✈️👨👩👦 Family Reunited in Buenos Aires! | Alfajores, Parrilla Peña & The Ultimate Steakhouse Experience 🇦🇷
🚕 Airport Pick-Up & A Sweet Buenos Aires Welcome
The adventure kicks off with Samuel and Audrey heading to the airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to pick up a very special guest—Audrey’s dad! Despite worries about running late, the city’s quiet Saturday traffic gets them there early, so they chill at Havana Café, enjoying classic meringue alfajores and strong Argentine coffee. The transcript shares a fun alfajor debate (first time ever for Sam?!) and highlights the importance of this beloved Argentine treat.
🍷 Homecoming Feast: Picada & Wine
After the airport, the family heads home, where a “picada” (Argentine snack platter) awaits: salami, cheese, prosciutto, and—of course—a bottle of Malbec. This is just a snack to tide everyone over before their big evening meal, but it already sets the tone for a trip full of food, drink, and togetherness.
🥩 Parrilla Peña: The Buenos Aires Steakhouse Ritual
As night falls, appetites are raging and the crew heads out to their favorite family steakhouse: Parrilla Peña. This classic spot was recommended by locals and has become a must-visit on every trip to the city.
Atmosphere: Unpretentious, family-run, always packed with locals (insider tip: arrive by 8–8:15 pm to snag a table!)
Starters: Complimentary beef empanadas and a massive “complete salad” to sneak in some veggies before the meat arrives
The Main Event:
Bife de Chorizo – Argentina’s iconic steak, thick and juicy
Enormous Portions – The steaks are so big, the group shares two cuts among three people and still struggles to finish!
Wine: Reserved Malbec, perfect for steak
🍰 The Sweet Finish: Tiramisu for Dessert
No steakhouse experience is complete without dessert, and Parrilla Peña’s homemade tiramisu is the decadent finale. The portion is so big it’s easily shared by three people!
Pro Tip: Argentine restaurant portions are enormous—always ask your waiter for advice before ordering too much food.
💵 Value & Experience
Dinner for three—including complimentary bread, empanadas, a big salad, two top-quality steaks, a bottle of reserve Malbec, and a giant dessert—comes to just $46 USD (about $15 per person). The transcript emphasizes the unbeatable value and unique quality of Argentine beef, which is grass-fed and naturally flavorful—no sauces or gravies required, just a little salt and pepper.
🌟 Reflections & Insider Tips
The meal and the whole day are celebrated as “out of this world.” The family talks about the magic of Argentine beef (and a nod to Uruguay for great meat too!), the importance of portion sizes, and the joys of classic Buenos Aires dining.
Tomorrow’s Plan: Track down the best, biggest milanesa (breaded cutlet) in the city!
