Vegetarians & Vegans
Health foods, organic products and vegetarian restaurants are available in Argentina's
biggest cities, but outside of them you'll have to search harder.
Most restaurant menus include a few vegetarian choices, and pastas are a nearly ubi-
quitous option. Pizzerias and
empanaderías
(empanada shops) are good bets - look for
empanadas made with
acelga
(chard) and
choclo (
corn). If you're stuck at a
parrilla
,
your choices will be salads, omelets, pasta, baked potatoes,
provoleta
(a thick slice of
grilled provolone cheese) and roasted vegetables.
Pescado
(fish) and
mariscos
(seafood)
are sometimes available for pescatarians.
