ARTISANAL ARGENTINE PASTA 🍝 + Tavern Picada in Trelew, Chubut, Argentina

Come join us for another Argentinian food adventure in Trelew, Chubut as we try artisanal Argentine pasta at Raices before heading to Hotel Touring Club tavern to try an enormous picada. One thing we've got to be clear about in Argentina is that it has some of the best pasta outside of Italy. At Raices we ended up sampling gnocchi and cannelloni along with Malbec red wine and a delicious carrot cake for dessert.
After lunch we visit some local parks and lakes in Trelew. The following day we visit Hotel Touring Club for a tasty Picada. This place oozes character and is on the Butch Cassidy trail. Trelew certainly has a lot to offer in terms of delicious food and quirky attractions. We really enjoyed visiting this city in Chubut, Patagonia.

ARTISANAL ARGENTINE PASTA 🍝 + Tavern Picada in Trelew, Chubut, Argentina:
Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a travel vlogging couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world.
We had the privilege of traveling around Argentina for nearly 3 months from January- April 2019 on a trip covering a large section of the country.
We kicked things off with several days in Buenos Aires where we were joined by Audrey's parents eating and sightseeing around some of our favourite neighbourhoods in the city. We then flew from Buenos Aires to Cordoba where we spent a couple of weeks in the Sierras of Cordoba visiting both La Cumbrecita and Villa General Belgrano with highlights including hiking and delicious German and Swiss cuisine.
From Cordoba, we then travelled a considerable distance on an overnight bus to Mar Del Plata just in time for a special food festival called Feria Masticar featuring the best of Argentine food and wine. We spent several days enjoying beaches and seafood before heading south to Patagonia to visit the province of Chubut.
While on the Atlantic side of Chubut we visited Puerto Madryn, Peninsula Valdes, Trelew, Gaiman and Dolavon. To summarize our time in this area, we had incredibly close encounters with wildlife including penguins, sea lions and guanacos while also experiencing Welsh culture in Argentina.
Our time in Patagonia continued as we headed from east to west trading more barren landscapes for thick forests, impressive mountains and magnificent lakes. We spent significant time in both Esquel and El Bolson with day trips to visit Trevelin, Parque Nacional Los Alerces, Cholila and Lago Puelo. Highlights included sailing, hiking, riding vintage trains and partaking in the national asado festival.
We finished visiting Patagonia with time spent in Villa La Angostura, San Martin De Los Andes and Bariloche where we enjoyed more stunning scenery and hiking. On our way back to Buenos Aires, we took the Tren Patagonia to Las Grutas before meeting up with Audrey's dad again.
To finish off our trip in Argentina, we spent more time in the capital and later Mendoza where we got to experience wine tourism to its fullest extent. Overall, we had an amazing time travelling around Argentina having only scratched the surface of this vast and diverse country.
Overall our Argentina travel series explores cities, small towns that are off-the-beaten-path, and scenic attractions with a strong emphasis on Argentina cuisine and local culture.

Wow! These vlogs in 🇦🇷 are mouthwatering! Thanks for including your meals for this foodie!

here in Argentina, sundays are spent at home with your family. Most people won't work and try not to leave the house unless it is extremely necessary. It is a day to rest and eat a big meal at lunch. Maybe asado or homemade pasta. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! I love watching your videos, saludos!

Man that food looked so delicious at the Italian restaurant,until I heard the cost which sounded a little steep. I liked how you were able to find attractions to film on a day where most of the city was closed down. Hope you had a great holiday season and that your New Year is off to a great start. Take care and safe travels in 2020.

[@anybrzla3149]

I don't know in that restaurant, but in all that I have gone the pasta comes with tuco or mixed sauce, which is tuco with cream, and if you want other more fancier options you do have to pay it separately. Caneloni are easy to make, it's a lot of work because has a lot of ingredients but it's simple, we use "panqueques" (crepes) generally instead of the noodle sheet, then you boil spinach and cut very small, cut onion and cook with oil, and then mix the onion, spinach, ricotta cheese we added too a can of "picadillo", salt and pepper and that is the filling of the caneloni a little of home made sauce,, cream and cheese and gratin in the over

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Any! The homemade caneloni is delicious. We got to try making it once with Audrey's family. We loved the process.

[@aintwurfnufnifitaintfree2853]

Hey Sam, you should drop some random item into the meal recap every now and then just for Audrey's reaction, because the soda water one was hilarious!

[@valentinaespinosa7894]

Oh! So it's Sunday. That's probably why it's so silent. Your theory is right, we do go out a lot on the weekends but more like fridays and saturdays, sundays are a day for resting at home for most people or they travel in family away from the city 💪

We would love to meet up for drinks or something - we have really enjoyed your experiences. If you are living in Argentina - that's wild! Sam is so far from home!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much Grant! Coming back to Vancouver Island, and getting to show Audrey and her Dad around for the first time, was my favorite trip of 2019. I'd love to at least live part-time on Vancouver Island sometime in the future but it doesn't look like that will be something we'll pursue for a while though.

[@x1achilles99]

Hello! I'm trying to schedule a trip to Argentina in the next few weeks. It sounds like you actually were there a while ago as you state A$780 = US$20. That's A$39=US$1. As of yesterday, 10 Jan 2020 the exchange was A$59.50. Then there's the Dolár Blue which is at US$71.50. My question is what do you know about the latest exchange rate? It's impossible to get restaurant prices on line. Thank you!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Chris! Great observation. Yes, we're putting out videos now that we filmed earlier on in the year. The pesos rocketed up to what you've currently listed. Right now, we're back in Argentina, I'd say prices compared to exchanges with USD are only slightly better than when we visited earlier in the year. Maybe a $10 USD meal is now 9 or 8.75 but not in all cases. It is a tough time for locals as inflation has soured along with the peso. Still overall, as a foreigner visiting you're getting prices that are cheaper than even a few years ago.

[@sebassanchezc-1379]

You shouldn't worry about. Prices are EXCELLENT. Food is AMAZING whines and beers too and everything is really cheap. YOU WON'T REGRET. I'm sure you'll want to stay longer...👍

En los pequeños restaurants más populares de Argentina, la salsa no se cobra por separado, sino que viene en el valor del plato. En todo caso, te cobran un pequeño valor adicional si querés extra carne en el estofado, por ejemplo. Pero en los restaurants que son un poco más fancy (o con pretensiones de serlo, jajaja), las salsas van siempre aparte. Lo cual es paradójico, porque son platos populares de pasta, que no deberían costar tanto, por lo que ofrecen. De todas maneras, últimamente todo está bastante caro en Argentina y conviene buscar bien antes de decidirse por un restaurant. Por eso es que prefiero cocinar yo o comer en casas de locales cuando viajo, antes que en restaurants.

If you think $32.00 is expensive for Pasta, try eating in a restaurant in San Francisco Ca. That meal you had would have cost you over $100.00 for both.

That is true Roseanne! It is so relative. It can be quite pricey back home in Canada as well.

[@Camila-ku8rk]

They are right though, 32 dollars is a pricey meal for us argentinians

[@fimmt684]

Argentina had the potential to become an incredibly prosper country, such a shame it was invaded by the wrong people. From what I’ve heard things are not getting any better soon and although is not a poor country by itself, most people are corrupt, ignorant and vision lacking. Very sad to think that half of the new world is as poor and backward as many undeveloped countries in the Middle East or south east Asia (or even worse in some aspects)..
