Like every year, July 9 is one of those key dates to celebrate independence and, obviously, maintain the customs of our ancestors. For this reason, classic Creole dishes become essential for many and we leave you a list of places where you can go to eat Creole menus or even take away.
For those who like to be in contact with nature, there is Tribe (Juan Diaz de Solis 2794, Martinez), an imposing space surrounded by nature and on the banks of the river in Bajo de Martínez. In its rustic-style room or its deck with stoves and heating mushrooms, you can enjoy a Patriotic Menu that includes: a knife-cut meat empanada, homemade bread and a portion of lentil stew (with vegetables, roast beef and red chorizo) for $2200 per person. To accompany, its menu has a remarkable selection of wines and signature cocktails.
To enjoy with family or friends, the grill Old Pattern (Av. Larrazábal 502, Liniers) will serve an exclusive locro made with pasture meats, the star product of its menu. With a base of white corn, beans, kabutia, sweet potatoes and other vegetables, it will have roast beef, brisket, pork breast, leatherette, tripe and red chorizo for $1,200 a portion. You can taste it throughout the day and complement it with other specialties from the usual menu, such as its juicy knife-cut meat empanadas and the homemade dulce de leche flan with semi-whipped cream. Located in a large corner of the neighborhood, this renovated old house has large rooms, an outdoor deck and a comfortable heated terrace.
Another meat restaurant with a good proposal for this July 9 is Maiky (Gorriti 5806, Palermo), which will present a traditional locro crowned with the special touch of the house: a chorizo roasted on the coals and smoked in the house with fruit tree chips. In addition, they will have a vegetarian variety with white mashed corn, beans, pumpkin, carrot, onion and spices. To consume in the restaurant –which offers a lounge, patio and heated terrace– both options will be served with a glass of Álamos wine for $1,800 and for delivery or take away They will be accompanied by a knife-cut meat empanada or a chard croquette for $1,500.
In Peppermint Restaurant (Av. Caseros 454, San Telmo) They have a different menu: national dishes, but in “plant-based” versions (without ingredients of animal origin) that do not make meat strange at all. It is enough to read its tempting flavor combinations to approach this picturesque place on Boulevard Caseros and try new flavors. The experience will begin with a coconut charcoal dough empanada stuffed with quinoa, kale and tofu mozzarella, accompanied by a fresh avocado and huacatay dressing. It will continue with a portion of locro based on white corn, red beans, pumpkin, eggplant, mushrooms, vegan red chorizo and vegan bacon. All this paired with a glass of Animal Malbec Organic wine will cost $3,500 per person. It will also be available for delivery or take away.
To put together a complete menu anywhere, the house of artisanal meals Osorio (Agüero 1623 and Av. Gral. Las Heras 2188, Recoleta) will offer classic Argentine dishes ready to go and enjoy: homemade empanadas -fried or baked- of humita, smoked vacuum, knife meat, bondiola and more options; tasty lentil stew with lentils, roast beef, red chorizo, smoked bacon and lots of vegetables; and homemade house flan for the sweet ending.
