The Parrilla Tour

Parrillas are Argentine restaurants offering the most traditional cuisine. Most visitors to Buenos Aires only dine at the most touristy parrillas published in guidebooks and sadly miss out on some of the city’s most delicious gems. To experience and taste authentic Porteño flavors, join us on our Parrilla Tour, to discover hole-in-the wall restaurants where the locals go, learn about Argentina’s culture and traditions, and meet others during the relaxed and social tour.

The Parrilla Tour includes:

• Walking tour of 3 different authentic local restaurants
• Tasting traditional foods at each stop and excellent Argentine wine
• Finish off on a sweet note with a visit to one of the best artesanal “heladerías” (ice cream shops) or historical café for a real treat!
• English explanations of the food sampled along with an immersion into local culture

Our Palermo tour centers around the Las Cañitas section of Palermo, a neighborhood  known for its beautiful tree lined avenues, historic polo fields, and burgeoning culinary and nightlife scene.  On this route we begin at a classic parrilla filled with soccer fanatics known for it’s choripan.  Next, we visit a Northern Argentine style  casa de empanadas  to try some of our favorite handmade empanadas and a glass of Torrontés wine, before moving on to enjoy some of the best meat and service in the city at a historic and hidden parrilla famous among locals, and finally finishing at an incredible artisanal “heladeria” (ice cream shop).

The Palermo tour is conducted every  Tuesday,Thursday, Friday and Saturday beginning at 12 pm  (noon)   Thursday 7:30   pm and lasts 2,5 / 3 hours.

The San Telmo tour is for those visitors who love historic architecture and have a desire for a little adventure.  We begin near the  Mercado de San Telmo  for a homemade empanada at a family owned neighborhood institution.  After exploring the market and seeing Argentine butchers in action, we have the classic street food of Argentina,  choripan .  The main stop is at one of the best and oldest Buenos Aires parrillas to try provoleta, 2 cuts of steak, salad and Malbec . We finish up at a small  heladeria  known for their selection of homemade ice cream flavors.

The San Telmo tour is conducted every  Monday and Wednesday at 12 pm  (noon)  Friday 7:30 pm and lasts 2,5 / 3 hours.

This tour includes transport to and from your hotel. The market takes place in the neighborhood of Liniers, located approximately 30 minutes from downtown where the city’s main livestock market operates from Monday to Friday. Every Sunday however, the streets are filled with local food stalls and decorated with Gaucho crafts inviting you to enjoy a unique experience. We try a variety of local delicacies including empanadas, chori-pan and meats as well as drinks. There is also a stage where folk dancers and musicians perform and everybody is welcome to dance and share in a very family friendly environment.

Mataderos fair only takes place between March to December and we highly recommend doing this tour right now if you can because it will change its authenticity soon. Available Sundays only . Pick up from hotel at 12:00 noon. Tour duration approx 4hrs.

Parrilla Tour in Palermo & Milonga night

On this route we begin at a classic parrilla filled with soccer fanatics known for it’s choripan. Next, we visit a casa de empanadas to try some of our favorite handmade empanadas, before moving on to enjoy some of the best meat and service in the city at a historic and hidden parrilla famous among locals, and finally finishing at an incredible artisanal “heladería” (ice cream shop). To continue with the tour we will go to a local club where social dancers take time off and dance the traditional Tango Salon or Tango de Pista. Have a drink and enjoy a non touristic way of experiencing tango.

Every day there are many different options of Milongas, it all depends how late you want to stay up. Available on Thursday and Friday at 7.30pm (minimum 2 people per reservation)

Recoleta Tour

Probably the most elegant area in Buenos Aires, Recoleta is well known for its impressive historical buildings, museums and art galleries. During the tour we walk along wide, señorial avenues to discover traditional Argentine restaurants in what is known as the “Paris of South America” Our stops include a sophisticated “choripan” at a relaxed street-side eatery followed by typical empanadas at a small, family-run place loved by locals but often over-looked by tourists. Later, after touring the area, we arrive at the steak house to enjoy two, quality cuts of Argentine beef with sides and then finish off at an exquisite Heladeria for ice cream. The tour includes generous portions, water and plenty of wine.

The Recoleta Tour is available on Thursday at 12:00 noon and 7:30pm. Tour duration approx 2,5 / 3 hrs.

