Buenos Aires Magic

Am in the process of transferring across previous posts but I am overwhelmed by Buenos Aires.  The architecture, the beauty, the food (OMG the food!) and the wine. 

We've been in BA for just almost a week now and have had some magical food.  Have managed to stumble across some gems - sensational rabbit stew and garlic prawns last night in Cafe San Juan, San Juan 452, in San Telmo;  best empanadas yet at Las Delicias, Quintana 380 stuffed with spicy beef, egg, peas in a flaky flaky pastry; Andeluna Reserva Malbec washing it all down.

Not sure how the Portenos manage to stay as thin as they are given the size of the servings (and it's nigh on impossible to leave any behind right ;))

Havent had a chance to try the pressed duck at the Marriott's Belle Epoque Menu but did get to play with the duck press (all fingers still intact just).  choice now is a nanna nap or an empanada challenge...  wonder which one will win?
