Seafood in BA

In Buenos Aires, Argentina, a new restaurant in Barrio Norte called Cilantro (Anchorena 1122; phone 11 4966 2941, e-mail cilantro1122 @gmail.com) is a welcome place to get interesting food beyond the much-touted beef and ubiquitous pizza places.

Created by an Israeli immigrant, it offers fresh seafood and a menu with Mediterranean and Asiatic overtones. In December ’08, entrées ran about $12-$18 per person, with excellent wine for only $5-$8 per glass.
