Hello all,

Now in its sixth edition, Buenos Aires Food Week makes a welcome return from September 15-28.
With 39 restaurants offering lunch and/or dinner menus at fixed prices – 170 pesos and 280 pesos for three courses respectively – this is an opportunity to try something new!

I have reviewed all of the lunch offerings and have ignored those that charge an additional cover. Of the remaining places my vote for the best menu goes to Club 31 which is inside the Buenos Aires Grand Hotel.

The lunch will begin with an Aperol Spritz (espumante, aperol y soda) and you can choose from 3 selections each of an appetizer, a main course and a dessert! Please not that this pricing does not include a beverage.

You can check out all of the restaurants on http://www.bafoodweek.com/

The menu is below:
Place: Club 31 – (Buenos Aires Grand Hotel)
Time: Wednesday, September 16 at 12:30 pm
Location: Av. Gral. Las Heras 1745 (cerca de Callao)
Cost:190 pesos (tip included) no beverage
Correct change will be appreciated

Please RSVP to Michael Weldon at
