Exchange Money

In April 2025. The national government announced the end of the exchange rate restrictions on the sale and purchase of dollars by individuals.

The best option is to use your credit card for dinner, the supermarket, and exchange small amounts in a normal bank for milongas and small expenses, such as veggies and candies.

Sometimes you will get a discount for cash, but it is not fun to carry cash all the time.

🥩 Food & Wine

If there’s one thing Buenos Aires knows how to do, it’s food. The city is a paradise for meat lovers—the asado (Argentine barbecue) is more than a meal; it’s a ritual of fire, smoke, and family.

My favorite Restaurant

But there’s more than meat. Porteños (the people of Buenos Aires) have inherited flavors from Italy and Spain—fresh pastas, wood-fired pizzas, empanadas, and pastries that rival Europe’s finest. Ask for the Carne al Horno con Papas!

Malbec and more....

And no meal is complete without wine. Argentina’s Malbec, born in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, tastes like the essence of the land itself—deep, smooth, and unforgettable.

And then there is coffee. Buenos Aires café culture is an experience in itself: marble tables, old wooden chairs, the hum of conversation, and hours spent people-watching with a cortado in hand. Dining in Buenos Aires isn’t about eating fast—it’s about slowing down, savoring, and living.
