Foodie experiences in Buenos Aires
Tuck into pasties, cheese and succulent beef at an Argentine grill (asado), a feast for the taste buds, in a sociable Buenos Aires eaterie.
Long lunches, late dinners and lively conversation are woven into daily life in Buenos Aires. The city’s food culture reflects waves of immigration, blending Spanish and Italian influences with Argentina’s ranching heritage to create a culinary scene that extends far beyond the famous parrilla. From neighbourhood eateries and traditional grills to hands-on dining experiences, food offers a window into the customs and rhythms of the Argentine capital.
Our foodie experiences explore Buenos Aires through its flavours, people and traditions. Join a guided walk through Palermo, sampling favourites such as choripán, empanadas and artisan ice cream while discovering the neighbourhoods where porteños gather to eat and socialise. Take a seat around the grill at a traditional asado and learn why this enduring ritual remains such an important part of Argentine life. Alternatively, roll up your sleeves for a communal dining experience where you’ll prepare classic dishes, sample regional wines and gain a deeper understanding of the ingredients and techniques behind the local cuisine.
Whether you’re interested in street food, wine, grilling traditions or home-style cooking, these experiences offer a flavour of Buenos Aires that goes beyond its landmarks and bring you closer to the culture of the city through its food.
