Fodor's Expert Review Casa SaltShaker

While puertas cerradas, or closed-door restaurants, have been a part of the Buenos Aires dining scene for decades, they were historically a place you discovered by word-of-mouth. In 2006, that all changed when Dan Perlman and Henry Tapia, the norteamericano and peruano couple behind this 10-seat communal-table home-dining spot, hit the scene.

You'll meet new friends, swap stories, and enjoy creative home cooking. The exact address is provided with reservation, made via the website only.
