For those of you in Buenos Aires, we thought you might like to share some food delivery experiences we have had. Share yours on the BAIN Downtown Facebook page (https://m.facebook.com/pages/Buenos-Aires-International-Newcomers-BAIN-Downtown/105505852875711).
Here are two of mine (neither BAIN DT nor I have any financial relationship with these sources):
Cheeky Bag — food comes in plastic bags to boil for 10 minutes or so. Contact English speaker owner Mike Scrimshaw at WhatsApp +54 9 11 6918 0818. Each main plus side is AR$600. Beef Bourguignon, Coq au Vin, Chicken Tinga, Coconut Curry, Thai Red Curry, Jerk Pork & Gravy. We liked the Beef and Coq au Vin!!
Milena Pasta — order at PedidosYa. Great pasta, great selection, great sauces (we are partial to the mushroom sauce).
I know you are foodies, so please enjoy and share.
Share your favorites with us on the BAIN DT FaceBook page.
Best.
