Nestled discreetly in the vibrant Palermo Hollywood neighborhood, Buri Omakase offers an intimate and immersive Japanese dining experience unlike any other in Buenos Aires. Behind an unassuming facade on Guatemala 5781, guests are ushered into an authentic, elegantly designed dining room featuring an exclusive 10-seat counter, setting the stage for a truly personal culinary journey.
Under the masterful guidance of prestigious chef Marcelo Elefoso (also known as Marcelo Ell), Buri Omakase presents a meticulously crafted 15 to 16-course degustation menu that honors Kyoto traditions while showcasing the finest local Argentine seafood. Chef Elefoso, a pioneer in utilizing and dry-aging Argentine fish, sources his ingredients directly from trusted fishermen along the Atlantic coast, ensuring unparalleled freshness and intense flavor profiles. The menu, which changes nightly based on the day's catch, promises a symphony of unique hot, cold, and nigiri dishes that transcend a typical sushi experience.
