The culinary scene in Buenos Aires is still as dynamic and renowned as ever.

Argentine cuisine is much more than just beef or coffee. There is something for all palates, all cultures, all budgets:

A real Kosher trend

Today, Judeo-Argentine cuisine is bursting into the capital.

With a Jewish population of approximately 250,000, Buenos Aires is home to the second largest Jewish community in the Americas after New York.
Among the city’s various restaurants, it is those of Chef Tomás Kalika, Mishiguene and Fayer, who stood out in 2018. They have seduced his clients through his work of merging Jewish cuisine with Argentine cooking techniques.
