fine Villeroy and Bach table settings, linen
cloths and several antique chandeliers. Of the
two dining areas, we prefer the lower level.

The terrine of salmon is superb. The sopa del
mar, seafood soup, features crabmeat, lobster
chunks, tender mussels and fish from the
Paraná River in a light cream sauce. The steak
Tiber de queso atuel con tomate y albahaca
fresca (steak with cheese, tomato and fresh
basil) is a tasty alternative for landlubbers.
Prix-fixe menus are available.

The London Grill is the most popular British
eatery in a city with many Brits. This was one
of Borges' favorite haunts - the blind poet
savored classical English cuisine just as locals
do here today. Turkey, leg of lamb and roast
beef with Yorkshire pudding are specialties at
the grill. Britain puts its best foot forward with
this warmly inviting pub. There is an oyster bar
here as well.

British in style
and cuisine.

Another popular British pub, Downtown
Matias is at 979 San Martín ( 312-9844). Spe-

cialties here are the hot chicken curry and the
steak and kidney pies. Closed weekends.
