How Much Is It To Get A New License
While the blog has not completed one year since its inception, the staff of Dining in Buenos Aires has decided to present its readers a brief balance of 2009. Below are some explanations to the questions we got via email to cenarenbuenosaires@hotmail.com .
As is well below the title indicates, in Buenos Aires Dining is a gastronomic blog criticism focused on the North Area of \u200b\u200bGreater Buenos Aires, leaving neighborhoods including Vicente López, San Isidro, San Fernando and Tigre, enclosing also the Pan American Highway corridor (both branch and branch Pilar Escobar).
The objective is published on the finest cuisine we can find, regardless of that excellence is in inns and taverns or restaurants recognized the letter. The constraint is that the final price should be commensurate with the offering, taking into account the quality, presentation, care, atmosphere, cleanliness, location and overall customer satisfaction after paying.
Our intention is not to harm the restaurant or cause any harm. That is why, of the 42 restaurants visited, 21 were published and only 20 met the expectations just mentioned.
During the month of January there will be no updates or publications, is why I wish everyone a happy new year and the best for 2010.

Easy Way To Smps Working Or Not
La Calle de los Naranjos is an interesting restaurant cuisine that is on 25 May 272, the historic heart of San Isidro and 2 blocks from the Cathedral (Avenida del Libertador 16300)
Last night was the first time I dined in a restaurant on the street May 25 and was due to the suggestion of a friend who discovered the cuisine of this busy area of \u200b\u200bSan Isidro. Used car chaos during the day (Courts of San Isidro, Central Commercial, etc..) And the delay time has run on its crowded streets, was very nice to find a parking space where I wanted, including on May 25 and before the door of the restaurant. Really amazing! And rags in sight! Best possible, so do not worry about where to park as there is plenty of room for everyone. This is how we got the car at the entrance of the Calle de los Naranjos (I'm still amazed) and were greeted by a super nice girl who opened the important glazed wooden door and offered us the table gustásemos to enjoy dinner choosing on our part that stood at the window overlooking the street.
already ensconced and enjoying the air conditioning in the place (remember the heat and humidity of last night), we reached a simple and rudimentary letters that indicated the cuisine of La Calle de los Naranjos. Fish and meat ran the narrow range of dishes, along with the inputs and the wine list which was attached to the main menu. The truth is we did not know much of this restaurant and we did not know their specialties or their criticism. Also not take us long to decide to only five dishes available, opting for Trout with port sauce, pork loin with fennel and caprese salad to share (featured in the entries.) To was chosen to take water for both. Done
ordering and enjoying the magnificent cucumber dip with sour tartar sauce (much like the German brand salad dressing Khune Salat Fix), we began to notice how relaxing it is the atmosphere of this restaurant, starting with the old and comfortable chairs were arranged for all the tables alternately. The table is very big, tall and gallantly prepared with an individual color long board that is shared among the guests, soft to the touch and exciting to the eye. We note that the glasses were low and matched the plate for the bread (clear glass) in simple harmony, not to monopolize or obstruct the view between people. The environment itself is prepared with intelligence, shame the lighting is weak and does not show it, perhaps with some candles or other spots could show how, the violet and blue, an amazing way to fuse with individual tables , the ocher of the chairs and thick wooden floor ... not to mention how great blue wall of the north end masterfully incorporates two psychedelic paintings, creating light where there is none.
cucumber dip finish, the waitress came with our three dishes, taking us by surprise at the presentation of the food prepared. Trout with port wine sauce with mushrooms was covered with the souffle potatoes. When you taste it was a blessing to feel like this did not affect fruit sauce at all with the taste of fish lake river, accompanied simply avoiding excess grapes, really spectacular. The mushrooms accompanied with its subtle flavor, while the soufflé provided constant freshness and renewal against the flavors of fish and grapes, you could see how little by little the soufflé losing height as it cools, showing his hard and accurate processing. The trout was fresh, obviously with their respective fat due to be farmed, perfectly cooked just right (and when) with no cracks or traces of meat detached corroborating the experienced approach the chef. On the other hand, my dream was back with anise. I knew I had ventured to order a dish with anise and that if the chef does not know the properties of the seed, meat and ends up polluting the result being a perfect back-flavored candy DRF. In this case, the dish turned out to be victorious, with a good back-up, covered with toasted anise seeds that had lost its intensity with the heat and cooking (aplausos!) gave them a crust crunchy and tasty, ideal for feel a new and different flavor in the meat that we all know. Along with the flesh, a delicate sweet onion wrapped in bacon, accompanied wonders (perhaps more on the plate would cool) to a baked potato and decorated with a charred twig of rosemary ... flawless! Finally, the caprese salad, generous in size, brought freshness to your basil, dried tomatoes, cherry and Creoles, but the mozzarella was old, fat, and degranables, presented in grotesque and cut slices without interest, this cheese was very similar to the cylinder La Serenissima mozzarella sold in supermarkets for a salad pizza ... to forget and erase the menu (forever).
