! Cabaña Las Lilas<br />

Travelers and porteños alike<br />

have been seduced by Cabaña<br />

Las Lilas’ beef since 1995. Meat<br />

arrives from the restaurant’s own<br />

estancia. Its flavor is legendary,<br />

and so is the price (see p85).<br />

Patagonia Sur @ Star chef Francis<br />

Mallmann’s prix fixe<br />

menu changes<br />

regularly, spotlighting<br />

in-season ingredients<br />

like calafate berries and Andean<br />

potatoes. Desserts and wines<br />

are stellar, as is the intimate<br />

setting (see p77).<br />

£ Ølsen<br />

The cavernous Olsen has<br />

begun polarizing the porteño<br />

tastemakers who initially pegged<br />

it to the international style map,<br />

yet the scene is still there to<br />

make: Scandinavian preparations<br />

of finger foods, a lively brunch,<br />

and an outdoor patio for sipping<br />

a vodka cocktail (see p93).<br />

$ Duhau Restaurante<br />

and Vinoteca<br />

Extraordinary service, nuanced<br />

food preparation, and grandeur<br />

are all part of the Duhau dining<br />

experience. There is seating in a<br />

tranquil outdoor garden, the<br />

warmly appointed dining room,<br />

or in the vinoteca – a comfortable<br />

space where<br />

cheeses pair up with<br />

Malbecs and artisanal<br />

breads (see p71).<br />

% Oui Oui<br />

The bright, airy Oui Oui is<br />

one of Palermo’s most pleasant<br />

surprises. Come for light egg<br />

dishes, lemonades, soufflés,<br />

tarts, brioches, soups, and<br />

savory waffles. It is ideal for a<br />

merienda, or afternoon bite.<br />

Brasserie Petanque ^ This is pitch-perfect French<br />

bistro dining. Massive windows<br />

open onto Defensa in<br />

warm months,<br />

making for one of the<br />

capital’s most boisterous<br />

foodie scenes.<br />

The daily catch on the<br />

specials board is<br />

always exceptional,<br />

as is the wellselected<br />

paté platter<br />

for starters. The<br />

waiters know their<br />

wines and how to pair<br />

them too (see p77).
