Feast in Buenos Aires
Unique, Flavorful, Global Dining
Buenos Aires is a city where old-school charm meets cutting-edge cool in the most unexpected ways. When it’s time to eat, Buenos Aires plays by its own rules. Sink your teeth into sizzling parrillas or explore daring new takes on Argentine classics.
Here are a few places to check out:
• Chori - The best choripán. Definitely worth it.
• Casa Barro - Everything is made in a clay oven. Tip: they have incredible empanadas, try the lamb. The 16-hour slow-cooked meat "chega derrete," and the oven-baked fish is also excellent.
• Nola - Incredible cajun cuisine. Go for the classic fried chicken sandwich!
• Mishiguene - A chic Jewish/contemporary restaurant. Reservations are required, and the pastrami is the favorite.
• Sarkis - Arabic cuisine. Arrive early; there's always a line. Cash only. The lamb kafta in yogurt is a must-try.
• Rio Alba - A classic parrilla where it’s just you and the locals. The waiter serves the meat by cutting it with a spoon.
No matter where you dine, each bite is a deep dive into the country’s soulful culinary roots.
