Buenos Aires – Food Tour

| July 20, 2025 3:20 pm

Our primary purpose of the day was to get a sampling of Buenos Aires food so we had a great experience.

We started at Picsa which is Italian for pizza.

Beef empanadas, flaky pastry, delicious tender meat. In American chicken wings usually accompany pizza and here it’s beef empanadas.

Our second stop was El Preferido.

Oilve oil from Patagonia. Black olive is called Isabellina.

Here we sampled a chicken milanesa and torta.

Third stop was Fuego y Vino (Fire & Wine).

The owner also wrote a book featured below.

Amazing grilled provelona cheese.

And a ribeye steak cooked to perfection on wood fired grill.

The salad was delicious and the owner prides on farm to table veggies.

A quick stop here for a chocolate sample.

Then finished the tour with gelato.

Salted caramel below bombarded the taste buds.

After the tour we walked around some of the open air markets setup in the area but didnt buy anything because we have been unable to withdraw money from ATMs.

Our food tour guide recommended against pulling money out because banks charge excessive fees and provide a bad exchange rate.

People here recommend you send yourself money thru Western Union or use the black market exchange houses.

We were too tired to head out for dinner so we stopped at the Sheraton club lounge and had a second food tour. Mini burgers, mini milanesas, mini empanadas and flavored rice (free for platinum members)!

There are also sandwiches and pastries along with a variety of beer and wine but we opted for tea and soft drinks.
