Why it matters: opened in 2024 by infectious-disease doctor Fernando Polack, Alamesa is Buenos Aires’ first restaurant run almost entirely by a team of around 40 neurodivergent young adults – from kitchen to floor – in a knife-free, flame-free kitchen designed around them. The short menu comes from Japanese-Argentine chef Takehiro Ohno; the panko salmon and pastrami beef are the standouts. Lunch only, Wednesday to Sunday, and tables book out far ahead – reserve online well in advance.
