Gorro De Oro - Buenos Aires

It is known that the French can be selective with food :o) After an exhausting day in Buenos Aires we went to TripAdvisor to find a nice restaurant near our hotel. Although this had only 3 reviews, they were all good... and the restaurant was in the right neighborhood. We were the only ones who were interested, but all the waiters were really dedicated to us. the dining room is very wide, high, but also very cozy with the white and gray walls, the small red bricks on the ceiling, the wooden wine cabinets on the wall and the mosaic tiles on the floor. The waiter was very nice. Although he did not speak French and we spoke very little Spanish, he made many efforts and the communication was OK. The food was very good. The Bife de chorizo was extermely tender and well cooked. The seafood risotto was also very pleasant. as at the price, it is a medium higher end range in Buenos AIres, but remains very cheap compared to French prices (total invoice for 2, including wine was less than what it costs for 1 person to simply eat in a similar restaurant in France). All in all, a very pleasant experience. Definitely recommended and thanks to the previous TripAdvisor reviewer for their advice!

Do not try to get space there is either closed or lost interest. I was yesterday 25 Jan 2011 for FOURTH time before in October 2010 when I tried 3 times in BA and was closed twice and found open once, but for a private party.

Unlike all others on San Telmo, the restaurant has a pretty entrance. My wife and I just came to the restaurant because we were starving and it was nearby, I'm glad we decided to eat there. We were immediately greeted by the well-dressed owner. The place was uncut, cleanly decorated and had a man playing the piano. The wine list was delicious (if you like the wines of Argentina... and we do), the steaks perfectly prepared and the waiting staff was polite, pleasant and timely. Because it happened to be my wife's birthday, they brought free tiramasu (also delicious) and champagne while they sing happy birthday.

This amazing little jewel at the corner of Defensa Venezuela in San Telmo will ask you why more people do not wait for tables. Live piano music accompanied dinner at a fresh weekend night and the attentive waiting staff was personal and efficient. The menu offered tasteful options that allow you to enjoy Argentine cuisine on the fullest, complemented by a deep local wine list. One of the best meals we had in Buenos Aires. Don't miss this!

If you happen to be in San Telmo for the flea market or any other time, try this resto. If you 're fortunate, you might have Raoul serving you. He made our eating experience memorable in this old world resto with his impeccable service. We were only having lunch but he made us feel we were dining out in the finest restaurant in BA. My wife and shared appetizers and main courses and he would not dare allow us to divide it ourselves. He insisted on doing it the old way and divided it on two separate plates from the original serving plate. I dropped my napkin and he immediatedly came over to replace it....small things , but a real class act. Food here almost is as good. Provoleta and chiparones (grilled squid were delicious. Lomo (beef loin was perfectly done to our request and tender. Good wine list. Piano player plays all the memorable music well. Highly recommended after trying it several times during our stay in BA.