Thorough Practical Experiential Travel

A Unique Food Tour in Buenos Aires

I’ve traditionally loved taking food tours when I travel. I think they are a great way to get a quick overview of a city’s cuisine.  However, now that we are traveling slower, I haven’t taken any food tours recently.  I’ve figured that given the extra time we have in each destination, I could discover the cuisine of each place on my own. And so, I didn’t initially schedule any sort of food tour at the beginning of our recent month-long stay in Buenos Aires.  But, near the end of our trip, when Detour BA invited me to to join them on their unique Chacarita  & Vermouth tour, exploring the up-and-coming foodie neighborhood of Chacarita, I quickly said yes.  I loved the idea of spending time in an out-of-the-way Buenos Aires neighborhood, learning about vermouth, and trying some food that I perhaps hadn’t yet tasted in Argentina. 

Before I share this great food tour experience though, let me share some of what I discovered about  Buenos Aires cuisine on my own, along with some of my favorite Argentine bites. Then I’ll show you what Nati from Detour BA taught me on my food tour in Buenos Aires.

(Disclosure: Detour BA reached out and organized a private tour for me, but I paid for the tour, and any opinions in this post are my own. I also do not receive any affiliate commission from links in this post.)

Where’s the Beef?

Everywhere!  This question never needs be asked in Buenos Aires. Beef is the king of Argentine cuisine, and various cuts of high quality steak can be found in pretty much every type of restaurant – from the corner cafe to the most expensive Parrilla (Argentine steakhouse).

The most popular cut of steak in Buenos Aires is the Sirloin, though we could also easily find our personal two favorites – the Tenderloin (pictured below) and the Ribeye.

Most Argentines prefer their meat well done, but you can order yours however you personally like it – medium for me, medium rare for Mrs. TT. 

And it’s always served with a side of chimichurri – a blend of spices, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and parsley.  

Here’s a look at our very first lunch in Buenos Aires at a Parrilla called Fervor …

And if you are looking for a “lighter” way to eat your steak in Buenos Aires, rather than going for the full steak dinner, you could get a Lomito (steak sandwich). Check this one out from La Rambla !!

Chorizo + Pan (Bread) = Choripan

Chorizo is also very popular in Buenos Aires.  Beef, pork, and lamb are all used to make different versions of this sausage. Chorizo is commonly ordered as an appetizer in a Parrilla. But follow this meaty appetizer with a steak entree?  That was always too much cholesterol in one sitting for us.  

I most commonly ordered Chorizo as a meal all by itself – sliced in half, grilled, and served on a bun.   This is called a Choripan, and is one of the most common fast foods in Buenos Aires.  

The most classic version is simply served with chimichurri on top, like this one from a place called Chori .

But many other versions of Choripan can be found, served with a variety of toppings.  Like this lamb Choripan served with mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and arugula from Choripaneria in the San Telmo Market.

Empanadas, Empanadas, Empanadas

Choripans are very popular, but the most common fast food in Buenos Aires is definitely the Empanada.  I saw empanadas everywhere – as an appetizer in restaurants, on the shelves of most bakeries, at stands in various outdoor markets, and in lots of empanada-only shops, too.

And I was surprised at how much I enjoyed them because I usually don’t gravitate towards pie-type foods.   But they became my go-to quick bite in Buenos Aires.  The pastry crust was much lighter than I expected, especially the baked versions.  And the fillings were oh-so-flavorful.  

As you would expect, based on everything said above, beef empanadas are the most popular. Ground beef with onions and green olives was one of the most common version I found.  

But shredded chicken and various vegetarian options – spinach/cheese, onions/cheese, grilled vegetables, creamed corn – are easy to find as well.

I was fortunate enough to stay just a few blocks away from El Sanjuanino   – considered by many to serve up the some of best empanadas in Buenos Aires.  I sampled emapandas from many establishments during our trip. And I can testify that the empanadas from El Sanjuanino were my favorite.  The quality and flavor of the fillings really stood out there.  I visited often. 

Lotsa Pasta

Hoards of Europeans immigrated to Buenos Aires in the 19th century, and none more so than immigrants from Italy.  So naturally, there is a lot of Italian influence in Argentine cuisine. Plus, Italian restaurants are everywhere, and pasta is on almost every other type of restaurant’s menu too. 

So when you need a break from meat, you can always find pasta. (And pizza too… but more on that later in the post).

Locro – An Argentine Tradition From the Andes

Locro isn’t on every menu, but you definitely need to seek it out and try Locro when visiting Buenos Aires.  The bowl of Locro pictured below from Peron Peron is one of the best things I ate during our time in the city. 

