Boomer Retirement Abroad - Secret restaurant dining in Buenos Aires

Across Buenos Aires, hidden behind nondescript front doors and in family living rooms, a host of homespun restaurants are the latest fad and a big hit. 

Have you ever heard of them? The trick is, finding them.

More and more of these closed-door restaurants, or restaurantes a puertas cerradashave been popping in Buenos Aires and they're becoming the most sought-after tables in town. 



They are a cross between a restaurant and dinner party except they are more intimate and social than a regular restaurant.  

They give chefs more leeway to be creative and the menus change daily.

I'm looking forward to visiting the most well-known closed-door restaurant in Buenos Aires, Casa Saltshaker, which is run by Dan Perlman, author of the influential Buenos Aires restaurant review site at www.saltshaker.net. Casa Saltshaker offers a five-course tasting menu (optionally paired with wine) which changes from one day to the next. Every menu at Casa Saltshaker is themed. It seats just 12 people in the Barrio Norte apartment of Perlman - and his partner Henry Tapia.

In Nicaragua they are called Comedores. People expand their dining rooms, usually to encompass a larger outdoor seating area. They use their home kitchens to prepare whatever food they desire to put on the menu. Not only does it work. The results are often a very tasty blend of home cooked meals with a restaurant flair....tasty.
