June Luncheon

Hello all, I hope you have all saved the date for the monthly BAIN luncheon on the last Thursday of each month!

June 28, Thursday

We will have lunch at the Benihana restaurant next to the Alto Palermo shopping center, Ave. Coronel Díaz y Arenales (one block from Santa Fe).

Benihana restaurants are traditional Japanese hibachi steakhouses, which feature the Japanese cooking method known as “teppanyaki.” Your meal is prepared fresh and served by a performing chef, right before your eyes. For a nice writeup on the history of the restaurants visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benihana. Our group has dined there previously with great reviews.

You can choose the chicken, steak or shrimp priced at 70, 80 or 90 pesos accordingly. This includes soup, salad, beverage (wine, beer, water or gaseosa) and the main course. These prices include the tip. The Happy Hour pricing for alcoholic beverages will be in effect for us, this means that wine will be available for 18 pesos per glass and beer at 12 pesos per half liter.

Check out their Spanish language site at http://www.benihana.com.ar/menu-ejecutivo.php
