Easter at Gourmet Porteno











After the Easter church service, I headed to Puerto Madero with a friend for a feast at Gourmet Porteno, one of the premier tenedor libres (buffets or literally, 'free fork') for Easter brunch. For just 120 pesos ($30 US), you could select as much (or little) as you wanted from their parilla (grill) with tons of steak, sweetbreads, chicken, etc. There was also a fresh pasta, sushi, paella and seafood station, with all of the dishes cooked right in front of your eyes. The dessert station had literally dozens upon dozens of cakes, pastries, flans, etc. and the wine was of a good quality.

We ended up filling our plates - and stomachs - for several hours before heading to Duhau Palace Park Hyatt for some Bloody Marys and to take in the ambience of what is probably one of the best hotels in South America. Happy Easter!
