Argentina Y la Comida
Beyond a doubt no other food more genuinely matches the national identity. Nevertheless, the country's vast area, and its cultural diversity, have led to a local cuisine of various dishes.
Desayuno
Argentino Panqueques $140
Parrilla De Argentina $225
Café con Leche y Medialunas $100
El Almuerzo
Asado $250
This is the national dish, originating with the country’s gauchos, or cowboys, who would subsist on the abundant cows dotting the country’s plains. Expect to find beef, ribs, sausages, and sweetbreads hot off the fire. Lightly salted, topped with chimichurri, and paired with Malbec – this is Argentina.
Matambre Arrollado $225
This super slim cut of beef, like a flank steak, is thinly sliced then stuffed with vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, herbs and olives. The meat is rolled around the filling, then boiled, baked or grilled.
Empanadas $140
Like a South American pasty, empanadas are deep-fried or baked, then filled with sweet and savoury stuffing, depending on the province. Dessert empanadas are commonly packed with quince jam, sweet potato paste, or dulce de leche, and sprinkled with cinnamon, sugar or sweet raisins, as is typical in Cordoba. Savoury empanadas hug stewed and spiced ground beef, chicken, goats meat, cheese and/or vegetables, with the markings on the pastry fold identifying the treasures inside.
La Cena
Choripan Argentino $120
In Argentina, the supper food of choice is the Choripan, a bread roll filled with a split grilled sausage, and slathered in the nation’s salsa of choice, a tangy parsley and garlic lace.
Provoleta $120
This couldn’t-be-easier meal of grilled provolone with crushed red pepper and herbs is a classic Argentine way to start any grill fest. Purists use oregano but this version amps it up with adobó.
