Argentina’s food culture is as diverse as its landscape, combining indigenous ingredients with influences from Spain, Italy, and elsewhere. While grilled meats are the main attraction at any Argentinian barbecue or asado, the country’s culinary traditions extend far beyond steak. Empanadas, which are savory pastries stuffed with meat, cheese, or vegetables, are a common appetizer found everywhere from cafes to football matches.
On cold days, thick corn and meat stews like locro and carbonada keep you warm, while tamales wrapped in corn husks transport you to Argentina’s indigenous past. Of course, Argentines can satisfy a sweet tooth with everything from crème caramel flan to alfajores cookie sandwiches oozing with dulce de leche. Argentina has also mastered the art of fried dough, as evidenced by its twisted churros, sweetvigilantes doughnuts, and cheesy bread chipá.
These and other classics transport you through Argentina’s diverse flavors. Visitors will find an authentic taste of Argentina through its scrumptious traditional cuisine, whether sampling mouthwatering matambre rolled beef, sipping intense mate tea, or ending a meal with a velvety malbec wine. Every meal, from empanadas to helado, is a new gastronomic adventure.
