At the height of circuits in London, Los Angeles and Barcelona.

This is how Time Out, a prestigious British publication -digital and printed- with a presence in 58 countries, positions

Thames,

one of the streets with the greatest gastronomic movement in the City of Buenos Aires

, which it placed

in the top 10 of the most " cool "of the world.

For the selection, they surveyed 27 thousand inhabitants of different cities and asked specialized local journalists to classify the main streets of the world taking into account

criteria related to food, entertainment, culture and community

“

All these streets have great stories

to tell.

They are a microcosm of everything we love about cities: dining that is a destination unto itself,

vibrant local culture

, tons of history, and in a year where dreams of travel faded and we had to stay closer to home,

they helped us to feel that we were part of something bigger too

”, details the article published in Time Out, titled

The 30 coolest streets in the world

About Thames, Sorrel Moseley-Williams - an English journalist living in Buenos Aires - writes: "

A bustling street that connects the elegant Palermo with the most avant-garde Villa Crespo

, is well known for its independent kitchens and bars, many of them located in buildings restored ".

The hearty dishes at Sarkis, a Thames Street standout.

What places recommends visiting Time Out on Thames Street

The circuit suggested by this gastronomy expert starts in

Sarkis

and highlights the feature that the many regulars of this

Armenian food still life

stand out most

: its affordable prices

Its abundant tabboule salads, its fried and raw keppe and its rice pilaf are some of the unbeatable hits to share among several.

He also mentions Las Pizarras, a contemporary signature cuisine space of which "quality small plates" stand out.

Moseley-Williams' inventory of elect continues with the Asian steakhouse

Niño Gordo

, the churros and taco bar Juan Pedro Caballero and

"choripanería al paso", Chori.

In the circuit there is also room for novelties: name Mercat, a gourmet market with 27 recently opened stores.

And when it comes to drinks, he leans towards

Tres Monos

: "has been classified as one of the best bars in the world," the article states.

Choripanería al paso "Chori", one of the places highlighted by Time Out.

From the

Cacho rotisserie

, which has a very Buenos Aires culinary concept, it underlines its specialization in aperitifs and about

Puro Bistro

, it indicates that it is the place for cigar and whiskey fans.

In the recommendations you could not miss a grill

The one chosen was an unconventional but always very crowded one:

La Carnicería

In this place, characterized by its short menu and its smoked dishes, culinary critics are inclined to recommend "

sinful

gizzards with a touch of sugar cane honey".

Also, a place that especially attracts the attention of foreigners, Todos mates, which sells from yerbas mate (organic and flavored), to elegant light bulbs and equipment with artisan added value.

And for those who want to have a few drinks, he suggests visiting a Buenos Aires nighttime classic,

Bar 878

It has been more than fifteen years that behind a great door, that the days of pandemic service is always open, and a capicúa number hides this "cavernous space with two bars directed by the excellent bartender Julián Díaz."

In this case, the advice is very punctual, try

The French 4, a sparkling

gin

and pear

drink

, ideal for the closing toast.
