The Best Dining in Palermo: Olsen

Where: Gorriti 5870, Buenos Aires, Argentina

This week, we're highlighting the best restaurants in the Palermo 'hood of Buenos Aires.

Today's pick gets so much hype, it almost seems unnecessary to include it. But if it's a list of great Palermo restaurants we intend to make, Olsen has to be on it.

The too-cool-for-school Scandinavian spot has been seen in just about every glossy magazine and design book, thanks to its exquisite decor and foxy waitstaff decked out in Penguin polos. Having an almost endless list of vodkas can't hurt either.

Dinner is a mix of Northern European (think smoked salmon) and Argentine (think pork shoulder), while lunch starts at noon and offers a short menu from which you mix and match an entree and two sides.

We'd recommend reservations for the insanely popular Sunday brunch service, but other times you can probably walk in. Oh, and they have WiFi, so you won't miss a moment of what's hot on the architecture blogs!

PALERMO'S BEST RESTAURANTS

Great series with great pictures.  Never been to BA -yet... The stories gave me a good idea of what dining experiences await when I finally get to travel there.  The places you featured are much nicer than I could have imagined.  Keep sampling and reporting!

Olsen rocks!

At last I found someone sharing my love for Olsen! Olsen and Casa Cruz are the top in BA. For atmosphere, quality of food and presentation, there are few places that can compare to them: Centro Vasco Francés, Restó and few others... here is a pretty good selection imho: http://www.slevart.com/buenos-aires-travel-guide/buenos-aires-best-restaurants/
