Food has always been a major draw in Buenos Aires: Meat- and Malbec-infused meals have become a symbol of the city’s warmth and commanding personality. But that pairing no longer dominates the scene. In fact, if you focus on that meal — as good as it might be — you’ll miss the culinary revolution that’s sweeping the stylish South American metropolis. Instead of simply replicating European recipes or gaucho plates, chefs are giving Argentine cuisine a well-deserved spotlight. The country’s capital is bringing the best of Patagonia, the famed Pampas and high-altitude wines from the north to tables across the city with innovative menus, while standout bistros make it worth looking beyond the steaks and big-body wines.
