rio-Southâ is Avenida Callao where it joins
Santa Fe, Arenales and Juncal. Lots of cinemas
and shops are here and the main streets are
alive with people well into the night. The area is
up and coming, with lots of new buildings and
renovated ones. It reminds us of Soho in New
York and the Gaslight District of San Diego.
Restaurants are informal, as is the dress code.
AU BEC FIN

Lunch and dinner

Au Bec Fin is neither a newcomer on the city
dining scene nor trendy and informal. It is,
however, the top dining spot in this area, par-
ticularly if you enjoy French food. The restau-
rant occupies all three floors of what was an
elegant home in the 1920s. It changed hands
several times until Au Bec Fin opened in 1983.
There are several dining rooms, some so small
that they only hold three or four tables. The dim
lighting, elegant tableware and relative privacy
makes Au Bec Fin a romantic dining experi-
ence. Friends raved about the mousse, which is
made with shrimp or liver. The fish dishes are
terrific and not heavily sauced and the beef is
stuffed with mushrooms and other ingredients.
They offer a
four-course
price-fixed din-
ner.
