The 2014 edition of BAFoodweek is too good for us to pass up. With 42 top end restaurants offering lunch and dinner specials we are going to take advantage of the opportunity.

Consequently I have booked our group at Agraz which is the signature restaurant of the Caesar Park Hotel in Recoleta. Billed as International, the restaurant specializes in modern Argentine cuisine. The following link will show you the menu: http://www.bafoodweek.com/menus/agraz.jpg

Food week will run for the first two weeks in September and I can recommend two other choices for lunch. These are Marieta and Sivela 465.

The cost for our lunch is 155 pesos and as usual, correct change will be appreciated. Please note that the cost does not include any beverage (other than a complimentary welcome cocktail). I am asking the staff to provide pitchers oragua ordinaire for the table.

Monthly Lunch — July 23, 2014

Posted on July 16, 2014 by tq

On Wednesday, July 23, at 1:00 pm we will have lunch at the Benihana restaurant next to the Alto Palermo shopping center. The chain is expanding and will shortly open a venue in Puerto Madero – let’s take advantage of their current bargain pricing as I suspect it will not last much longer!

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 write up on the history of the restaurants visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benihana. Our group has dined there previously with great reviews. Check out their Spanish language site at http://www.benihana.com.ar/ . Don’t believe the prices on the menu – they are very out of date!

You can choose the chicken, steak or shrimp teppanyaki. This includes soup, salad, water or gaseosa and the main course. Please note that the hibachi chicken rice is also included, as well as the tip!

The pricing for this event is quite “tight” – coffee, dessert, alcoholic beverages, etc. are not included in the price.

Date: Wednesday, July 23

Time: 1:00 pm

Place: Benihana, Arenales 3310 y Coronel Diaz (near Santa Fe)

Cost: 100 pesos

Please RSVP to mweldon213@yahoo.com
