In-Depth Information
Beef, of course, is the mainstay of most menus.
Regional specialties include beef dishes such as
carbonada
and
locro.
C
arbonada
is made with
beef and peaches, while the especially filling
locro
is made with several different types of
meat and sausage along with corn or wheat.
Pizza could also be considered a regional spe-
cialty since, given the city's large Italian popu-
lation, pizzerias abound.
Cordoba's temperate climate is especially con-
ducive to a late afternoon coffee at a sidewalk
café. Pastries are especially good and are often
filled with
dulce de leche, dulce de batata
(sweet
potato jam) or jams and jellies made from the
native fruits and sugar cane.
Be prepared to
indulge.

create an ambience of old world refinement.
The menu is just as refined, with appetizers
such as
pate Guccio en salsa naranja
(pate in an
orange sauce) and
crêpes de mariscos
(shellfish
crêpes). Entrées include
lomo Guccio
(sirloin),
milanesitos de pollo en crema de choclo
