CUISINE
Mouthwatering dishes and treasured family recipes define traditional cuisine in
Argentina. Whether unwinding at a downtown street café, or sitting at the table
of a trademark steakhouse, travelers will be amazed with the wide selection of
meats, pastas, and wines present on the menu.
Delightful Italian influences provide flavorful plates of ñoquis and tallarines as
staples of the local diet, while the central plains of Argentina offer delectable
beef barbecues envied worldwide. Rural estancias welcome international
guests with a plethora of robust sirloins and chorizos hot off the grill, served in
the shade of towering trees. The northwest region boasts a variety of
empanadas served from adobe ovens - hot pastries stuffed with beef, chicken,
green onions and olives. The west coast offers similar choices, though often
complimented with tall glasses of flavorful wine produced in Mendoza. Patagonia
allows travelers to feast on other favorites during southern excursions: roasted
lamb in Bariloche, king crabs in Ushuaia, and fresh fish in Puerto Madryn. If there
is still room for dessert, we recommend the alfajores with dulce de leche, found
in neighborhood bakeries across Argentina. From fine restaurants to convenient
bistros, a fine meal can be found at all price levels!