It’s a dish that originated centuries ago in the mountainous Andes regions of South America, and is not only beloved in Argentina, but in neighboring countries as well.  Ingredients can vary a little from region to region, but usually include pumpkin, yams, hominy, beans, chorizo, and other cuts of pork or beef. 

And My Favorite Sweet

I was aware of Dulce De Leche as an ice cream flavor prior to our time in Buenos Aires. But I don’t think I’d ever eaten straight Dulce De Leche before our trip. 

This amazing confection is made by slowly heating milk and sugar into a thickened caramelized sauce. In the picture above, a generous dollop is served alongside flan.

Dulce de Leche is everywhere in Buenos Aires.  It seems to be incorporated into about every dessert.  It is delicious.  And it is one of those great travel taste discoveries that we will continue to seek out and eat forever.  Yes, we brought some home with us. And gratefully we can find it in our local supermarket. 

(If you want to learn about entirely different type of South American cuisine, then be sure to check out my post on the Typical Food of Cartagena Colombia )

Now For the Food Tour

Detour BA is a food tour company that focuses on offering unique Buenos Aires experiences.  Their goal is to offer an authentic look at the culture and history of Buenos Aires in the context of food exploration. 

Their Chacarita and Vermouth Tour is the perfect example.  Chacarita is an up-and-coming foodie neighborhood, known mostly to locals, and definitely off the beaten tourist path.  And while wine experiences can easily be found in Buenos Aires, they want to introduce you to another Argentine favorite – Vermouth.

I love to wander off the beaten path anywhere I travel and hadn’t even heard of Chacarita after nearly a month in Buenos Aires. So learning more about Argentine food, in this particular neighborhood, sounded perfect to me.   

I discovered Vermouth in Spain last year, but had never done any sort of tasting other than ordering it sometimes with my tapas there.  So I also loved the idea of learning more about Vermouth.

Plus I hoped to maybe try some food on this tour that I hadn’t yet experienced in Buenos Aires.

And, after 4 hours with my guide Nati….Mission Accomplished! 

Here’s a look at some of what I discovered.

All About Chacarita

Chacarita is located about 25 minutes by cab from where I was staying in more centrally-located Recoleta. But it’s not far from the trendiest neighborhood in Buenos Aires – Palermo Soho. It’s much quieter than its trendy neighbor. And rent is also cheaper here than in Palermo Soho. So some of the best new restaurants and bars in the city are choosing to locate in Chacarita instead.

It’s still mostly a locals-only neighborhood with few tourists and few major touristic sites, but in my mind, that is no knock against it. Walks through neighborhoods like these will always reveal hidden treasures. And when you have a guide by your side, those treasures will more easily reveal themselves.

Here’s some of what we saw…

Malfada Plaza

This is where I met Nati at the beginning of the tour. It’s located on the edge of Chacarita, in the Colegiales neighborhood, and is one of the area’s popular green spaces. The Plaza is named for the beloved Argentine cartoon character Malfada . Throughout Buenos Aires you will see her image everywhere. Nati educated me further about Malfada as we stood in this Plaza.

Malfada was a comic strip character during the 1960s and 70s. A 6 year old girl who satirically commented on the social and political issues of the time. The character remained popular as a dissident symbol during the dictatorship that darkened Argentina’s history in the late 70s and early 80s. Naturally, the government did everything they could to suppress her subversive presence. When that authoritarian government was overthrown, all things Malfada where officially allowed again, and she remains a popular symbol today.

(Near the popular San Telmo Market in central Buenos Aires, there is a bench with a statue of Malfada sitting on it. When we visited that market one Sunday, there was a line – a full block long – of Argentines waiting to sit next to Malfada for a photo. That’s how popular Malfada is!)

The White Head Scarfs

As we moved on from the Plaza, Nati pointed out a repetitive symbol painted on the sidewalk. This is the white head scarf symbol of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo . Nati told me that this symbol is a common site throughout many of the city’s public spaces.

The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo is a human rights organization formed in the late 1970s by the mothers of young adults who were “disappeared” by the same dictatorship I referred to above. 30,000 people – perceived to be dissidents – went missing during its rule.

It’s a dark stain in Argentine history and is very much in the local public’s conscious today. The recent Academy Award nominated film called Argentina 1985 tells all about it. We watched the film on Amazon Prime while in Buenos Aires, after becoming aware of these horrible events while on another tour.

