About Us
Welcome to Balvanera! We're located at 152 Stanton Street in the heart of Manhattan's ever-emerging Lower East Side Community.
The first project of Argentine Chef Fernando Navas (Samba Brands Management, elBulli, Nobu), Balvanera represents the cuisine and spirit of Buenos Aires - porteña cuisine with influences from the dynamic regions of Argentina. The menu, from inspired and traditional small plates and composed vegetable dishes to signature carnes and friends&family style platos is a journey from Fernando's upbringing in Punta Alta through his time working in great kitchens in Barcelona, Miami and New York City.
The beverage menu has been developed in collaboration with Argentine Sommelier Sebastian Koncurat Urondo and award-winning mixologist Christian Sanders of craft cocktail group, Drummer Hoff Hospitality. The program showcases a noteworthy selection of new world wines (primarily Argentine), some old world gems and a particular selection of beer (Argentine favorites and specialty brews developed by our friends). Wine is available by glass, carafe or bottle - accommodating guests with a wide range of options for a great value. For low alcohol libations, Sanders highlights sherry, vermouth, specialty small batch aperitifs - as well as a Sangria de la Casa.
Balvanera takes it’s name from a historic ‘barrio’, or neighborhood, of Buenos Aires where poets, musicians and creatives once convened. Entering the restaurant, guests will be welcomed by Balvanera’s Buenos Aires elegance and Lower East Side’s laid back charm. With two full sides of French doors, the corner space gets glorious sunshine by day and the LES' lights and action by night. On the soundtrack: A colorful rotation of American classic rock and jazz to funk and soul; Morrissey, Nina Simone, Amy Winehouse, David Bowie, Santigold) integrated with some more esoteric albums from Argentina and Spain. A huge contribution to the ‘feel’ of the space is the service: warm, friend-like hospitality. Staff will wear handsome leather-trimmed aprons by Fuga, Argentine designers and friends from Fernando’s hometown (which will soon be available on our website!)
