"The Lord of the Steak"

(English) As you can see Viggo and Elijah came to eat "al restaurant" and we could not leave pass the possibility to take a picture with them (if you wanna a picture with us, you are more than welcome :-). They were very nice, especially Viggo that came with the flag of San Lorenzo (Argentine football team) and he place it of tablecloth. The funny things was when Yumi arrive, i told her to go and greet Frodo (Elijah), and when she was in front of him the only thing she was able to say was "where is smeagol.?” (aka gollum) Hahahaaaa! !!.
(Spanish) Como veran Viggo y Elijah vinieron a comer al restaurant y no podiamos dejar pasar la posibilidad de fotografiarnos con ellos. La verdad gente muy macanuda, especialmente el Viggo que se vino con la bandera de San Lorenzo y la puso de mantel.
La anecdota de la noche la puso Yumi (super mosa) cuando llego y le dije anda a saludar a Frodo (Elijah) y de los nervios lo unico que pudo decir fue "where is smeagol..?"(alias gollum) jajajaaaa!!!.

The Opening

On January 8th, 2007 we had the Opening Party at 129 Queenstown Rd., Battersea. Many, friends, suppliers and guests were present. It was a wonderful night. An old friend and client "el doctor" gave us a lovely present made by himself describing the party with the following words: "Argentine hospitality and smiles were the order of the evening as Alberto and staff hosted what had to be one of the best parties down Queenstown Road, Battersea in early January. With plenty of fine Argentine wines, friends, family and guests were also treated to tasty steaks, grilled to perfection by Gustavo which ensured the party was still going strong at midnight. So until my next visit to Buen Ayre "Ciao, hasta luego".

Largamos!!!!

Estas son fotos de los dias previos a la apertura. El almuerzo del 19 con todos, los ultimos retoques y el dia que arrancamos, con la presencia de Juanita. ;-))

Krakow, the polish restaurant

These are pictures of the premises when we found it in August 2006 and the building process until we opened in December. The building work started on August 22nd and finished on December 21st. It took exactly 4 months.

Te acordás hermano...?

Se acuerdan del Año Nuevo de Enero del 2006? Que lindo la pasamos ehhhh!?!?!?! Y cuantas caruchas conocidas. La unica cagada fue que esos papelitos del orto nos mancharon toda la barra y que esas binchas nos dejaron marcada toda la frente. ;-))
