closed doors and open hearts
Almacén Secreto
A few years ago closed- door restaurants began to open in Buenos Aires.
Young chefs began to open the doors of their houses with the idea of treating guests with a delicious home-made meal, sharing nice conversation and allowing people to interact with people they don’t know. Sometimes, guests can also enjoy wine tasting, acoustic music shows and art exhibitions before, during or after dinner.
The first one we went to is Casa Saltshaker. We enjoyed a delicious dinner in a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. There were just two or three tables, so it was a nice opportunity to meet and chat with strangers from other places. We shared a table with a couple from Chicago and had a very nice time chatting with them.
These closed door restaurants are accessed by recommendation, naturally.
The proposals are varied. Some open weekends only and others on weekdays. Reservations are required.
