Cooking at a parrilla in Buenos Aires

Parrilla Tour, Palermo

Parrillas are Argentine restaurants offering the most traditional cuisine. Most visitors to Buenos Aires only dine at the most touristy parrillas published in guidebooks and sadly miss out on some of the city’s most delicious gems. To experience and taste authentic Porteño flavours, this tour will allow you to discover some of the hole-in-the-wall restaurants where only the locals go and learn more about Argentina’s culture and cuisine.

This Palermo tour centres around the Las Cañitas section of Palermo, a neighbourhood known for its beautiful tree lined avenues, historic polo fields, and burgeoning culinary and nightlife scene. The tour begins at a classic parrilla filled with soccer fanatics and known for its choripan. Next, you will visit a casa de empanadas to try some great handmade empanadas, before moving on to enjoy some of the best meat and service in the city at a historic and hidden parrilla famous among locals. Finally you will finish at a fabulous artisan 'heladeria' (ice cream shop).
