Explore the best of Buenos Aires dining, from traditional asados to Michelin-starred delights in our comprehensive food guide. Our first trip to Latin America brought us to the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and yes, it was everything we could have hoped for and more!
So, just as always, I want to tell you all about the food scene we find while exploring the world. But let me be clear: this article is different from your typical rundown of the best Buenos Aires restaurants. Because let's be honest here for a second. That would be impossible, considering the abundance of dining options at every turn. Instead, like always, I aim to share insights into the city's cuisine, sprinkled with personal anecdotes, to help you easily navigate the rich culinary landscape of Buenos Aires.
This being said, let's begin discovering Buenos Aires restaurants one at a time. First and foremost, eating in Buenos Aires means indulging in high-quality beef. Two terms you'll come across frequently are asado and parrilla.
That's why I want to briefly explain them so you don't feel confused when you need to order. So, asado is both a technique and an event - think of it as the Argentine equivalent of a barbecue, where meats are slow-cooked over a grill or parrilla. On the other hand, parrilla refers to both the grill itself and the restaurants specializing in grilled meats. And, while you'll hardly find a place that doesn't serve up a decent steak, there are good experiences and there are memorable ones.
So let me help you spend your time and money wisely. Nestled close to the grandeur of Teatro Colon, this place offers more than just a meal. It provides an experience steeped in Argentine tradition. With its charming architecture, this restaurant is full of locals, which validates its authenticity and quality. The ambiance inside is reminiscent of classic Buenos Aires, with walls adorned with artwork that tells stories of the city's past. As for the wine, it paired flawlessly with our meal, enhancing the already exceptional dining experience.
