Steak is definitely a popular choice for anyone coming to visit Buenos Aires but in recent years it has developed a restaurant scene that would rival New York and London; Mexican, Italian, Japanese... You name it.

San Antonio de Areco

San Antonio de Areco, a small town situated 1.5-2 hours drive outside of the captial, is Argentina personified: gauchos; leather goods, 'mate' by the river and parillas on every corner. It's a perfect day trip or even better, to stay a few nights and really soak up the laid back atmosphere and extremely delicious (and much cheaper) food.

The Alvear

The Alvear is one of those extravagant hotels that only ridiculously rich people can only afford to stay in. However, one thing you can do that won't blow the budget is have afternoon tea there at the "L'Orangerie". The surroundings are as stunning as the towers of sweet treats served with a selection of multiple teas. Deliciously decadent!

Paseo La Plaza is a nice little place to go for a meal or drink pre/post theatre. It's a quiet oasis from the busy Corrientes and also hosts 2-3 smaller theatre venues with some alternative theatre, as well a few shops, restaurants and bars.

My mouth waters just thinking about this place, with its mix of Latin American food; from Colombian arepa to Mexican Huevos Rancheros #nomnom.
I also love that it's so beautiful decorated with colourful chairs, funky crockery and eclectic interiors.

IL Ballo Del Mattone

Il Ballo del Mattone is quite special as it's not only a restaurant but also a live music venue so you never quite know what to expect on a visit there. For example, on my first visit, we were entertained over our bowl of gnocchi and bottle of red wine by the Argentine equivalent of Artic Monkeys (luckily we were in the mood for it).

Rodi bar is seriously local (if you're a local in Recoleta that is). The steak is incredible and sides of 'calabaza' (sweet potato) and fries are a must. The staff are really friendly and it's a super relaxed place to eat away from the busy tourist area just a few streets away.

If you enjoy quiet and quaint little spots that serve sweets treats then this places is for you. If you manage to grab a seat outside then you'll enjoy views over the museum's courtyard, hopefully some sun, and a bit of fun people watching.

After not too long in Buenos Aires you'll discover that locals love their sweet treats. Tostado y crema queso is a breakfast or tea time favourite that basically consists of bread, cream cheese and jam. Tiendas Naturales offers the freshest and tastiest version I've had so far.
