Restaurant Review: The Argentine Experience

Read our travel expert, Clara Tort’s Restaurant Review ofΒ The Argentine ExperienceΒ inΒ Buenos Aires.

When people think of Argentine cuisine, most people only think ofΒ beef. AlthoughΒ Argentina is famous for its outstanding quality of red meat, its national cuisine is actually a blend of indigenous and Mediterranean influences (mostly Spanish and Italian). Other regional foods are found here from the immigrants that settled here in the late 19th and early 20th century. If you’re looking for a cultural experience, where you can indulge in traditional Argentine cuisine, I recommend spending an evening at The Argentine Experience. Β This is a fabulous restaurant in Buenos Aires. Read for the complete review of the Argentine Experience!

The Argentine Experience

The Argentine ExperienceΒ is an interactive dinner where guests can learn about Argentinian cuisine, taste the countries unique flavors, and cook delicious dishes. Β This restaurant is located in Palermo, one of the hippest neighborhoods in Buenos Aires. The hosts take you through the national food & wine culture. Β While there you will enjoy a gourmet three-course meal, including the traditional steak paired with several other contrasting Argentine wines, with unlimited pours!

Empanadas

restaurant-review-of-the-argentine-experienceSimilar to a closed-door restaurant experience, your host at The Argentine ExperienceΒ will provide you with information about Argentine culture and teach you how to make one of the countryΒ΄s most popular pastriesΒ empanadas. These pastries are filled with various ingredients, such as meat, cheese, ham, and vegetables.

Mate

restaurant-review-of-the-argentine-experienceDuring yourΒ Argentine Experience,Β make sure to tryΒ ArgentinaΒ΄s most traditional drinkΒ mate. Β Mate is an infusion based on yerba mate tea leaves, which are typically found in the North East region of Argentina and widely consumed in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and the south of Brazil. Β Each country has its own special spin on how they drink the tea, but the traditional Argentine way is drinking it hot from a gourd.

Alfajor Cookies

restaurant-review-of-the-argentine-experienceOn your Argentine Experience, you willΒ make your ownΒ alfajorΒ cookies. Alfajores are shortbread cookies withΒ dulce de lecheΒ in the middle. Β Dulce de leche is similarΒ to caramel but more rich and flavorful. Β This delicious treat is also a traditional Argentina product, a confection based on milk and sugar. Β But let me warn you, you won’t be able to eatΒ just one.

Wine Cocktail

If you are looking to start the evening a bit earlier with drinks, you can also sign up forΒ theΒ wine cocktail experience.Β During the wine cocktail hour,Β you willΒ learn about differentΒ Argentine wines and the mostΒ popular grapes. Β  You also get toΒ make your own wine-based cocktail, which you can enjoy while eatingΒ traditional gourmet appetizers.

Argentina Wine Tour

After yourΒ Argentine Experience in Buenos Aires, I recommend that you continueΒ traveling to Mendoza, Argentina’s wine country. Β Any wine connoisseur knows that Mendoza is famous around the world for producingΒ some of theΒ finest Malbec wines. Β Wine from Mendoza is a classic at any Argentinean table. Β Create your own customized Mendoza Wine tour through Argentina at SouthAmerica.travel.