Most of the missing have never been accounted for, and the Mothers are still very politically active, demanding ongoing justice for their loved ones from the current government.

Mercado de las Pulgas

Across from the Malfada Plaza sits the Mercado de las Pulgas. I’d visited several of Buenos Aires’ most popular markets during our time there, but hadn’t heard of this market in any of my Things To Do research. It happens to be one of the most popular markets in the whole city, and is a giant indoor flea market – taking up one full city block.

It’s one of those places that only locals visit, and is yet another example of why a tour like this is perfect for those of us that like exploring off the beaten path. I never would have seen it otherwise. You can see why my evening was so much more than just a standard food tour in Buenos Aires.

Colorfully Quiet Streets

As dusk turned to dark, we wandered our way into Chacarita where we found quiet tree-lined streets, residential buildings, and scattered restaurants.

Street art is a very common site in many neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, and Chacarita was no exception. In the dark evening hours, the lights in the neighborhood really helped all of that color stand out.

I loved having the chance to explore this previously unknown-to-me part of town. That’s certainly one of the strengths of Detour BA’s approach to touring. But let’s not forget, this evening was about food too.

So on to the food and drink portion of this tour in Chacarita Buenos Aires.

Sampling Vermouth

Our first culinary stop was at a boutique Vermouth bar called La Fuerza . As I previously mentioned, I became aware of Vermouth while in Granada Spain where it was also a very popular drink. But this was my first chance to really learn about Vermouth and try different types.

Vermouth is a fortified wine to which various botanicals are added. Because it’s fortified, it is sweeter than wine. But the botanicals give it a slightly bitter flavor. La Fuerza is the name of both the bar and the brand. They make their own Vermouth using wine from Argentina’s famed Mendoza region and add herbs & botanicals from the foothills of the Andes.

I was able to taste their 4 different types – made from different white and red wines – and choose my favorite.

I chose the 12 month aged vermouth (on the right below) and Nati chose a white vermouth (on the left). We enjoyed our vermouth along with charcuterie, and the Argentine version of a Spanish Tortilla (an omelette-y creation filled with sliced potatoes).

Our second stop was at a place called Sifón, and my Vermouth education continued. Argentines love soda water (or seltzer). This love affair started back in the late 1800s when water-borne illness was a big issue, and drinking seltzer imported from Europe became the norm. In fact, home seltzer delivery in bottles called siphons is an ongoing tradition in Buenos Aires. And it is very common to add this soda water to drinks like wine and vermouth – to lighten them up a little.

At Sifón, I experienced this custom first hand, as my vermouth was served along with my own personal siphon of seltzer. I could then add it to my drink as desired. Personally, I don’t drink much soda water or carbonated beverages in general. And I didn’t want to necessarily dilute the flavor of the vermouth. But I can understand the appeal for those who do like it. And I did give it a try at Sifón (where we also ate one of their specialties – Ossobuco empanadas).

As Promised, Now I’ll Tell You about Argentine Pizza

Next up was a visit to El Imperio – an award winning pizza joint in Chacarita. As I mentioned earlier in the post, there is a huge Italian influence in Argentina cuisine, and like pasta, pizza is very popular. But, after almost 4 weeks in Buenos Aires, I hadn’t yet tried Argentine pizza.

Why? As you can see below, Argentine-style pizza features a very thick crust and a huge pile of cheese. Plus, it’s sauce-less. I’m not a fan of thick crust, sauceless, cheesy pizza, and I have some lactose intolerance too. Even more importantly, I had always wanted to save my weekly fat & cholesterol allowance for all the steak and chorizo we were loving. (OK that’s not entirely true….we definitely still exceeded any sort of fat & cholesterol allowance in Buenos Aires.)

So I’d never made it a point to give Argentine pizza a try. I’m grateful that this Chacarita food tour in Buenos Aires gave me one last chance.

Nati gave me my choice of pizza. I figured that if I was going to try it, I would go all in and sample the very popular Fugazetta which features only two toppings – a copious amount of gooey cheese and a copious amount of onions.

And I was surprised. I really liked it. The cheese had great flavor and the onions were cooked enough to mellow out their sharpness.

But, I only ate four bites. Because my lactose-intolerant gut knew the tour was ending with ice cream. And I did not plan on passing that up either.

The Best Ice Cream

The ice cream in Argentina is really really good. I think it’s probably the second most favorite local dessert after Dulce de Leche. Remember the strong Italian influence in Argentine cuisine? The ice cream in Buenos Aires is very gelato-like.

