The homemade bread and humus, served free before your meal, are sublime.

Artemisia has two locations in the city. I visited the larger one at Gorriti twice, once for dinner and once for breakfast. As a matter of fact – lucky me – I stayed in an Airbnb apartment right across the street.

I had a lovely salmon ravioli with rice and salad for dinner.

The food was so…good! There’s organic wine too and highly recommended fresh squeezed ginger lemonade.

It wasn’t just the food that made it such a pleasant experience. Also, the nice staff and lovely, simple interior and the reasonable prices all contributed. When the weather is nice, you can sit outside.

In the Palermo area in Buenos Aires, you can find several LPQs. I had lunch twice at the one in the Arcos Shopping Centre, Paraguay 4797. It is located in one of the old buildings of a former railway site. The food, coffee and juices were excellent. That was the reason I went there twice.

Refreshing food and drink at LPQ

I had a lovely cold gazpacho (which was really nice with the warm temperature in summer) and a rich vegetarian salad with goat cheese. Many of their menu items are vegetarian and vegan. Finally, I’d like to mention that the staff wears 100% organic t-shirts.
