December 22nd
Today was a bit of a lazy day for us. We wandered around areas that we had not visited before and generally took an easy day.
For dinner we made a reservation at Juana M. A restaurant which we had heard was mainly visited by locals – although we were surprised since we had read about it in Frommer’s!
The pictures don’t really do it justice, trust me if you go to BA visit this restaurant.
Inside Juana in BA
We loved the experience of this little restaurant. We liked the feel of the restaurant, it was young and fun and we found it to be really good value. We had a bottle of red wine, we both ordered fillet, shared an order of sweet potato fries and the salad bar was included. The salad bar was nothing to write home about but the meat was good and a huge quantity, we actually could have shared a single order since we were given two fillets each. I can’t remember how much it cost but I do remember it was pretty inexpensive but don’t expect it to be as cheap as Frommer’s indicates it certainly cost more than $5 USD per main course.

Side Trips
We had planned to go to Colonia, Uruguay, Montevideo and even Punte del Este but did not get around to doing it. The cost was more than we planned and the time to get there and back didn’t seem to be worth it. If we were to go again we would have included some time in Uruguay in Punta del Este, Colonia and Montevideo. Our plan to do the three as side trips was not realistic. We would have planned to stay in Uruguay for several days.
Another side trip that we had originally planned to do is a day trip to Tigre just outside of BA. We did hear it was beautiful so it sounds like a worthwhile recommendation.
