The Riverside is a small Old fashioned social club open only at night. Chile is on the street, 20 meters before Rivadavia street that runs alongside the railway Retiro-Tigre, San Isidro party. If you are on Avenida del Libertador to Tigre, two blocks after the Board of First Street is the street Chile (on the corner there is an Esso service station).
This restaurant is a classic of the area and used to be a bowling club, established for over 80 years, turned into a restaurant, its tables are located where they learned to be the courts. If will hardly find a place self in front of the restaurant as it is located adjoining to family homes, which is why I recommend turning left on the train tracks and park in front of them. There is a security checkpoint guarding the area. To eat in this place must be reserved in advance table (see the end of your article), if they get hard without warning until 12 instead of the night, usually can be booked until 7 pm, then it becomes almost impossible . If they get instead I suggest you ask for a table in the lounge overlooking the entrance, is less frenetic, less children are among the tables and no television noise. Be on time or lose the table. The place is colonial design, two high-ceilinged rooms with no sound insulation, creating a terrible mess of noise in the place. A large refrigerator deli counter making huge plays "command center" and box. In summer often set up tables outside in the yard, which is very nice for the weather and at night.
last night were 4, all habitues of the house and already familiar with the system and place. We had booked a table for 9 am in the hall facing the entrance and five minutes later we were sitting on the classic old rickety chairs in front of a wood color formica table. I get the owner, which in turn makes the boy, with individual paperboard, paper napkins and plastic bread box, throw all the cutlery in the middle of the table as a mountain of metal. "As you guys? They forgot the brides today? "Was the comment of entry as we waved to each other and smiled behind those huge Gallic mustache. He says that in addition to what is already known, there were rabbit hunting, brótala Roquefort, bondiola pork, squid rings and a couple of things but that fails to retain. It did not take five minutes to decide the menu and ask each one their plate: 2 pumpkin ravioli with mushroom sauce, a breaded with fries and a brótala Roquefort, a Sprite pints for everyone. The gathering is always the same.
menu? Individual is the color cardboard, in addition to a cartoon drawing of the two owners and not say the prices, explains all options. I confess to having tried all the dishes and the best dish is the house fixed are the pumpkin ravioli. These are the envy of the best pasta in the country houses are unique, and mushroom sauce dish should be a $ 50 minimum. The other pastas are also excellent, well-made fresh on the day: capelettis and mingled with optional spaghetti with basil or spinach. Mushroom sauce is the secret weapon, or creamy, not cornstarch or gravy, perfect to accompany anything (many times we ask the Milan). The meatballs are withering, with the same amount of garlic pesto sauce and a unique taste and consistency. Meat? Can be ordered steak chorizo \u200b\u200bbut warn that it takes a lot and personally I think it is worth the wait, is the only weak link in the menu dish. The bondiola are baked at home, with potatoes sailor, peas and fried egg, all in quantities. Milanese, although little is also very rich, unlike what one is accustomed to, with lots of meat and bread. Fish? This is a separate issue, the Riverside has such a good fish as Don José Martinez Fish, fresh as if we were to the sea. Roquefort is codling very soft and odorless lean fish showing the lack of bacteria. There are times of the year where they offer seafood, fresh as the fish at very low prices, up gives me more confidence to eat seafood in this place than any other restaurant in Puerto Madero. They usually offer mussels Provencal (do not miss the opportunity to ask for this if offered), Bilbao octopus, paella and black noodles with seafood (including small octopus in abundance). The squid rings are the best that is available in Buenos Aires, not preparation, but for fresh squid. Last year we knew to go every weekend to eat seafood and we ignore the rest of the culinary offerings of the area.
This is an inn-style restaurant / tavern, with a super affordable price and outstanding quality. Ideal for all gourmets are not eager protocol. Personally, I love to go, eat well and pay little.
Price? $ 35 per person. More elaborate dishes elevate the end result. The drink is pints and wine are common to rational price.
