A Weekend Dining Guide To Buenos Aires

For many, the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is synonymous with several things: stately, neoclassical architecture. (No wonder the metropolitan is frequently nicknamed “the Paris of South America.”) Tango. A lively theater culture. (Fun fact: there’s almost 300 theaters in Buenos Aires, with the opera house Teatro Colón being the most iconic.) Eva Perón. (She’s buried at Recoleta Cemetery, another famed city site.)

And last but not least: Malbec and steaks. Though these will always remain defining properties of Buenos Aires' culinary landscape, there’s far more to discover here than wine and beef. Even better? You can experience much of the city’s diverse restaurant scene in just one weekend.

Below, our handy guide on where to dine, and where to stay in Argentina’s capital.

Perched in the hip, up-and-coming neighborhood of Villa Crespo is Malvón. Start your day off right by pairing a stack of the popular pancakes with a piping mug of coffee, and nab a table on the picturesque patio when the sun’s out.
