Casa Cavia

If we were to look for a phrase that defines the culinary philosophy of this restaurant, housed in a charming mansion in the Palermo Chico neighborhood, it would be “commitment to local ingredients.” Casa Cavia boasts an elegantly classic interior that blends with the contemporary decor, but what is particularly striking here is the delightful terrace at the back (adorned with a water feature in the center), which has become a trendy spot where people come not only to eat but also to be seen. The chef at the helm, Julieta Caruso, showcases her cuisine on a concise, contemporary-style à la carte menu where vegetables play a predominant role in dishes that appear to be simply prepared but are based on the very best ingredients. Her vegetarian recipes, which take pride of place here, are accompanied by other dishes featuring fish and meat, such as grilled fish of the day, roasted shrimp, marinated beef ribs, and more.
