Taste Argentine steak and street food while walking the neighborhoods where locals actually eat

A five-hour food walking tour of Palermo Viejo in Buenos Aires led by Frank, a local guide who has lived in Argentina since 1999, with groups of up to eight people. You start with a typical Porteño breakfast of coffee and medialunas, then move through the neighborhood sampling Argentine steak at a non-touristy parrilla, choripán, Plaza Italia's seasonal drink, and finish with Argentine ice cream. Wine is included during lunch; craft beer, coffee and tea are available at other stops. The tour covers the neighborhood's street art and history as you walk from one eating spot to the next.

The Experience

The tour opens with coffee and medialunas—the flaky pastries that are a Porteño breakfast standard—at one of the neighborhood's best spots for them. From there you move through Palermo Viejo on foot, stopping at places where the guide eats himself rather than venues built for tourists. At a local parrilla, you share an Argentine steak lunch with sides like pure mixto (mashed potatoes and squash), provoleta (grilled provolone), or morcipán, accompanied by wine included in the price.

Between the main stops, the walk takes in Plaza Italia and the street art that fills the neighborhood's blocks. At Plaza Italia you get a seasonal drink—in winter, a typical local mate ritual with alfajores (chocolate-covered dulce de leche cookies); in summer, a Garibaldi cocktail named after the statue there—and learn the customs around it. The guide shares the neighborhood's history as you walk, pointing out what used to be the doorway to Buenos Aires itself.

A choripán stop comes next—the sausage sandwich that is one of Argentina's most beloved foods, here given a modern twist by the restaurant. By this point in the five hours, you can choose another snack or switch to craft beer, specialty coffee or tea depending on how much room you have left. The tour ends with Argentine ice cream, which the guide considers among the best in the world. Frank speaks English and Spanish and keeps groups to eight people, so the walk stays manageable and you actually get to know the other travelers.
