Sagardi-Buenos Aires

Sagardi - Buenos Aires
January 2018

When we were in Barcelona, 3 years ago, we ate at Sagardi and I had the best steak ever. We heard that there was a chain of Sagardi’s and when we found out that there was on in Buenos Aires, and that we were going to Buenos Aires, we were quite happy. Then when we went on the trip, we forgot that there was one here. We were just walking along San Telmo when I saw a sign that said Sagardi and I was so happy that there was a Sagardi in Buenos Aires. Of, course the next thing we did was take a selfie in front of Sagardi. Then we walked in and I stood in the doorway for an extra second to take in the awesome air con. We were greeted by a very jolly Spanish guy he told us that we could sit where ever we liked. Sadly, we had just eaten a very filling lunch and were anything but hungry. So we left with plans to return the next week. 

Then we went back out to the San Telmo Market in search of tango dancers. We found the tango dancers and we also found our friends, Mia, Mick, and Lyn. I was picking out a necklace when somebody hugged me from behind. I turned around and it was Mia! I was really surprised to see Mia. Apparently, my Mom had told Mia’s Dad that we were going to be at the San Telmo Market. I showed Mia’s family where the best steakhouse is, Sagardi. Mia was a little hungry, so she had 2 pinchos (A pincho is a little sandwich from Spain. I had a pincho too, mine had proscuitto and a little bit of tomatoes on top. Then the jolly Spanish guy came over with a platter of pinchos straight from the kitchen. I had a wild mushroom and proscuitto sandwich and it was super, hot, but super good. Then the Spanish guy came again with a platter of shrimp and calamari pinchos. They smelled so good, so I took 1. Then Mia and I played a game of kachiga (a card game). I really wanted to show Mia the stall with all the amazing match sticks. My Dad took Mia, & I to look at the match sticks and the lady was very happy to see me again. Mia looked at the match sticks with a very big magnify glass to see the very tiny details. Then she told me that she wanted to get something for her friend and she found some great origami earrings for her friends. Then we came back to Sagardi and my Mom had ordered my Dad another Mojito. So, Lyn (Mia’s Mom), Mia, my Mom and I went for a walk through all the stalls. Mia found a nice dream catcher thing for one of her other friends. We continued to walk down the long line of stalls and Mia saw a donut stand and wanted one. Mia got me a donut too and it was a very dense donut with a little bit of sugar on top. A couple stalls away from the donut stall there was a stall that had record purses. I had never seen a record purse before. My Mom told me that we could try to make one at home. We saw a bank and went inside but the bank was all out of money. Then we went to the next bank that we saw, and that bank was all out of money too. We saw another bank and went inside and there was no money in that bank either. So, we started walking back to Sagardi. When we got back my Dad had ordered another mojito and Mia’s Dad Mick had one to. The restaurant was almost open for dinner and Mick, Lyn and Mia invited some other friends that they met on the cruise ship to meet us for dinner at Sagardi. They came and we had amazing steak and great sourdough bread with blood sausage and little weenies it was super good. Then we had to go and we called a taxi and said our goodbyes to everybody and left.
