good news about a favorite neighborhood restaurant. Thank you, AV.

Rodi Bar is always closed on Sundays, they are open and busy every day.
We went to Cumana today, I now want to eat next door at Colchita? and the Mexican place too.
These are just neighborhood places, nothing fancy.
Melo is wonderful, another great neighborhood place.

Guido's Bar in Palermo Botanico, facing the zoo.
Meridian 58 in Palermo Viejo/Soho .. great atmosphere, great food & service.
the Cafe at the Evita Museum ... brunch or lunch - wonderful.

AV & Scarlett, thanks for the update on Rodi Bar -- glad 2 hear it has not gone out of business.

scarlett,, thanks for the additions, they are being added to my ever growing list.
