What to Eat in Argentina: 7 Must-Try Local Dishes

"In the Núñez neighborhood of Buenos Aires, this MICHELIN-recommended restaurant elevates Argentina’s love of offal to haute cuisine with dishes like Roasted Tongue with Quince. The tongue is first braised, then quickly finished on the grill while being brushed with a well-concentrated demi-glace. Trimmings are transformed into a rich fry-up with plenty of green onion, bound with eggs and turned into a fried empanada using puff pastry. To balance the fattiness of the tongue, the plate includes a smoothly cooked quince puree and vinegar-pickled quince slices, creating a refined yet deeply traditional expression of Argentine offal cookery, as described by chef and partner Lucas Canga at this charming spot." - The MICHELIN Guide
