Yes, beef in Buenos Aires is delicious if you go to the right place. But where do you go when you’re craving something else in a beef driven city?!
Seafood anyone?
Fervor is my favorite place to go when in a seafood-y mood. Their ‘Parrillada de Mariscos’ hits the spot just right. A mix of shrimp, baby squid, octopus and scallops served on a hot grill with a splash of lemon. All fresh, perfectly cooked and meaty.
In the mood for a simple filet of fish? Their salmon is out of this world. Crispy and a little sweet on the outside, beefy and flakey on the inside…delish! Notice that even when writing about seafood I can’t keep meaty and beefy out of my vocabulary? I know…obsessed!
Whatever you order, pair it with the grilled mushrooms pictured above!
Now you deserve some dessert – you just had fish for dinner…dessert is a must dang it!
Argentina has a few typical desserts…I’ve talked about the Almendrado at Elena, we’ve got Flan – but really there’s nothing more US than ‘Queso y Dulce’. A variety of dulces or sweets like dulce de membrillo (quince), dulce de batata (sweet potato), dulce de zapallo (pumpkin), dulce de higo (figs)…all paired with soft creamy cheese, usually Port Salut. Helloooo!
So now you know, when in Argentina there’s more to our food than beef!
Ahoy!
