Pulpería Quilapán

Great place to escape the craziness of the San Telmo market. So cute on the inside and there was an older woman playing piano. Environment is wonderful.

Food is good but not the best. Feels very rustic and authentic. Still a great lunch spot!


Also ORDER THE WINE SERVED IN A PENGUIN JUG

Recommended by Veronica at the 5th Floor Hotel, Pulperia ("grocery store") Quilapan in San Telmo was well worth the 30-minute taxi ride from our Palermo neighborhood. We were greeted warmly, seated promptly, and handed menus in English. For two Americans from Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood, prices are a heckuva deal--my wife's delicioso guiso del cazador (hunter's stew) was US$6.75, my excelente bondiola de cerdo (pork) a whopping $7.50! They're accompanied by an excellent $8 bottle of Alpamanta Malbec. I splurge and double down on two bottles of a spectacular La Loggia IPA (7%, 50 ibu)--$3.50/each.

We've died and gone to Argentine heaven!

A great restaurant with a variety of pasta and meat specialties and it's open late.

The locale is very well put. Nice yet simple decor (quite typical Buenos Aires style) that has a lot of history. Service was pretty good considering My visit was at 1:30 AM. Food came out fast and was delicious.

The fact that's open late should be no surprise in Buenos Aires since dinner time is late and the city's nightlife extends to.

Came here for delicious choripan and provoleta and doused both in their house Malbec. It was a satisfying meal overall.

It was ok. No chori pan at 5:30 pm. Weird. Place was dead which Was to be expected since Argentinians don't eat until Atleast 9:00. Steak was ok. My daughter did not like the spinach ravioli with the white sauce. All in all it was fine not five stars by no means

The most amazing choripan I have had loving 3 years in the city!!! Amazing amazing amazing!! Great locro. Loved the bread and the atmosphere. Live music on a Sunday makes the heart happy.

I stepped inside here on Argentina's Independence Day (9th July). Lovely welcome drink of mulled wine followed by a very traditional Locra stew served from a giant cauldron. Accompanied by a penguino vase of Malbec wine. Don't think I could have found a better place to celebrate and shelter from the thunderstorm :)

Beautiful interior chock full of antiques and loads of preserved history. We went in the mid afternoon, so the food selections were limited to the snack menu. We had the eggplant empanadas which were delightful, papas bravas which give the Spanish iterations a run for their money, and a garden salad which was fresh but not remarkable. Service was nice and attentive, the music and ambiance were great. The French proprietor was super nice, and gave us a lovely history lesson on the place and a little tour.

This restaurant is an absolute must! We had a wonderful time and the food was delicious. Accented by the lovely woman playing piano on the patio and dancers in the main dining room, who could ask for more!

Really interesting style of restaurant/bar. Owned by a French couple it is decorated to reflect an old fashioned countryside establishment. I am told few exist anywhere now and especially not in the city. Inside it has all sorts of antique style trinkets and accessories hanging everywhere. Outside there is a courtyard where the roof can be pulled back and also a traditional fire BBQ/grill.

We went to try some unusual beer and food. We had pickled wild boar stew & a cheese and chorizo board (not unusual). Beer wise we got to try a quinoa beer, a herb one and also a Argentinian brewed Belgium style beer.

Cool and very different. Definitely worth a look if your in BA.
