Everything You Must Eat in Buenos Aires Argentina (Restaurant Guide) | Jeremy Jacobowitz

[@Swissarg]

I feel sooo happy living in Argentina coming from Switzerland (Swissarg 🇨🇭🇦🇷) Argentina? Heaven on earth!

[@miggcroix]

by any chance, you ever been in the Lugano from here? Well, its not a good idea to do it, but its the place where I was raised, so you could say I'mma something of a swiss myself haha

[@joser1853]

Bro, I'll be in BA in a week was searching for a video that just made my stomach grumble and this was it. I'm literally going to most of the places featured!

[@BrunchBoys]

love it!! it's an amazing food city

[@ParanormalParaNormales]

I live in Denver, but I’m from Argentina ...I miss the food and the late restaurants ...thanks for being there and show my roots and people .❤

Love hearing your background. Sounded so close to my husband’s father. Like your grandfather, he was also born in Poland, and went to Argentina because the boat to America was full. Food looks great!

[@BrunchBoys]

thank you!! it mustve been thousands of families!

[@bolivian_surfer]

The thing I love about Buenos Aires is that you can find delicious food in a small bar or restaurant, no need to go to a fancy place to have a nice meal. By the way, nice Jay White tee!

[@BrunchBoys]

exactly!! thank you!!

[@mrbushlied7742]

Great video! I'm going on holiday to Argentina from 17 March until 2 April: Buenos Aires, Ushuaia, and El Calafate. This will be my third visit to Argentina. However, my previous visits were a long time ago: mid 80's and early 90's. I am going to see if Argentina is a good country to retire to when I finally retire in '26. Besides the unstable currency, my greatest concern about Argentina is that I'm vegan. During my first visit to Argentina, I was a carnivore. On my second visit to Argentina in the early 90s, I was a vegetarian and did not find BA vegetarian-friendly at all. Hopefully, the vegan/vegetarian situation in BA at least has ameliorated in the last three decades.

[@BrunchBoys]

has to be better atleast! good luck!!

[@MATR87]

It surely changed a lot. I am a vegeterian and I was there for the first time in ten years in 2021, and the veggie scene has exploded. From luxury dinning to street food, you will find plenty of options. Make sure to pay a visit to Gioia, a restaurant inside the Duhau Palace in Recoleta. Mindblowing!

[@BrunchBoys]

@@MATR87 thanks!

[@mrbushlied7742]

@@BrunchBoysWe're almost finished with my two-week holiday in Argentina: BA, Ushuaia, El Calafate, and back to BA. We found lots of vegan restaurants and most other restaurants have at least a vegetarian option. We did not starve during our Argentine holiday!

[@candelavazano]

I came too late to recommend some vegan restaurants and rotiserías. Hope u enjoy some of the good ones ❤

[@ChrisAndEmilie]

All the food looks so good! We just arrived in Buenos Aires last week and can’t stop eating!

[@BrunchBoys]

love it!!

[@sol_badano]

Glad you had a great time in Argentina! Hope you came back soon and try more things, gastronomy changes from North to South so if you stay in another province you'll find new things you may like!

[@BrunchBoys]

I was in Mendoza too! video coming soon

[@Sofymeme]

Our currency is so devalued also that visiting Argentina is a bargain.

[@GoodLifeInSpain]

My partner and I lived in BsAs in 2005 and have been back many times. The food is crazy good! It's one of my favorite places in the world.

[@MaxAires]

It is to highlight that you have managed to show the variety and colour of the city in a way that feels sober and not jolted -on purpose - just in pursuit of showcasing more color. As a city dweller, I appreciate it.

[@BrunchBoys]

thank you!!

[@ParanormalParaNormales]

The last thing you are eating in La Mezzeta ,is a garbanzo paste ( chick peas ) we made for putting on top of the pizza or you can eat it plain , the name is FAINA

[@BrunchBoys]

ahhh thank you!!

[@siiiiiuu7]

Love that you showcased the diversity of cuisines. All looks incredibly yummy!

[@arianamarasco2158]

Great video!! I’m Argentinian and I love seeing this videos of people around the world enjoying choripanes and milanesas. Hope you come back soon and visit other provinces like Jujuy and Salta in the North, Also the south (Patagonia) is something from another world. In Puerto Madryn you can watch whales with their babies, also diving or snorkelling with sea lions is pretty common and a wonderful experience. I seriously recommend trying Patagonian sea food, completely fresh and delicious

[@BrunchBoys]

sounds amazing!! i def have to come back!

They need to make that pizza with all the onions popular in the states. It looks so good. I want a Argentinian style pie. Yeah I like the sound of that.

[@BrunchBoys]

yesss

[@AldoSchmedack]

I'm part Polish, mostly Germanic though. We came to America in 1800's. To me nothing says Polish or Argentiné like sausage. Specifically Choripán! My fav!

