What You’ll Eat on Our Buenos Aires Food Tour

Our Buenos Aires food tour introduces travelers to some of Argentina’s most iconic dishes and local flavors.


Fugazzeta

Milanesa

Milanesa is one of the ultimate Argentine comfort foods.

Breaded, crispy, and deeply connected to local family meals and restaurant culture.

One of the most loved Argentine parrilla dishes.


Choripán with Chimichurri

Choripán is Argentina’s most famous street food.

Fresh grilled sausage served in bread with chimichurri sauce creates one of the country’s most iconic flavor combinations.

Simple, local, and packed with flavor.


Morcilla

Morcilla is traditional Argentine blood sausage commonly served in parrillas throughout Buenos Aires.

An authentic experience for travelers wanting to explore local Argentine barbecue culture.


Alfajor

Alfajores are one of Argentina’s most famous desserts.

Soft cookies filled with dulce de leche and covered in chocolate or powdered sugar.

Perfect alongside coffee or after a savory meal.


Fernet con Coca Cola
