Arevalito

Arevalito review Rate it

Veggies should make a pilgrimage to this divinely cramped boho café in Palermo Hollywood - or pull up a seat in the street for more enjoyable, spacious viewing. Formerly known as Providencia and located round the corner on Cabrera, Arevalito stands out for its home-made food and for its daily sandwich special - fit for a king's picnic. Starring roles go to the four daily dishes on a menu that changes between lunch and dinner, with support from a vegetable tart, a salad of the day and nine puddings.

The pastry on the leek and potato tart we had was close to perfect: crumbly, thick and tasty; and digging into the 'Brusqueteando con Willis' salad was like a voyage of discovery, turning up goat's cheese, sunflower seeds, black olives, garlic, parsley, beans, mushrooms, spinach, pear, basil and tomato. Spectacular and delicious, as is the refreshing lemon pomelade.
