Restaurante El Imparcial, a Piece of Spain in the Heart of Buenos Aires
... Mayo (map)(from Avenida 9 de Julio to the Congreso Nacional) is where a good part of the Spaniard community settled. Here you will find a number of restaurants, hotels and theatres deeply connected with the community.
Among some of the restaurants, there is one which I will like to outline, this is the restaurant El Imparcial. This restaurant was established by Don Manuel Garcia in October of 1860. Since then (amid the many transformations throughout the years) the restaurant has been serving Spanish...

Enjoy a Patio Party at Las Margaritas Mexican Restaurant
... at Bard on the Beach this summer, or perhaps just browsing the trendy shops along Fourth Avenue, why not stop by the Las Margarita’s Mexican restaurant and enjoy dinner on the patio? The patio is one of the best in Vancouver, seating up to 60 people.
This has a become a tradition of my friend and I. We always look forward to tucking into a spicy, delicious Mexican meal before heading down the hill to the Bard tents at Vanier Park.
It was a pleasant day when we stopped by there last week and...

Authentic Greek Dining, With Plate Smashing, at Sydney’s Aesop’s Restaurant
... festival or another giving us a reason to celebrate. And of course, every night you can try authentic ethnic cuisine at hundreds of cool restaurants.
One of my favourites is Aesop’s, a bona fide plate-smashing Greek restaurant in the city centre.
The Greek flag
All food is authentically Greek and prepared fresh on the premises. You’ll enjoy dolmades, slow-roasted lamb, marinated vegetables, and rich sticky desserts. And of course, there’s plenty of ouzo to wash it down.

Paleis van de Weemoed, Oudezijds Voorburgwal 15, (map)

Diners are seated at round tables for six persons. Fifi l’Amour sings and introduces her guests. The haunting melodies of Dutch, French, Yiddish songs are a true musical feast.

Celebrate the 4th of July in Dublin
Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317
Travelers who know Ireland will be able to spot places with an American influence very easily. While there are some traditional Irish foods that I love, this isn’t a country that specializes in sandwiches. In recent years lunch spots in Dublin have popped up that add an American twist to simple Irish sandwiches. One of my favorites calls itself a New York style deli, and makes some of the biggest and tastiest sandwiches in town: The Pig & Heifer.
New York delis are known for their selection...

Restaurant Review: El Gaucho in Seattle’s Belltown
Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317
When it comes to a great steak, my favorite Seattle steakhouse is El Gaucho. The restaurant dates back to the 1970’s when it was THE place to go, and after a brief hiatus from the steakhouse scene has risen again to even greater prominence, first with its Belltown location, and now in Tacoma and Bellevue as well. With quality food and attentive,yet not hovering or obsequious service, it’s easy to see how El Gaucho has earned its reputation.
While all of the El Gaucho locations offer the...

The first Japanese restaurant in Lisbon is still one of the top choices in town. As you arrive to the fancy and luxurious Penha Longa Resort, you get a felling of what you’re up to. Still, what I expected to be a calm dinner, turned out to be quite a busy one.
Entering the Penha Longa Hotel in its grandeur and chick atmosphere is half the fun. On the first floor, the first Japanese restaurant in Lisbon (from 1993) is still attracting Portuguese sushi addicts. And although I suspected it would be...

The dining space has recently been expanded and updated with a jolt of understated Asian chic and the showpiece open kitchen always buzzes...

Combine History & Pints in Dublin
Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317
There are a few places in Dublin where you can combine historical attractions & enjoying a pint of Guinness. From the literary pub Davy Byrne’s to the Old Jameson Distillery, it is possible to learn something new about Dublin while sipping away on a local drink. This past weekend I was in the center of Dublin when a rainstorm suddenly erupted – where to wait out the storm? Friends brought me to a place I hadn’t been before, Odeon.
The Irish are surrounded by history, and therefore...

Truthfully, I wasn’t going to stop in Cherokee, but it was lunch time and I was intrigued by the restaurant and even more so by Cherokee. It was a sunny day and I didn’t have to be anywhere anytime soon, it was the perfect time to explore.

Cantina Crawl: Salón Tenampa
... a recent visit to Plaza Garibaldi, a popular destination for live mariachi music in the capital, I decided to check out Salón Tenampa, a well-known restaurant, bar and nightclub on the northern end of the plaza. The atmosphere inside Salón Tenampa differs from that out in the plaza and it’s definitely worth a visit. Grab a seat at the bar or in one of the tall wooden booths, order a few drinks from waiters in suits, listen to the mariachi bands, or better yet sing along, and take in the...

Tetsuya’s restaurant is regularly named one of the best in the world, so it’s safe to say that it probably offers the finest meal you’ll taste in Sydney.
Of course, this sort of quality doesn’t come cheaply. But if you’ve got a few hundred dollars to spare, a night out at Tetsuya’s is worth your while.

Tetsuya’s is the brainchild of Tetsuya Wakuda. He left his native Japan at the age of 22, lured to Australia by his love of koalas. He...

Beer, Bistro, and a Bed at Sydney’s Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel

That’s right: the Lord Nelson Brewery is a microbrewery, pub, restaurant, and hotel in one.
The Lord Nelson is the first, and only, boutique brewery in Sydney. They brew six 100% natural ales on the premises. The drinks are a little expensive, but they’re so tasty that it’s worth the price. The Admiral Ale is my pick, but there’s plenty of variety to suit all palates.
Variety is also the order of the day...
