La Cocina: Imaginative

by kyoub

It is not unusual to see a dead animal hanging on a spit in the restaurant window in Argentina or Chile. It certainly doesn't tempt me to go inside but I have to eat somewhere.LaCocina is an Italian restaurant so I thought possibly I could find something here without meat.Not far from the restuarant is M&M. We stopped there for delicious ice cream. Mine had calafate berries. yummmm I had stuffed veggies with mushrooms. My hubby had a huge steak. I must get him home before he has a coronary.

Casa de Te': Cute tea house

by kyoub

When we got off the chairlift I was feeling chilled. I saw a sign saying Tea House. That sounded good to me. It was a small cafe that also rents cottages. They serve lunch and refreshments.I decided to have hot chocolate and an egg. Hubby had toast with assorted spreads.

Hotel Tolkeyen: Local specialities

by kyoub

This is another restaurant that I picked because of the location. The restaurant has many windows and most have a view of the Beagle Channel and the Andes Mountains. There is a large dining room but it was very crowded the night that we ate there.We saw a beautiful sunset. They serve local specialties. My hubby enjoyed the cow tongue as well as his steak.I had a very nice heart of palm salad and an omelette. When I travel I crave eggs, not sure why because I seldom eat them at home.

Tio Alberto: Excellent view

by kyoub

The Los Nires hotel was close by where we were staying in Ushuaia. I thought it looked interesting and had a great view of the Beagle Channel. Everyone eats late in So. America so we waited until after 7, late for us. There were several people already there. While talking to the couple across the aisle we learned that many stay there before leaving for Anartica.They also offer ski packages in the winter months.Most of the tables are located near a window so everyone can have a mountain/channel view. I had hoped to get a sunset picture but instead we had a rainstorm. The food was good.The cheesecake with Calafate berries, out of this world.

Cabanas Las Lilas: One of the Best Restaurants in Buenos Aires!

by Uluwatu

Las Lilas has to be one of the best steak houses I have ever eaten at. They first bring to your table an appetizer plate that would cost $15+ in the states for free. Selection of cheeses and sausages w/ some veggies as well. Then the wine list is huge! The steaks are the size of 1/2 a cow !! and so damn tasty! Desserts also off the charts! Go for the tiramisu ! Any steak !!

Every Aerolineas Argentinas flight: Always the same

by TheWanderingCamel

Somewhere in Argentina there's a bakery that churns out the large white loaves that Aerolineas Argentinas must use by the millions each year for their unchanging inflight meal on domestic flights - a cheese and ham sandwich of such refined crustless thinness even the pickiest vicar's teaparty guest would be impressed. They're always fresh, the ham has flavour, the cheese is bland, but not soapy - it's just the eternal sameness of them that's so extraordinary. Personally, I don't think they're made from a loaf at all - I'm sure they're made from a never-ending cut-and-come-again extruded roll produced by gnomes deep in some Andean mountain cave.

Hotels and cafes: Breakfast time

by TheWanderingCamel

No civilized Argentinian would dream of eating dinner before 10pm so it's little wonder desayuno (breakfast) is almost a non-event. Standard fare is a couple of media lunas (small sweet croissants), strong cafe con leche (this is the only time Argentinians drink it with more than a drop of milk), tea or mate and maybe an orange juice - cafes everywhere will serve this for about 5 pesos and many people make it a short stop on their way to work. For a few more pesos, you'll find bread and jam or dulce de leche (a caramel flavoured spread that is Argentinians adore) or even churros (long crispy fried doughnut sticks) on offer. And that's about it away from tourist hotels.Hotels that serve a breakfast buffet usually run to cereals, fruit, yoghurt (always in tubs, rarely chilled), a variety of breads and sweet cake with preserves, honey and dulce de leche and some sort of cooked food. Eggs...

Snack bars, cafes, bars and empanaderias: The ideal snack

by TheWanderingCamel

Little golden pockets of pastry stuffed with savoury fillings - most commonly beef (lomo -, piquate is good), jamon y queso (ham and cheese - another good combination), pollo (chicken), vegetarians might find humita (creamed corn) or queso y spinaca (cheese and spinach) to their liking - the empanada is a universal snack in Argentina. New fillings and combinations are popping up all over the place these days - tuna's often available and beef, olive and chopped boiled egg is popular too. Traditionally fried but often baked these days, you'll find them in cafes and bars everywhere you go and there are empanaderias where nothing else is on offer. If you're really serious in your search for the ultimate empanada experience, you could make the hunt the basis of some serious research. Surprisingly filling, some are better than others, and the smartness of the place selling them is no guarantee...

Parillas everywhere: No place for vegetarians

by TheWanderingCamel

Despite a rash of new restaurants serving food of a variety of ethnicities in the cities, there's absolutely no doubting that beef is still king in Argentina and the parilla (steakhouse) is still the favourite style of restaurant with all but the most posey of foodies here. And very good beef it is too - grass-fed and not a hormone in sight - this is quite simply the best beef in the world.Cuts are referred to by local names and may well be unfamiliar. Bife de lomo - fillet, is always the top cut, and the most expensive. Lomito is sirloin. If you like rump steak - ask for cuardril and if T-bone is your favourite, bife de costilla is the one to go for. A very popular cut is bife de chorizo - not a sausage as it is in Spain, but fairly thin cut from the sirloin. Asado means roast - a tira de asado is a serving for two - or even four - of ribs, not a lot of meat on them, but lots of...

Club647: amazing food, the best place!

by fermintxo

Club647 is a new concept in Buenos Aires, an original restaurante with several options for dining... They offer traditional tables, a lounge bar with intimate booths and also confortable chaise longues. The service is great and the food delicius (modern argentinian cuisine). Don´t miss the opportunity of having dinner in the Black Room, it´s a kind of private dinning suite for 15 people, ideal to celebrate a birthday. The place is really sofisticated and one of the best decorated in town... The best starter: ceviche of scallops and white fish, passion fruit juice and almondsMy favorite main course: argentine entraña steak, with potato stuffed with sausage, biter chicory salad and tomatoes ”chinmichurri” sauce.Most delicius dessert: the crème brûlée (caramel, vanilla and smoked earl grey tea and a lemon madelaine).
