1 day · Buenos Aires · Argentina
Four stops through Palermo's everyday food, from a bakery's medialunas to a parrilla's provoleta, with a guide who grew up eating it.
Four stops across Palermo, tasting more than ten dishes and drinks over three and a half hours with no more than forty minutes of walking. The route starts at Amasadero, a bakery built around the ritual of the Argentine breakfast, for a medialuna and a chipá, the Guaraní-heritage bread made with cassava starch. It continues to Rioba, a neighbourhood bodegón, for milanesa, vegetable fritters and potato croquettes — the home-style cooking of Buenos Aires’s immigrant families. Third stop is Celia, a family-style parrilla, for grilled provoleta and a selection of beef cuts with a glass of Malbec. The tour closes at Tufic Helados, an artisanal ice cream shop, for a scoop of gelato.
Vegetarian, gluten-free and lactose-free menus are available; there is no vegan option. Guides work in English and Spanish and talk through the food, the neighbourhood and its history at each stop. A private version of this tour, with a different maximum group size, is available on request by email or WhatsApp; the regular tour runs in groups of up to 12. The tour does not run on 24, 25 and 31 December or 1 January.
