DECATA
Honduras 6100 Palermo Hollywood, Buenos Aires
This cosy little corner café on the outskirts of Palermo Hollywood is a definite must for all lovers of trendy yet relaxed casual dining. Located close to BA’s famous antique market, Mercado de las Pulgas, this chic establishment is the ideal place to sit back, share a dish or two with friends and watch the eclectic mix of BA socialites sip espresso’s and openly discuss their latest plastic surgery procedure.
While the inside section of this cafe restaurant is very classy with high ceilings, old hanging lamps and chalk boards displaying the ‘platos de dias’, the main draw card is the amazing roof top garden and alfresco dining area. Large, comfy lounges contrasted with antique steel chairs create an idyllic environment, perfectly tailored for the BA sunshine. I would recommend getting there before 12 on a weekend as it is slowly starting to become more and more popular with locals looking to steal an afternoon away in the sun…I even saw someone bring sunscreen lotion today
The food is exceptional! Freshly baked pizzas, a multitude of sandwich combinations, tasty tapas dishes, sizeable mains and sumptuous cakes (check out the dessert counter when you walk in) make it worth the journey alone but the stand out is the brunch. Served Sunday’s until 2pm and costing $170 ARS per person (around £24), this mammoth feast surely has something for everyone. Included is granola, fresh tropical fruit, yoghurt, toast, scrambled eggs and bacon, fajitas (chicken and beef), scones with jam and cream, coffee and orange juice…it’s amazing!!! They also have a top selection of fresh juices as well as signature juice combinations such as lemon/mint and orange/passion fruit…they’re delish!
Overall – Decata Palermo Hollywood is a fantastic place to take a load off and enjoy great food and great company all while relaxing in the BA sunshine…aces in my book and will continue to return! You can find them on Facebook here – http://www.facebook.com/DecataPalermo

New Reciprocity Fee For US Visitors
This information was provided to BAIN from the US Embassy website. Please read on for new regulations requiring the reciprocity fee for entering Argentina from the USA:
Effective October 31, 2012 (Aeroparque) and December 28, 2012 (Ezeiza)
The National Immigration Agency (Dirección Nacional de Migraciones) has
added a new form of payment of the reciprocity rate (visitor visa – rate for
Americans of USD$160), through the Provincia Payment System. Until now, this
fee was paid upon arrival at the airport (either Aeroparque or Ezeiza). Effective
October 31, 2012 for arrivals to Aeroparque and effective December 28, 2012 for
arrivals to Ezeiza International airport, all U.S. tourist or business visitors must pay
the reciprocity rates (USD$160 for Americans) with their credit card through the
on-line system. After these dates, cash payments will NOT be accepted at the
airports.
How to pay the reciprocity fee on-line:
- Enter the web site http://www.migraciones.gov.ar or http://www.provinciapagos.com.ar of Provincia Pagos and register to start the process.
- Complete the form with the corresponding personal and credit card information.
- Print the payment receipt.
- On arrival in Argentina, this printed receipt must be presented at Immigration Control. The receipt will be scanned by the Immigration officials, the information will be checked, and the traveler’s entry to the country registered.
