Don Julio
@practicalglobetrotters
1 Michelin Star and Taste Atlas - "There are few people who have not heard of the Don Julio restaurant and Pablo Rivero, the chef-owner at the helm of... one of the best grills on the planet! Walking through the doors of this restaurant, where it is not easy to get a table, means immersing yourself in Argentine culinary culture and understanding their passion for meat, which is seen here as a family legacy (Pablo's grandmother was a butcher and his parents were cattle ranchers). How have they achieved excellence? Thanks to their exclusive mixed maturation process, the selection of animals (Hereford and Angus breeds), their concept of sustainability and Regenerative Livestock Farming... The philosophy is that of a classic grill, although evolved and with gastronomic overtones. They present a cut counter that is a spectacle, a "V" shaped grill so that the fat does not fall on the embers producing smoke, white quebracho charcoal that does not alter the flavours... and a wine cellar, focused on national wines, which treasures authentic gems."

Mishiguene
@practicalglobetrotters
Recommended by Michelin Guide: Situated just a few metres from the stunning Jardín Japonés, a verdant garden that highlights the friendship that exists between Argentina and Japan, you’ll come across Mishiguene (“crazy” in Yiddish), a restaurant that is full every day and that everyone is talking about. In its busy dining room, with its classic English style and a bar counter for customers, discover cuisine that revives the flavours of Jewish cuisine from a contemporary perspective. These revive Jerusalem-trained chef Tomás Kalika’s childhood recollections and his quest for “emotional memories” that demonstrate the imprint of an immigrant population marked by history. On his à la carte, which is complemented by a tasting menu, you’ll find delicious and copious dishes full of personality which usually feature lots of ingredients. One of Mishiguene’s signature dishes is Pastrón, a beef prime rib cured for ten days with salt, herbs and spices, which is then smoked over wood embers for four hours, and steam-cooked for a further fourteen.

La Alacena Trattoria
@practicalglobetrotters
Michelin Bib Gormand Award, Eater 38 Essential Restaurants - "This quaint trattoria just outside of Palermo’s trendy epicenter is the type of neighborhood restaurant everyone wishes to have in their barrio. Head chef and owner Julieta Oriolo channels her Italian roots to create simple and tasty home-style dishes. Be sure to try hand-made, fresh pastas like cavatelli, tortellacci, and tía Carmelia’s lasagna bolognese. Most of the pastas, sauces, freshly baked breads, and pastries are available for takeaway at La Alacena Pastificio, the team’s pasta shop a few blocks away."

Obrador Florida
@practicalglobetrotters
Recommended by Eater 38 Essential Restaurants and Saveur Magazine- "Argentina might be famous for its beef, but the unsung hero of the food scene is the helado. The Italian-style gelato is a big deal in BA; take a walk around any barrio and you’ll notice locals lining up at ice cream shops no matter the time of year. After a tour of the city’s classic heladerias, those looking for more unconventional flavors should head to Obrador Florida, where graphic designer turned ice cream artisan Mercedes Román carefully sources sustainable fruits to create 12 rotating flavors."

Cadore Gelato Artigianale
@practicalglobetrotters
Taste Atlas Recommendation - “The Olivotti family brought their traditional Italian ice cream-making techniques with them when they emigrated to Argentina. Their most iconic flavor is dulce de leche, which perfectly combines Italian technique with a beloved Argentine flavor.” Opened since 1957. National Geographic listed Cadore in the top ten ice cream shops in the world in 2017. Open 12pm-12am Sunday - Thursday, 12pm - 2am Friday and Saturday.

MARTi
@practicalglobetrotters
Recommended by Michelin Guide - "Chef Germán Martitegui, who is well known thanks to his role as a judge on MasterChef, has given his cuisine a complete makeover, but one which is the complete opposite to the traditional Argentinian taste for meat. This is showcased via his “We do not kill animals” maxim and a 100% vegetarian menu (with vegan options) in this restaurant in the prosperous Recoleta district of the city. This bright and relaxed eatery occupying the former interior garden of a house is always full and comes as a pleasant surprise thanks to its casual atmosphere and discreet street access – the outside gives no inkling of what’s inside! Once you’ve rung the bell, you are escorted to a striking dining room with large picture windows and plenty of vegetation. There are no tables here; instead, you eat at the central kitchen counter, enabling you to see how dishes are grouped by ingredients (humita, corn crisp and cumin meringue; chori, bao and magic; puff pastry and peach). Marti also grows its own wild mushrooms here."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ashley Gasque
Hi! I’m Ashley. In 2021, my husband Levon and I retired in our late 50s and sold just about everything - our Washington, DC home and all of our worldly possessions (except our dog, Ernie, and Levon’s beloved paramotors) and hit the road. We now spend at least part of each year in beautiful San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and slow travel the rest of the time. Over the last 27+ years together, we’ve lived in 6 countries (the US, Egypt, Zambia, South Africa, Kenya, and Mexico), and traveled to over 40 more. In 2024, we traveled to 13 countries - a personal best!
Our ideal location is 75 degrees, has lots of culture and natural wonders, great food, and a modest cost of living. We do splurge on amazing places and experiences every now and then, and we try to make up for it by going to less expensive places to balance our budget. We want to get the most out of our time and money!
We’ve gained a lot of wisdom from these travels, but there’s always so much more to learn. Be sure to send us a message if you have any questions we might be able to help answer. We’ll do our best to share what we know or point you to the resources we regularly use for our own research.
Thanks for joining us on our journey!
