Eating
La Abuela
ARGENTINE $
(Rivadavia 1109; mains AR$60-75; noon-3pm & 7:30-11pm Mon-Fri)
Shoehorn yourself into
this family nook decked out in lace tablecloths, and enjoy cheap gnocchi, homemade
pasta and home-cooked classics like
puchero
(vegetable and meat stew) with a carafe of
passable house wine.
Cheers
PUB $
( 457041; cnr Sarmiento & Av Alvear; mains AR$30-80; noon-late)
Don't let the Irish-pub
atmosphere fool you into thinking this is just another stock standard watering hole: Kil-
larney's serves up good set lunches, too, and a range of hearty soups, salads and sand-
wiches with the Guinness, of course.