After finishing the main avocado and enjoying the night, ask for the dessert menu, decided by the volcano and Dulce de Leche Lemon Brulée. The volcano made me regret my brulee, seeing as the sweet milk boiling hot surfaced at the first onslaught of the spoon. This volcano had a wet mass, but consistent, like an American pancake, both in form and texture and flavor. It was accompanied by a small portion of whipped cream topped with crunchy dried banana. My brulee lemon taste was exquisite, with their candy without burning and perfect communion with its soft acidity. Perhaps the brulee was beaten or stirred too much, because its texture looked more like custard. Acid also was delicious and just right.
This restaurant has a very good kitchen and to recommend but with three contradictions in their performance I do not understand: 1) Quality of food shows a commitment by the chef that surpasses many famous restaurants, with dishes of more than $ 57, in an environment achieved with dedication and classic coastal design ... but in a letter presented to the diner made from simple photocopies (poorly done and even with excess toner!) Enclose, as if in some Parrillita summer at the intersection of Route 2 to 63. 2) The caprese salad: it is incomprehensible how one can pass from the complex and perfect combination of meat and anise seed to unpresentable mozzarella salad, would have preferred that this dish is not available, I felt that I was kidding. 3) At the entrance of the restaurant says COCKTAILS, but does not offer any.
La Calle de los Naranjos is a very good restaurant to recommend, with a privileged and convenient location, its attention is highlighted and the dishes fail to dazzle the diner. Ideal to go with a partner (particularly newly formed) or in groups of women, this restaurant lies a strong commitment and interest that few waterside restaurants still have.
The Price? Expensive but worth it: $ 192 in total. Ordered 1 input, 2 entrees and 2 desserts. Simple drinks.

Plan De Construction Frame De Dune Buggy
Open Pilar is a restaurant with a varied cuisine that is at the 49.5 kilometer of Panamericana Ramal Pilar, Buenos Aires and meaning within the Concord Building, just between the Sheraton Hotel and Supermarket Jumbo.
It was now 10 and a half ago when the idea of \u200b\u200bdining out came two bridges before arriving at the Hotel Sheraton, while we remember that 3 weeks had passed since the last publication in the blog and the 5 restaurants we had visited since then did not deserve an article. That's how we arrived at the Concord Building, parking free in the first place we could find, just outside the door of the restaurant Open Pilar. The truth is we did not know of the existence of this restaurant, nor the wide range of dining options Concord Building, always went to restaurants Pilar Bureau Building, on the other side of the Panamericana. When parking notice that it is a conflict to leave the car given the great number of people and little space for leave-it creates a mild chaos that stretches for blocks. Leaving aside the street, enter this spacious restaurant and a waiter approached us offering a comfortable table for two, with the large window facing the street, giving the impression that there was no boundary between inside and outside .
just sitting, we received our respective letters each, discovering that we were in a restaurant where the cuisine is varied, good news when you get to a restaurant where she does not know what to expect. Hot and cold appetizers, sandwiches varied (completely unexpected), salads, pastas and entrees important, all perfectly designed in a harmonious letter easy to read. Again we were a long time choosing, commenting on the names and the variety of flavors offered by Open Pilar. From the outset we decided to share the breaded mozzarella with tomato sauce and entree choice proved to be the same for each: 2 Caesar Salad with smoked salmon. To make still water and a coke. Retired
the waiter our order and while enjoying the small pot of marinated chicken to accompany the bread, we note the simplicity of the table and its presentation: It is available from the beginning, all the utensils needed for dinner from the dessert spoon to the covered for entry and the main course (a rarity), a bread plate for a larger size than normal with the napkin resting on it. The orange color of the single cut with the white color of the environment, leaving two atmospheres to contemplate. Can see that the table is not unbelievable, but the novelty of presenting all covered with dinner at one sitting. Personally, dessert spoon seemed at odds with the table, but if the restaurant decides to submit all covered in one shot, definitely can not forget that covered. Open Pilar has a great sense of space, due to the great ceiling height and the mild temperature of the air conditioning, something nice and extremely comfortable, especially on the design of location interestingly arranged tables of different shapes and sizes to suit the situation of meeting desired by the guests, such as couples, families, friends, events, etc. breaking with the classic "sea of \u200b\u200btables" square and showing different environments simply organized shapes and sizes. In one corner of the restaurant you can see that the wall is lined with wine at rest, like a cellar on display, something very fashionable today. The darkness that shows the great wine is accompanied by the curtains.
