YEITE best of buenos aires

Yeite is Pame Villar’s first solo venture. Villar is widely regarded as Buenos Aires’ number one pastry chef. This cosy brasserie is located in the Villa Crespo area, an up and coming part of the city, next door to JT, revered local designer Jessica Trosman’s beautiful warehouse boutique.

Food at Yeite is heavily inspired by the Middle East, with ingredients such as sumac making a welcome appearance. Lunchtime salad offerings are colourful and displayed on the wooden counter, with the small sharing dishes as the main strength, and roasted beets, broken roasted potatoes and zucchini fritters as reliable mainstays. Don’t pass up the molten chocolate pudding to end on a decadent sweet note.
