El Portal de la Villa is a nice restaurant in Tafi del Valle, specialising in regional specialities such as locro, empanadas, humitas and tamales. Beyond this, there's not a huge choice on the menu, so instead of a full meal, we would eat a few starters here at about 6pm when feeling peckish, and then cook our main meal back in the hostel at about 9 or 10pm.
The empanadas here are excellent, but our favourite dish was the sijitas (not sure of spelling), with similar fillings to empanades but wrapped in pan arabe. We had never seen or heard of these before but chose them on the waiter's recommendation and they were delicious, they went very well with cold beer.

Confiteria del Sol, located right in the centre of town, at the top of Avenue peron, was the nicest cafe we found in Tafi. We had breakfast here each morning of our stay, as well as a snack and coffee every afternoon after our hiking. It's a combined cafe and bakery with a limited menu, but excellent coffee, bread and medialunes, and very friendly staff.
