Food tour in Buenos Aires

A food tour is the perfect way to explore the local cuisine in just a few hours. It gives you a great intro to what you can expect when traveling through Argentina and hunting for your favorite dish.

There are plenty of food tours to choose from in Buenos Aires, ranging from street food and wine tastings to an authentic Argentine Asado (barbecue) experience.

Golden tip: don’t eat too much before you start the tour ๐Ÿ˜

1. Sherpa Food Tour in Buenos Aires (Palermo)

We spent about 3.5 to 4 hours strolling through the vibrant Palermo neighborhood, hitting up four different restaurants. We got to try eight different Argentine dishes and drinks, all while a local guide filled us in on the history and how everything was made. Super interesting, but nothing felt too over-the-top.

Our guide was awesomeโ€”really knew his stuff and was happy to answer any questions. Plus, with only 10 people max, the tour felt chill and it was easy to chat with other travelers.

The tour runs Monday to Saturday with midday and evening options. If you’re looking to dive into Argentine food, this is the way to do it!

2. The Asado Adventure

The Asado Adventure Food Tour in Buenos Aires is a must! If youโ€™re into grilling or just love the vibe of hanging around the grill, youโ€™re practically Argentinian already!

This tour dives deep into Argentinaโ€™s BBQ culture with top-quality meat straight from the butcher. Youโ€™ll start by exploring the streets of Palermo, getting a feel for the neighborhoodโ€™s history, and stopping by local shops to pick up the ingredients. It really feels like living the local life, and it all wraps up with prepping the Asado back at the house. Such a great experience!

3. San Telmo Food Tour

Staying in San Telmo or looking to explore Buenos Aires’ oldest neighborhood with a food tour? This oneโ€™s for you! Itโ€™s a lunch tour that kicks off at 11:30 AM and takes you through the iconic Mercado de San Telmo. In a small group of 8, we wandered the streets, making delicious stops along the way. I got to try some classic Argentine bites like empanadas, steak, and finished with a coffee. But there was one surprise that I wonโ€™t spoil hereโ€”youโ€™ll have to find out for yourself!
