Bio Review

In a nation where meat reigns supreme, finding an organic vegetarian restaurant is a near impossibility. Bio is the exception. Their "meat" is made on the premises from wheat, then marinated to add flavor, making for an elevated, tasty variation on a hamburger. All ingredients are organic and grown or produced in Argentina. Piles of organic cheese line the counters near the chefs, who are happy to explain their processes. Quinoa, the ancient Incan grain, is used in many dishes. You must try the quinoa risotto, one of the restaurant's specialties, though everything here is delicious. Chairs and tables are painted a spring green, and, on warm days, a few tables are scattered on the sidewalk outside. This is also a great place for veg-heads to buy snacks to bring back to their hotel. They have a small shop inside selling organic chips, teas, cheeses, and even organic wine. Best of all, they offer organic cooking classes; check the website for details.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