[@mauona]

Happy that you enjoyed your stay in Argentina. Like you said, we received immigration from all over the world with open arms. Just to give you an idea, my grandparents were Greek, Russian, Japanese and Spanish/Arabic. We received people from Spain, Italy, Poland, USA, UK, Russia, France, Germany, China, Taiwan, Japan, Greece, you name it. Most of the people that came here from Poland, estabished in Misiones, which is located to the Northeast of Argentina, next to Brazil. You might have heard about Iguazu Waterfall. Also, it's where yerba mate (ilex paraguariensis) production is concentrated, as well as rice production. If you like fish, there are some delicious river fish there, like dorado (Salminus brasiliensis) and pacu (Myleus pacu). Basically, between 1921 and 1976, 169,335 Poles permanently settled in the country. If I am not mistaken, we had three waves of immigrants from Poland. Today we have around 500,000 Argentines of Polish descent. My father travelled to Misiones (Obera, Azara, Apostoles, Junin, etc.) a lot because of his job and knew lots of people from Poland. He said they were very intelligent and kind people. Very talented and educated. Excellent Engineers. So much they founded a Polish Engineering Association. I believe the third wave brought people with higher academic training. Sometimes, our civil registry would mispell surnames because they weren't used to them, so it is likely that some people are relatives, but their surnames are different. If you are interested, here is a bit of the story and some notable people of Polish descent: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Argentines Also, there is a White Eagle Project which involves people from Poland here: www.elaguilablanca.com/elaguila/elaguila-proyec1.html And there is a Polish Cultural Circle which explains the History of the community here: circulopolones.com.ar/acontecimientos-historicos/

[@joaquimrodriguez8961]

I really don't enjoy watching people eat, but that food looks wonderful.

[@BrunchBoys]

ill take it!!

[@chalito8127]

Hey! The faina is meant to be put on top or under the pizza (that;'s why it's cut in the same way) and eaten together with the pizza :)

[@BrunchBoys]

ooooo!! thanks!!

You can find it at many places around the world. For instance, in Nice (France) it is very typical and it is called SOCA.

[@picolete]

Me acabo de dar cuenta que pusieron servilletas de verdad en la Mezzetta, después de 100 años

[@BrunchBoys]

jajaja si

[@increiblepelotudo]

I'm Yangui-Argento, born in Manhattan to Argie parents. The food is delicious. Ice cream is the truth there. Also, we're not really known for tortilla de papas at all, but you do you! That is super Spanish (derogatory term used there before - gallego). We are known for milanesas / pure de papas - ensalada de zanahoria, and a ton more stuff.

[@LeonardoMagnelli]

Tortilla de papas is a staple of any argentine restaurant menu, as common as it is in Spain. Saludos.

[@papitosabe]

Pelo, tortilla de papa's is absolutely a big thing there. I/parents born there and we had this once a week. A lot less when we moved to the US but it's 1000% a staple.

[@santiagodelhoyo3109]

[@LeonardoMagnelli]

Good video, interesting how you managed to show argentine food without the typical asado lol. Good job on that. Greetings.

[@BrunchBoys]

Thanks for watching

[@Porscheman1]

We were in BA a few years ago. We stayed in the Recoleta area, stunning area: parks, restaurants, world-famous Cemetery, lots to see & do.

[@BrunchBoys]

yes!

[@choboutube]

Nice. You didn't have any asado! The slow cooked bbq beef ribs are amazing. I was in Buenos Aires for about 5 days, then to Colombia for a few days before a long layover in Buenos Aires again before returning to HK. I don't think I'd eaten so much beef in a week before. Choripan was great but you felt so guilty, you could just feel the calories in each bite.

[@ramiro041]

I can't believe you included la mezzeta in your list, I was born 6 blocks from it and it's a big part of my childhood, big neighborhood institution, people are proud of it, if you meet some one from Villa Urquiza and invite you to their home they're gonna want to take you there

[@ramiro041]

Tbh I do believe it since it became well known during the 2010s

[@BrunchBoys]

love it!!

[@lbenegas]

You should have tried HELADO (ice cream) as the perfect ending.

[@BrunchBoys]

oooo

[@elvisminaya9069]

Hola, do you have another video showing the most popular food of Argentina? Yes, El asado argentino, las famosas parrilladas. This video was mostly about pasta, which is important, but not as important as the grill meat or asados for us Argentinians.

love it! i forget, but it was right around that time

[@eliv.7062]

It feels great to share your foodie experience in my city; I couldn't help watching the whole video... Glad you've enjoyed the food so much!! Our roots are a melting pot, so our cuisine has been largely influenced by all the inmigration coming from a multiplicity of places and cultures, though the Spanish and the Italian are the ones that can be more recognisable at first sight. We've created our own versions of certain dishes so the food you can try here is unique and usually very tasty. Thank you for visiting and giving such positive impressions of some of our eating hits. ❤

[@BrunchBoys]

thank you! cant wait to be back!

[@ArgentinaPoloDay]

All those are a must! Should I include an asado in the countryside?

[@YASTravelsEatsWell]

Hi J: nice intro to BA. You hit my favorite pizzeria, for sure! The 2 girls at the market are classic! I usually stay in SanTelmo or Monserrat so I know that area! I will visit that Cafe with the connection to Mendoza! I'm surprised that you didn't visit a steak house! Oh, Nuestra Parrilla has always been on top of my list. It has better choripan than the nearby SanTelmo market & cheaper, as you found out. Also I think the choripan here is better than the touristy Chori! By the way my favorite place for milaneses is Don Ignacio's. For steak, off the tourist track, is Las Tallas de Entr.

[@franzinera68]

La Mezzeta! OMG I miss it so much 😭

[@huntgoodstuff]

Glad I stumbled on this! Great work man! I'm going to Argentina at the end of the month and am still on the fence about bringing my Sony A7SIII. How did you feel about the safety of your equipment and was it worth it?

[@BrunchBoys]

I honestly felt very safe! there are a few areas that is known for pickpocketing, that I was a bit more cautious of, and anywhere I travel, I'm overly cautious, but never felt actually unsafe anywhere!

[@Zyxwvutsrq]

I'm an Argentinian living in Italy. I've never expected to say this, but I miss the Argie pizza SO much. It's like a focaccia with extra sauce, and seasoning. The mozzarella is also completely different: salty, buttery, and strongly flavored. Here in Italy, the flavors are mild, lean, and low on seasoning. I feel like I'm on a diet :'D
