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.

It's a very cosy and laid back pub so perfect for a lazy afternoon / evening in the city. On Friday nights you might want to avoid the place (or maybe not) as office workers cram in for the happy hour and it's impossible to get a seat. Football matches (including English football) is screened regularly too.

As beautiful and exciting as Buenos Aires is, there's a lot more to Argentina that is to be discovered and if you're looking to get a taste of the gaucho lifestyle then you must take a visit to San Antonio... Or even go one step further and stay at a nearby Estancia (there are many not far from San Antonio) and experience life in 'el campo'.

This is a great place to stock up on more reasonable souvenirs and ensure you get your quota of red meat and other delicious Argentine favourites. Tigre is quite a sleepy place so its nice to take a detour here if you're wanting to see beyond the river and houses on stilts.

Of course, Afternoon Tea isn't the first thing you would think about doing in Buenos Aires but take it from me, taking an hour or two for tea and something sweet is how the locals like to spend their afternoons. In fact, the Argentines coin it "5 O'Clock" (it should really be called "Evening Tea").

One of a series of good coffee joints popping up in the city and - in my humble opinion - one of the best. Also good wifi, kick ass cookies and chilled vibes. A great place to stop off if you're looking for a break from the tourist trail.

For the theatre buffs out there, Corrientes is the main drag and Paseo La Plaza will offer a welcome break if you're wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of it all. Even if you're not into theatre, Corrientes is good to have a wander down as it's really where the heartbeat of the city is - then escape to Paseo La Plaza when needing to.

A great place for a bit to eat and to stop off for something wholesome to eat. Based in the 'Hollywood' end of Palermo, this place is a little haven in the heart of hipster central. The courtyard is often very peaceful and a great place to catch up on emails home or read a book. Staff are friendly and good vibes all round.

This is a really good option if you're wanting an alternative to steak and the menu offer over seven different types of tacos so there shouldn't be anyone in want. Start with quacamole, homemade tortillas and refried beans then follow it with 1-2 tacos of your choice. YUMMY.
