Ølsen - Pure BA Nouveau With A Scandi Touch



Ølsen is a well designed Northern European inspired restaurant in Palermo Hollywood. It's located in an old warehouse with a big welcoming patio. They serve vodka shots and their dishes are all served with a Scandinavian touch.

Ølsen has probably the coolest open patio in all of BA; very loungy with comfortable low chairs with leather seats. The interior design is very 70s James Bond with a fireplace and a metal chimney in the middle of the restaurant. The furniture is vintage Scandinavian.

They serve a 3-course lunch with a beer or a bottle of water for AR$20 per person. The dishes are often very eclectic. Today I had smoked salmon on top of a waffle with cream sauce, papas and a potato salad with avacado and boiled eggs. The Missus had the same except a risotto instead of the salmon.

As most of our favorite Boho restaurants in BA, Ølsen offers a bunch of fashion and pop culture magazines as an after lunch treat which extends the stay in this really comfortable and inspired enviroment. We are really looking forward to go there for dinner.