As you might guess from my previous statement about lactose intolerance, I don’t typically seek out a lot of ice cream, though I do love it. And I’m always game for a few bites. I had previously tried Argentine ice cream at two of the most popular chains in Buenos Aires – Freddo and Rapanui – and thought it was great. Unsurprisingly, ice creams featuring various versions of Dulce De Leche rule the flavor board.

To end this food tour in Buenos Aires with Detour BA, Nati took me to Heladeria Scannapieco . It’s been serving up ice cream since 1938, and many consider it to be the very best ice cream in all of Buenos Aires. As we walked in, it looked exactly like the classic ice cream counters from the 50s, and it offered many more flavors than the other ice cream stores we had visited in town.

Despite all the choices, I still decided to go with straight-up Dulce de Leche (and then Banana as my second flavor).

The verdict? Unquestionably the best ice cream I had in Buenos Aires. Maybe anywhere actually. Creamy goodness with amazing flavor.

Final Thoughts

And with those last glorious bites of ice cream, my food tour in Buenos Aires came to an end.

I’m glad that I jumped on the opportunity to go on this food tour with Detour BA, even though it was at end of our trip and I’d already discovered a lot about Argentine food on my own. I learned so much more from Nati. Clearly, you can always gain additional insight into the cuisine, the history, and the culture of a place with the guidance of a knowledgable local.

I should also mention that one of the owners of Detour BA is a professional chef and restauranteur, and has personally curated the food choices on their tours for an optimal foodie experience.

The out of the way neighborhoods are the true gems Steven. You always find the best eats well away from the beaten tourist path, or even away from the beaten path in general. Of course it may take some pointing and Google Translate assistance but the effort is worth it. The Argentinian pizza looks delicious!

thethoroughtripper

Yes they are, Ryan! The best meals I’ve ever had while traveling have generally been in accidental discoveries off the beaten path

Peggy Zipperer

You know we love a food tour! This looked fantastic, plus you discovered so much on your own too. Steak and chorizo are always favorites but I’ve never heard of Locro – and that looks delicious! Vermouth is something I”ve only had in martinis, so I’d be interested to taste it on its own. Great article!

Now that you mention it, I don’t think I’ve ever had vermouth in a cocktail. I’ll have to try that sometime. It seems pretty versatile.

As a self-proclaimed foodie, I’m always on the lookout for one-of-a-kind culinary experiences. Your description of exploring hidden gems and indulging in traditional Argentine cuisine has my taste buds tingling with anticipation. From savoring mouthwatering empanadas to enjoying a traditional asado, this food tour sounds like an absolute dream come true. Thank you for sharing this personal and enticing recommendation that has me itching to book my trip to Buenos Aires!

Definitely one-of-a-kind! I didn’t see any other food tour company offering anything like this in Buenos Aires. Any foodie who also love finding hidden gems would love it!

The Experience 

Three different food stops. we serve a full ( delicious ) lunch with plenty of ( excellent ) wine..

San Telmo is characterized by cafes and restaurants, tango parlors, art galleries and antique shops lining its old cobbled streets, and is a must-visit for anybody coming to Buenos Aires.  San Telmo is a hive of activity and it’s alive with musicians and street performers dancing tango at all hours of the day.  Our local foodie guide will lead you to the enchanting gems of small coffee houses and food parlors that serve some of the most delicious foods – while learning about the history and architecture of the area.

This is a very traditional part of the city, with courtyards and side-streets where you are likely to come across an old café serving fabulous Malbec wine and delicious empanadas. Of course you can’t eat and drink all day (at least not without changing shape), so we will also visit antique boutiques and stores and take in the very Argentinean style of culture that makes San Telmo what it is: a traditional barrio offering exceptional cuisine, superb wine and great shopping – but where do you go? That’s where we come in.

You will see a side of Buenos Aries that few tourists ever will. Our Culinary tour of San Telmo is one that should not be missed.

We spent a wonderful afternoon in San Telmo district with Jorge. He researches his destinations thoroughly and took us to places where they knew him and he knew exactly what to order for us. We love red wine so we lingered longer and enjoyed another excellent bottle over our short ribs BBQ. You will eat and drink plenty on this tour and it is great value. Jorge shared a lot of cultural insight with us along the way. The open air square for coffee and dulce de leche sweets at the end was beautiful. We got so many good restaurant tips too. Highly recommended for a relaxed afternoon of great food, wine and company.
