Restaurants in Buenos Aires
Cafes and restaurants are a big part of Buenos Aires
life. Steak Houses and Grills are very popular in Argentina-this is
the country with the highest per capita consumption of meat in the
world. Most Argentines have an Italian descent, you can find a lot of
Italian restaurants in the city. You can also find a variety of ethnic cuisines, Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, Thai, Indian, etc.
However, here's the bad news: unless you want to eat steaks for
breakfast, lunch and dinner, an average Buenos Aires restaurant
is a disappointment for food, even though the decoration and ambience of the places is absolutely amazing!. Fully aware of this, we have made a list of the
absolute best restaurants in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We hope this list helps you a little,
and you can eat well in this city!
These A-list restaurants are our absolute personal favorites (no one can buy their way into this list.. :-) )
The neighborhood is included in italics (e.g. Puerto Madero, Palermo). Prices are approx. for an average dinner including an appetizer. Weekends can be very busy in many restaurants, we suggest you call ahead to book your table.
