Bar Uriarte

Frommer's Review

This restaurant came onto the scene as one of the city's chicest places to eat. They have many creative dishes, from veal ravioli to saffron risotto to skirt steak with olives and thyme, in a kitchen overseen by one of the few female star chefs in Buenos Aires, Julieta Oiolo. Such basics as parrilla, pasta, and salads round out the menu for the less experimental. There is also an emphasis here on being a destination for drinks alone. There is a long bar (one of the longest in the city), with moody pink lights on the walls, and lounge areas to sit and chat with friends. The bar and lounge are particularly inviting for their 5 to 8pm tea or their 8 to 10:30pm happy hour. There is an industrial chic design with a polished concrete floor, interesting wooden art on the walls, and punches of bold red and oranges and a golden light throughout the space. Upstairs, an art gallery sits in a loft, where you can while away your time waiting for a table. All of the material is for sale. Or choose a table in the patio garden and dine in the open air. Other unique touches here include a horno de barro at the bar where they bake bread and cook with wood for special flavor. The main kitchen is also in the front window of the restaurant, so you can watch as they cook. Needless to say, the kitchen is immaculate from so much attention from onlookers. Saturdays and Sundays, they have a special brunch menu.
