A
Sipan
Either come very hungry or with a friend, ’cause the plates at this attractive Japanese-Peruvian restaurant are meant to be shared. Both traditional (‘criollo’) and Asian-influenced creative dishes (‘chifa’) are available; try the ‘Sipan roll’ (with shrimp, crab, avocado and cream cheese) or well-spiced ceviches.

Buddha Bar
The fanciest restaurant in Belgrano’s Chinatown is this pretty spot, which cooks up creative Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese dishes. Order the shrimp in coconut milk, mixed-mushroom-and-veggie stir-fry or beef curry with tomatoes. The dining area is a slick, red lounge with moody music, and for extra quirkiness there’s an Asian art gallery (open 1pm to 7pm) upstairs and a bonsai ‘deck’ garden. Also open in the afternoon for tea service.

Palitos
As the saying goes, ‘the worse the decor, the better the food’ – and it’s spot on at this Taiwanese restaurant in Belgrano’s Chinatown. Sift through the large menu and zoom in on the pollo a los tres aromas (garlic, ginger and basil chicken), the beef noodle soup, the fried noodles or any sweet-and-sour dish. All are as delicious as any you’d get in BA – just be prepared for Palitos’ famously lackadaisical service. Vegetarians can try nearby Siempre Verde (Arribeños 2127).

Osaka
Sick of the same old cheap steaks? Then Osaka is your remedy, slicing up some of BA’s most exquisite cold, raw fish – and so much more. Catapulting Peruvian and Japanese cuisines together into a whole new level of creativity, Osaka ponies up sublime fusions that look like works of art and taste out of this world. You’ll have to experience it to believe it, so reserve a week in advance, load up the bank account and clear out those parrilla-worn taste buds.
