Beer by the litre, meat by the slab, and a good old storm!

I'll keep it brief! There's a storm brewing and I've taken shelter in what I guess is an Argentinian equivalent of a greasy spoon!

Of late, apparently, the evenings tend to see rainfall and the occasional storm! Seeing how wet people are walking into the"restaurant" i'm in, I'll take that as a given!

So where am I? Will I went for a wonder into San Telmo and discovered a labyrinth of cobbled streets and quirky antique shops, nestled amongst them, the restaurant i'm in now, El Desnivel.

Had I just passed this place on the street, I wouldn't have come in. it's hard to describe but it's a bit shabby and the tables are a bit rickety, but it's listed in my guide book as a good spot for meat! How right they are! I've just had a slab, and I mean slab!  of tenderloin cooked to perfection (medium rare for me) and a plate of fries! The meat was so tender and so full of flavour, no sauce, no condiments in sight, just full flavoured juicy meat!

Beer, it appears, is served in litre bottles! Hmmmmmm, well when it's put in front of you I guess you just have to drink!

Put this place in your note books of must visit eateries in Buenos Aires!

So after eating, I braved the outside, talk about torrentrial rain! I'm drenched!
