Casa Cavia Cavia 2985, Palermo Chico Buenos Aires (549) 11 3640-7805 casacavia.com By Markin Abras | Photos Casa Cavia Casa Cavia sits at Cavia 2985 in Buenos Aires’ Palermo Chico neighborhood, housed in a 1927 mansion designed by Norwegian architect Alejandro Christophersen. The address signals its intent: modern cuisine in a historic setting, positioned at the upper end of the dining spectrum. The space combines a Michelin-starred restaurant with a publishing house, bookstore, wine cellar, and flower shop, functioning as a cultural destination as much as a place to dine. The mansion has been carefully restored, preserving its original structure while adapting it for contemporary use. A standout feature is the central courtyard, filled with lush vegetation and anchored by a mature tree set within a decorative reflecting pool. This open-air space serves as the heart of the property, offering an immersive garden experience. The kitchen, led by Julieta Caruso, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a strong focus on vegetables and seasonal produce. Menus change regularly. Lunch offerings include light starters such as marinara with stracciatella and tomatoes, cured prawns with green curry, and grilled marinated trout. Mains favor housemade pastas, the catch of the day with beurre blanc and lemon verbena oil, and a midday-only grilled pork with romesco and apple.