Having finished the pickle, the gallant young man came up with the mozzarella. These were presented in two large drives on purple lettuce and tomato along the dip. At first glance one notices that the batter is not made by an amateur chef and was freshly prepared, keeping its high temperature necessarily long time, and without ignoring the consistency of cheese. The tomato dip is really to recommend: the balance of the processed tomatoes in oil is in perfect harmony with its acidity, it shows mincing machine but does not alter its shape. In our taste required far more salt (... or monosodium glutamate). This entry was really successful and ideal to whet your appetite.
He then approached us Salads Smoked Salmon Caesar. We have become accustomed to outrageous sizes Caesar Salad and Open Pilar this is not the case (thankfully). They were each in an interesting bowl-shaped sheet ombú, perfect container for the salad to the hearing, leaving two senses in full satisfaction. The lettuce was cut varied in kind and she was the smoked salmon into small rolls (or rather geishas) in about 5 units. Along with the salad was the Caesar dressing for the diner to decide the intensity of flavor in its sole discretion, also brought us olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The Caesar dressing was too thick but categorically right flavor, smooth and free of excess water. Also we had to add a small amount of olive oil to lighten the intensity of flavor. The smoked salmon was fresh, excellent quality, this shows that you care Pilar Open the cold chain of food, consider the package of salmon was opened specifically for us (and not stored for several days as happens in most the time). The flesh of the fish showed no color changes or alterations in texture, leaving us to enjoy dinner without feeling distrust of the state of the food.
to all this attention at this restaurant was excellent.
- "These are the waiters who really know how to treat customers, advise and help you know that the evening is quiet, "she said.
- "I completely agree" I answered, "What's more, they're kind of young men that you can change twenty times the main course and do not change, know how to handle the diner and move a lot of security around the room." Open
Pilar has a staff of waiters who bring peace to the diner, still move like shadows in a very bright and have the ability to solve any issues with grace, efficiency and speed, and most importantly of all, are educated.
was a coincidence that we find a great restaurant, where supply dining is in line with the excellent service, a flawless atmosphere and its reasonable prices. I personally prefer to go for lunch instead of dinner, and I mean only to enjoy the atmosphere.
Open Pilar
recommend any day of the week. I had yet to try the drinks.
The Price? $ 112 in total, between two people, no dessert and having ordered a total of 4 drinks.

few days ago browsing The Country over breakfast and saw the news that Fuentetaja reopened. Many of you have read the article, one more to be added to the list of successive reinaguraciones of the library. is the case then I forced myself to no longer postpone something that Amelia, Carlos and I were all those who supported us two years ago muc hos do not know how he ended it all, and this blog did not realize it . In fact, it is our responsibility not reporting, and feel. Pardon me tell it now, albeit a little late.
After two month strike, we parted. We went through two trials (we won), and the company had to reinstate them. My friends asked me if they suffered workplace harassment after the re-entry, no, can not be harassed when you live in an area of \u200b\u200bapparent lifeless shadows. Not even. Both were given. Two months later, we reached an agreement with new customers (I have not known who he was, and apparently seen, might not have known ever) and we left. We should have been aware of this, to inform you step by step, but we were very tight in forces, but simply because we were not possible, and I apologize again and thank the support and encouragement you gave us.
And I to article the other day, and the (umpteenth) reinaguración of the library. In fact, it is an opening plain and simple. Fuentetaja died about ten years ago, and although his name has been used throughout this time to provide a cultural veneer for something that is not, you can not raise the dead. One dead does not open, should not be opened, rather than do an autopsy. And that autopsy was done. We
, good or bad, we try to give it one last shake to see if out of the coma. But no.
I already took time devoted to other things and thought the whole thing pass by both boredom and effort it took both (And you too). But I found that, although late, the least that I know that merecíais was used in vain and pervert the name of the people considered the best bookstore in Madrid for the last forty years (and yes it was), that periodic friends about it again while wearing body buried so many years, while social chronicle of the new party that come back political cronies and sell the illusion that the library who knew twenty years ago comes to life , to me it seems too obscene. New buyers are the same dog with different collar, and what is open is not Fuentetaja, is a business catering to many euros covered. I refer to the article itself (if The Country they wanted to do a favor for friend disservice).
