So, first up we visited a bodegón, which is one of those old-fashioned restaurants, typical of Buenos Aires, where the portions are abundant and the food is good! We opted for steak at this restaurant. We ordered the entraña, which is a thin cut of beef, and the bife de chorizo, which is the sirloin strip steak. The bife came with a fried egg on top and a giant platter of french fries, rice, potato salad, and mixed salad. It was a lot of food and that dish along would have been plenty for 3 people. The total was $45 USD or $15 per person.
The next day called for pizza! Mainly because Sam instead we couldn’t leave Buenos Aires without visiting one of its oldest pizzerias. Güerrín is located on Corrientes Avenue right in the heart of the theatre district, and the place is always packed. We ordered every individual slice on the menu to give you an idea of what this pizzeria has to offer. There was Napolitan, Pomarolla, Fugazzeta, Anchovies, and the house speciality, Güerrin with red peppers, green olives and lots of mozzarella. The total for that meal with beer was $25 USD or $8 per person.
For our final day in the city, we decided to eat milanesas and supremas. These are breaded cutlets, the only difference is that one is made with veal and the other with chicken breast. This is another classic Argentine dish that needs to be added to your Buenos Aires food tour when you visit. The total for that meal was $40 USD or $13 per person.
And that’s how we feasted during our last 3 days in Buenos Aires. We also consumed plenty of cafe con leche, medialunas, and ice cream, which explains why we might’ve been a little heavier when we got back home and stepped on the scale. But hey, Argentina is a place where you come to eat.
But now let’s travel back to Canada and say hello to Togie!
🍷🍕 Buenos Aires DIY Food Tour: Steaks, Pizza, Malbec & Goodbye Argentina 🇦🇷✈️
🥩 Stop #1: Classic Bodegón & Giant Steak Platters
Our food journey begins at a classic bodegón—one of those old-school, beloved Buenos Aires restaurants where the portions are legendary.
We order bife de chorizo (Argentine striploin) served on a massive platter, topped with a fried egg, and accompanied by French fries, Russian salad, rice, and salad.
The Malbec arrives, and it’s the perfect pairing for steak—smooth, fruity, and delicious.
The portions here are so big that a “serving for one” could feed four. We dig in and joke about the impossible size.
The ambiance is casual, cozy, and feels like a taste of real Buenos Aires.
🍕 Stop #2: Pizza at a Historic Pizzeria on Corrientes Avenue
Next, it’s time for pizza at one of Buenos Aires’ most historic pizzerias on bustling Corrientes Avenue, right in the heart of the theater district.
We order every single slice on the menu, sampling a spectrum of local specialties:
Muzarella: classic tomato sauce and stretchy cheese
Fugazzeta: loaded with melted cheese and onions, no tomato sauce
Fugazza: onions galore, sometimes without cheese
Slices topped with red pepper and different seasonings, plus a local beer to wash it down
The atmosphere is lively, tables are packed, and everyone is talking over plates piled high with slices.
We debate the best toppings, experiment with condiments, and agree that pizza here is a must for every foodie visiting BA.
🍗 Stop #3: Milanesa & Suprema—The Argentine Schnitzel Experience
On our final day in the city, we go for another Argentine comfort classic: Milanesa (breaded veal cutlet) and Suprema (breaded chicken cutlet).
Served Napolitana-style, topped with ham, cheese, tomato sauce, and oregano.
Generous sides of crispy fries, creamy mashed potatoes, or pumpkin purée.
Once again, we pair it with a hearty glass of Malbec from Mendoza—another winning combination.
The verdict: Milanesa is juicy and tender, Suprema is thick and flavorful, and both are portioned for a champion’s appetite.
We eat in another historic local spot where the quality and size of the meals have kept customers coming back for generations.
