As every year, on May 25 everyone wants to celebrate by tasting the classic Creole dishes such as locro, empanadas and cakes, among others. That is why we share a list of places that present special offers on the occasion of a new national celebration.
In Alo’s bistró (Av. Blanco Encalada 2120, Boulogne) they will prepare a national menu of a high gastronomic level. It will be a day of double celebration since, in turn, they will celebrate their ninth anniversary. There will be a menu with an entry of fried lamb empanadas; a very Creole main course of locro prepared with brisket, pork breast, oxtail, bondiola, pig’s trotters, white corn, lima beans and corn; sweet potato or quince cakes; and a Rogel cake with Mauricio Couly’s Jersey cow dulce de leche. Its chef, the talented Alejandro Féraud, is recognized as one of the promoters of cuisine that values local seasonal products and prioritizes the work of small and medium-sized local producers.
To celebrate with the family, Joe’s Grill restaurant (Av. Fondo de la Legua 340, San Isidro) will serve a tenderloin empanada and a classic lentil stew for $3,900 per person. For dessert or in the afternoon, they will have homemade cupcakes. The space has a colorful and comfortable lounge, a large terrace and an exclusive play area for children, equipped with a ball court, table football, a slide, a suspension bridge, virtual consoles and more attractions.
The Ribs al Río locro (Av. Costanera Rafael Obligado 7010 and Armenia 1744, Mercado Soho) will have the distinctive touch of Texas cuisine: it will be made up of products smoked over firewood. They will offer one with meat from the center, smoked bacon and chorizo ($2,990), and another vegetarian with sweet potato, corn and cabutia squash, also smoked ($2,750). Each serving will include homemade breads and spicy Quiquirimichi sauce. They can also be ordered as a combo along with a smoked brisket empanada and a glass of wine ($3,850).
Another special version of the locro is the one that they will offer at The Pizza OTL (Caseros 424, San Telmo), where they will make a traditional locro, with red chorizo and bacon, served on a bowl made with the dough that stars their gourmet pizzas. You can try it for $5,500 with a glass of wine. It should be noted that their pizzas are made with sourdough, organic flour and a long fermentation process, resulting in light, tasty and crunchy.

It will have a base of vegetables, white corn, various legumes, vegan chorizo and smoked tofu, served with the typical spicy sauce and a fresh salad, for $4,200 a portion.
