GASTRONOMIC BUENOS AIRES

Nothing embodies Argentina more than a glass of Malbec and a platter of grilled steak at the local parilla. And in Buenos Aires, you’ll be able to eat your fill—especially in Palermo, the city’s largest and hippest neighborhood. Be sure to hit La Cabrera, one of the great parillas, and sample the Bife de Chorizo served with an intriguing array of sides including fresh endive, pickled onions, and mashed squash. Then learn to recreate the experience yourself with a hands-on cooking class at Teresita Bed and Breakfast, featuring an in-depth lesson on making empanadas and Argentine barbecue.
