( 4957-0001; Av Boedo 857; mains AR$40-80; 8am-late)
This classic cafe, one of the city's
official
bares notables
(notable bars), is an off-the-beaten-path spot where you can relax
with a platter of
picadas
(meat, cheese and olives) and a bottle of wine, or a frosty mug of
artisan-crafted beer and a huge sandwich piled high with sliced turkey. The atmospheric
main room is a bit snug; sidewalk tables are best for the claustrophobic.
MALVÓN $$
( 4774-2563;
www.malvonba.com.ar
; Serrano 789; mains AR$50-130; 8am-8:30pm)
Famous for
its US-style weekend brunch - which features pancakes, French toast and eggs Benedict -
Malvón is an eatery with a wonderfully rustic yet upscale atmosphere. The gourmet sand-
wiches are tasty, but there are also great bagels, burgers, tapas and baked treats like
scones, muffins and pecan pie. Expect a wait on the weekend. Also in
Palermo

( 4372-1146; Junín 548; mains AR$90-120; noon-3pm & 7:30-11:30pm Mon-Fri, 7:30-11:30pm Sat)
Korean food can't be beat at this simple restaurant. Go for the
bulgogi
(grill the meat
yourself at the table),
bibimbap
(rice bowl with meat, veggies, egg and hot sauce) or
kim
chee chigue
(kimchi soup with pork - for adventurous, spice-loving tongues only!). And
don't forget to say
kamsamnida
(thank you) to your server at the end.
