On Friday night I went with Venetia and Lola to a wine tasting event at a gallery in Palermo called Paul French. There were three reds, one white and some champagne, all very nice. The food, unfortunately, was all cold meats and cheese—no vegan options here! Having eaten nothing for dinner, I had to just eat it, which set me on a slippery slope for the weekend—more on that later.

These photos are a mix of some I took and some contributed by Venetia—you’ll be able to recognize hers as they are much better than mine.

The interesting thing about this place is something I can’t really show here. From the outside, all you see is a big black door, with the Paul French Gallery sign. But inside there’s a beautiful long passageway filled with plants, including a lot of orchids, the cafe section and then some sort of decor store at the back. There are a lot of places like this in Buenos Aires, places that you’d never pay any attention to from the outside but contain hidden gems. Yet another reason to love beautiful Buenos Aires!
