our first meal in BA - El Mirabel at Puerto Madero

We managed to find the perfect wine for our first drink on Argentinian soil - a gran reserva, round, senusal and welcoming

while the chorizo was spectacular (just spicy enough with a crumbly texture) my choice of grilled tripe was not so successful.  in fact it was a bit like eating rubbery straws

still think this was the best piece of meat so far - and look it's shaped like Australia...tasty and lean which apparently comes from the fact the steer is castrated before he reaches "bullhood"

Puerto Madero from the city side - on the other side lies the port, with converted warehouse after converted warehouse of restaurants, cafes and fast food.  very touristy but worth a look.  we steered clear (no pun intended) of the most oft-referred tourist restaurants mentioned in all the guides and so packed full of non-locals (never a good sign) plus at least double the price