Luck to the new bar-restaurant Fuentetaja design. Already saw it coming. Many selling soufflés to the Valle-Inclán and enjoy the beautiful people sipping a cocktail while browsing a book of those who are fashionable in the Fnac. Sorry for all those who supported us and You wanted, like us, otherwise. Was better than had stopped to rest in peace. Fuentetaja poor, poor.
A huge hug to you all, my admiration for what you did and my infinite thanks. For many years I could never say. And I know this is not done, but I want to especially thank Ana, Fernando, at Exciting, Los Elcano, Javier Diez, Nano, Angel Zapata, Diego and Daniel Moreno, Cesar and many now forget, all of you, all your support and love that made that possible.

Fox Body Mustang Sub Enclouser
been a long time since the end of the huelgecilla it. A lot.
Those of us have not stopped reminding sitemáticamente the need in the blog how the story ended. Rather than there is some clueless that have not heard the end of the process and you need to know (it's hard to exist and needs someone with expectations so boring ...), but why, for a small need to close history closing stage. But closing a story is usually a way to distort, to simplify it is a necessity rather than an event.
Indeed, the judges gave us the reason. Well, but the story does not end here. The stories do not end, the narrator is the one who gets tired of counting.
II.
Anyone who has walked in front of Fuentetaja have seen in recent months that have undertaken reforms. It announced on its website: "Due to the remodeling tasks and inventory Fuentetaja Library will be closed the next day. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Fuentetaja Pedro Pablo Mansilla left (presumably because it would have in mind another philanthropic project more radical than a library, perhaps open up another building, or perhaps set up a small foundation to house bankrupt speculators, but they are only assumptions, As construction continues with the usual ...) and stayed in command some friends who came from no less philanthropic hospitality sector. Do not know much more about them, just that they own of the "Casa Palacio Atocha, 34" (as a second home for many homeless in this city).
The fact is that, as we said, Fuentetaja reentered once again challenging the record of reforms, reforms that bore Alvarez del Manzano and which fought only, so far, only Esperanza Aguirre and Alberto Ruiz Gallardon.
opened this afternoon (maybe yesterday, we have better things to do than go through Fuentetaja). Y. ..
III.
Shit Now it turns out that if a library has become a retaurant with books! The restaurant has all the earmarks, by the fine decor and servile black clothing worn by the waiters me, if the sort of place where you never find nor a cure or a paddle. While en route to the restaurant located on the first floor, books are still maintained.
Fuentetaja structure is now as follows: in the basement a kind of exhibition space at the entrance level uan kind of library and on the top floor a fine restaurant with all the laey.
is true that the experience we have as librarians (and not only in Fuentetaja) is that the books and culture are just a way to make it sweet and justified the flow of capital. But now reaches some cynicism hardly insurmountable heights.
Indeed, the book is no longer in Fuentataja (though not exclusively), symbolic material to wash the face of money, but now also mixed with other cultural sector more whitening power: the gourmet. The couple is not bad.
Then, it seems that everything has changed, that are betting on a recovery. Ya. But not everything has changed wages and working conditions of booksellers Fuentetaja waiters are the same (about seven and a little miserable euros for 6 days a week in shifts of 6 to 7 hours) and again culture is used to profit from parasitic individuals.
Change mode, but not the end. The cynicism of the manager (and consumer) culture is increasingly espelucnante.
Once again, the bank wins.
We can not say anything about Fuetetaja (may never get to say) is not our subject. Now I have to talk about the theoretical Fuentetaja Monopoly.
has been a pleasure. And Bunting, has slipped.
PD: Well, one more comment, because what the "1 º Prize Fuentetaja Library" is priceless. The fact is that, in the same line that said, the brains of the restaurant decided to give some awards Fuentetaja. These were the lucky winners:
* 1. As depicted in favor of universal human rights at Barak Hussein Obama
* 2. For all of his work for freedom Fernando Savater
* 3. For all of his work for literature and human rights John Gellman
* 4. For all of his business for the right to free and accurate information Iñaki Gabilondo
* 5. For all of its activity for Justice Carlos Castresana
* 6. For all of his work in favor of music, harmony and peace Daniel Barenboim
No comment. Well, only one: apparently, President Obama could not attend the ceremony.
This country is the host!
