Typical Food

Dulce de leche
It is a popular sweetener used here, in Argentine cooking. It is made by boiling equal parts of milk and sugar it has a very sweet, caramel taste and has a consistency between honey and butter. Ice cream is of excellent quality and dulce de leche is one of the most famous flavours.

Mate
This popular beverage is drunk through a long metal straw called “bombilla”, which goes on a gourd full of mate leaves and boiling water. It is common to be offered as a drink during friendly get-togethers.

Asado/parrilla
We love our meat, and the “asado”, or our barbecued, is the way we like it best- grilled on a huge spit over a pit full of red hot coals.

Typical drinks
Our wines are excellent and inexpensive. Their outstanding quality is recognized worldwide. Whiskies and gins are other classic local drinks.
One typical drink is the “clericó”, a kind of fruit salad in a jar, immersed in plenty of wine and soda.

Empanadas
The traditional cuisine is called “criolla” and it is represented by empanadas, salty pastries which can be filled with meat, chicken, ham and cheese, etcetera.

Alfajor
The “alfajor” is a traditional and very popular sweet layered pastry which reminds a “yo-yo”. It’s commonly filled with “dulce de leche” (caramelized milk) and coated with chocolate.
In the breakfast or just before the evening, we enjoy eating “facturas”, a general name used to indicate “medialunas” (croissants) and a variety of other pastry and baked goods.
