The love that locals in Buenos Aires have for meat has been long documented, however Narda Lepes, a woman who is well known thanks to her cookery books and TV appearances, is slowly changing this attitude. She is a champion of healthy ingredients and a vegetarian diet, hence the predominance she gives to vegetables here. Her stuffed onion dish will satisfy even the most die-hard of carnivores, while her silky tofu is a culinary legacy that originates from her travels overseas. Although there’s a plethora of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, that doesn’t mean that her restaurant is fully vegetarian as evidenced by her ossobuco, a legendary dish in every respect. The bright and roomy white dining space gives the impression of being in a particularly elegant cafeteria, enhanced by the equally spacious open kitchen. Service here begins with breakfast, hence the different dining incarnations through the day, from morning coffee to lunchtime snacks and dinner with friends.
