lent river fish on the grill. It doesn't take bookings, so be prepared to wait for a table, as
it's deservedly popular. Be sure not to confuse it with the restaurant located above it.
Lo Mejor del Centro
PARRILLA $
(Santa Fe 1166; mains AR$55-100; 11.30am-3.30pm & 8pm-midnight or later)
When this
par-
rilla
went bust, the staff were left high and dry, but the local government let them re-
open it as a cooperative, and what a great job they've done. The meat's as good as you'll
taste in Rosario, but you can also enjoy homemade pasta, paella, creative salads and a
warm, convivial buzz at the tightly packed tables. The lunchtime set menu is terrific
value.
El Ancla
ARGENTINE $
(Maipú 1101; mains AR$35-70; lunch & dinner)
One of Rosario's many beloved corner res-
taurants, this well-frequented local has an appealingly venerable interior and an authentic
feel. The food - with lots of inexpensive single-plate meals - is reliably good and you al-
ways seem to get a friendly welcome. A good budget choice.
De Buen Humor
ICE CREAM $
(

; Rioja 1560; cones AR$17-30; 10am-10pm; )
Ice

sweet tooth will be mooing contentedly at the optimism-filled decor, patio seating, and
tasty cones, concoctions and fruit salads.
Rincón Vegetariano
VEGETARIAN $
(turinconvegetariano.blogspot.com; Mitre 720; mains AR$25-35; 9am-4pm Mon-Sat; )
This
mostly vegetarian place is focused on healthy eating and weight loss and offers a huge
range of meat-free hot and cold dishes to eat in or take out. There are always all sorts of
deals going, with an all-you-can-eat buffet at lunchtime.
Zazpirak Bat
BASQUE $$$
(
www.zazpirakbat.com
; Entre Ríos 261; mains AR$50-95; 8pm-12.30am Tue-Sat, 12.30-4pm Sun)
From outside, this Basque cultural center gives few clues that there's a restaurant inside,
