Sinclair

[Hunt99]

Wanted to share a recommendation which was made to me about this restaurant, I found it excellent.

Located at Sinclair 3096, in Palermo. Tel. 4899-0283

Now this place is worth making a trip to. Excellent modern French in a contemporary environment.

Several-course dinner for two, about 200 pesos. It will be more if you work your way through their extensive wine list. Drinks and some wines are available by the glass, of course.

Here's an interesting, Google-translated interview with the head chef of Sinclair.

He describes it as Spanish food, not the French I thought it was. What the hell do I know, anyway? Whatever it's called, it's good eatin', that's what I know!

I had lunch here again recently. I had the best rack of lamb that I can ever remember eating.

High-class cuisine, and the chef-owner made a visit to the table to say hello. Probably my new favorite restaurant in Buenos Aires.

[Hunt99]

Hmmm. It appears they now serve anybody.;)

Hunt is generally a good judge of restaurants, and IMHO is spot on about Sinclair.

I have eaten here twice and it was excellent both times, both in quality of food and service.

Not cheap but not too expensive for the quality - I would estimate dinner for 2 including everything (wine, dessert, etc. Will be between 100-200 pesos. The appetizers are, oddly enough, more expensive then some of the entrees, but they are excellent!

Hunt99,

DickHead stated in his post that it was the second time he was there.

It was me, "Exon" that took him the first time.

He was very skeptical at first and quite critical of the place to start. Since we arrived early we were the first table in the place. But as the other guest's started to arrive DickHead took a kean interest in the "Calilber of Pussy" that started arriving with there male escorts. In time the highest class of Pussy to be found in all of Argentine was all over the room.

As the evening wore on DickHead became more & more impressed realizing this place was expensive. In that the Argentine's were paying big peso's which were the same as our dollars too us four years ago. This ment that only the wealthyest of Argentines could afford the place. Which brought him to the conclusion that Rich people Fuck better looking Pussy than poor people, well Da.

WE finally finished had Coffee and I paided the bill, (I always pay the bill with DickHead) about $200 peso's for the two of Us. Walking down to the main street DickHead remarked he would repete, but it always tastes better when someone else buy's.

Exon,

If I remember correctly I introduced you to Sinclair myself, didn't I? After you had a couple of Beefeaters in your system, the chef came by the table to chat with us, and you offered him a job to come work in the construction trades in America. He was quite amused, thinking that though he was employed as a chef, he might have really missed his true calling of swinging a hammer.

Let me return the compliment on Dave's judgment on restaurants, as well. He introduced me to Azema, also in Palermo, and also reviewed on this board. I ate there again recently, this time with our friend Moore, and it remains excellent. Azema had a pretty cute waitress too, although she wasn't buying the line of bullshit that Moore was trying to sell her. Smart girl to avoid Mr. Chumayo.;)

[Moore]

My opinion of Azema is that is was a nice place with fairly good food but I have no plans to repeat. I always talk straight and thus will say it was kind of a faggy artsyfartsy place with too much pink, bubbles, and lace. Never seen a smaller menu or wine list anywhere. The starter I had was tasty - basically a cambiotta (sp?) salad like you will find by the boatload at La Bistecca buffet salad bar. The chicken and potatoes main course tasted like chicken and potatoes with a nice sauce. There are much better restaurants of all types in that Palermo zone IMHO.

Unfortunately my "check please" line did not charm the skirt off of the delicious waitress, though I uttered it in my best "Paulista" Castellano accent. That babe made up for the upcoming horror show to be endured at Black. While jackhammering the Madonna whoare later that night I had the Azema waitress in mind.
