Of course, no trip would be complete without some excellent food. In Buenos Aires, we visited two historic cafes, tried the local version of pizza/Italian cuisine, and visited two steakhouses. Sadly, not all experiences could be documented properly on this page!

The doors show the logo of Cafe Tortoni. We had to wait about 15 minutes to be let inside, but the host was very accommodating.

On our last night back in our home neighborhood of Palermo Soho, we had a late-afternoon snack and drink at Finisterra Bar. This beer tower we ordered garnered many strange looks from people on the sidewalk!

It took some getting used to the late dinner schedule in Buenos Aires. In order to adjust, we started having multiple dinners. Here was pizza from Finisterra Bar.

We had passed by Estilo Criollo many times on our way to the Subte, and decided to finally visit on our last night in Buenos Aires. To say that it was a heavy meal wouldn't be doing it justice. Just look at the charcoaled meat they have displayed in the window!

Another shot of the kitchen at Estilo Criollo. It was an excellent last meal in South America.
