http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14871 No English spoken but ask for 'chop Quilmes' (draught beer) and that may be all the Spanish you need!

I met six other Irishmen at a football game and they announced they were off to a bar they had found that they really liked - turned out to be the same one I had discovered days before: Bar Seddon!
The food is not bad either.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14871 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14870
Follow with a helados (ice cream) and coffee. In June it set me back 40 pesos - including tip.
Definitely no fancy stuff here, this is a local restaurant full of portenos. Although tourists do know about it. Fantastico, I thought!

Stroll down the street to Bar Seddon afterwards. In fact, San Telmo is full of interesting bars, cafes and restaurants.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14870 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14868 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14868 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12161 It is comprised of small rooms and is dark and comfortable.

Live music most nights - you must hear the Grand Central Band with their take on all types of music. The singer has a fabulous voice; the keyboardist used to bring his Hammond organ along (complete with Lesley) but sticks to his Yamaha these days.

Retire to one of the sofas in the back rooms to escape the crowds.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12161 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12160
Try the lamb pasanda from "A Taste of Turkey" (the proprietor is actually Iranian) for NZ$8.50 (that's £2.40 in Brit money).
The food is better than your average food hall.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12160
