Best Places to Eat
in Buenos Aires
B
uenos Aires has a wonderful assortment of
restaurants. Throughout the city are scores
of exceptional eateries where first-rate food, in-
timate atmosphere and impeccable service
make dining an event to be remembered. On an
evening when your mood is far more casual,
you'll find an even larger number of places
where you can enjoy delicious food in informal
and unconventional surroundings.
In a business that is notoriously fickle, where
restaurants open to great fanfare and fade
quickly, Buenos Aires boasts many that have
remained popular for over 20 years.
The amalgam of people from more than a dozen
different countries, each arriving with
grandma's favorite recipe, has resulted in res-
taurants that cater to a multitude of palates.
So, whether you crave ravioli, sushi or paella,
you'll find a restaurant - in fact, you'll find sev-
eral - to satisfy you. Steakhouses prevail,
where grilled meats such as beef, lamb and
pork are cooked on huge skewers over coals
from local
quebracho
trees. Chunks of meat are
often brought to your table on small grills that
keep them hot as you eat. Beef is well-
represented on restaurant menus throughout
the city. Buttery soft and lower in fat than its
“Tenedor Libre”
means all you
can eat.
