Finally, a travel post after my own heart! My favourite thing to do in a foreign country is to visit their grocery stores, and I’m absolutely digging the recommendations! Thanks for this!
You are so welcome, Tammi! Glad to find another lover of local food stores. Thanks for your comments!
I haven’t sampled any Argentinean food before but I would love to try some. Checking out stores that sell authentic but foreign staples is one of my favourite things to do when I’m in the city!
Glad you love visiting the local food stores as well. It is really a unique cultural experience. What’s the most interesting thing you’ve discovered? Argentinian food stores are so much fun!! Thanks for your comments Carly.
Yum!! It must be fantastic getting and eating freshly cut meat. There’s nothing that tops knowing where your food comes from. Good to know where to try the best Mollejas!
You are right Anna, knowing where our food comes from is so important. Fresh meat from a great butcher is the best!! Let us know if you try the Mollejas!! Cheers
Your post just made me crave for food! I haven’t been to Argentina yet but I do hope I get to see it soon! Thanks to this post, I will now have prior ideas on where to get my food fix 😉
So glad that the post made you “crave” for food 🙂 I do hope you get to Argentina soon. The food is incredible and it goes way beyond beef and malbec wines. Keep this future reference indeed. Thanks Aileen.
Excellent post and beautiful photos! I haven’t been to Argentina but I love visiting food stores when I travel to other countries. I hope to go to Argentina one day and will try to visit a few of the ‘food museums ‘ on this list. Thank you 🙂
Thank you Nancy and so happy to hear that you enjoyed the post. Glad you also enjoy visiting food stores as well. Hope you get to Argentina soon. Cheers!
Indeed, when traveling, one should check the local food stores as museums. They offer so many products that can turn into true gems and opportunities to really sense the local taste. These 8 places in Argentina sound amazing – I’d definitely check them out, especially the Lo Integral Bakery in Bariloche. 😉
So glad you enjoyed “discovering” these 8 places in Argentina. And,glad that you check out local stores on your travels too. Truly, Lo Integral Bakery was a delightful find. Not only was the bread delicious, the staff was amazing as well. Hope you make it to Argentina soon. Cheers!
I like that you’re highlighting not just authentic restaurants but where you can authentic ingredients to create meals for yourself. Would love to have the chance to dig into some Argentinian food.
Thanks Megan for your comments and support. We really want to inspire people to create their own food adventures – at restaurants or at “home”. The idea is to travel deeper through food!! Appreciate your comments.
I love visiting grocery stores around the world. It’s always cool to see how similar and how different they can be from home. I also love seeing crazy foods that I would never imagine seeing in a grocery store back home!
That’s awesome Cailin that you love the local grocery stores as well. What’s the most “different” thing you have discovered on your travels? One of the most surprising things we discovered in South America is the packaging of yogurt. Instead of little individual “pots” you would find in the U.S., what we saw instead was yogurt sold in plastic bags. Delicious, but just different 🙂 Share with us your story 🙂
Visiting local foodstores are the best way to experience authentic food. Oh my gosh I need to try the ravioli with the chocolate and blue cheese fillings!
Yes, Marteen indeed food stores are great for experiencing the authentic foods. You know, we didn’t have the chance try the chocolate and blue cheese ravioli.. so many great choices to choose from…and so little time to eat!! 🙂 Cheers!
That scenery looks so incredible. But I can see from your post that it’s not only the scenery that can be interesting about a place, but the food and the food stores. This is very useful info!
Thank you Elissa for your comments. So glad you enjoyed the post and indeed food stores are quite a cultural experience. Cheers 🙂
I love the photo of the Perito Moreno Glacier. The contrast of blues and whites always draw me in. The only thing that draws me in more is the Argentinian meat. 😉
So glad you love the photo of Perito Moreno. Seeing it and walking on the glacier was a unique experience. Yes, the meat is outstanding….but there is much more than the beef 🙂 Cheers!
Great post! Those places looks so nice to buy ingredients you need for an all authentic Argentinian food. And the cheese, they look amazing, I’ll bet they taste as well. By the way you have a great smile Ms. Claire 🙂
Thank you Eloise. Appreciate it!!! So glad you enjoyed reading the post. We were amazed at the diversity of great stores in Argentina. Yes….the cheese..yum!!!
These stores look great and wow you got to see a glacier, I have seen one in the Himalayas they are so beautiful . Great write up love the variety and the pics!
Thank you Prateek for your comments. Glad you enjoyed the write-up and the pictures. Perito Moreno is simply incredible. Can only imagine just how beautiful the Himalayas are.That’s great. Cheers!
What a great resource. We self cater overseas and always shop at local stores and markets ?
That’s right Tandy, the local stores are indeed the best places to get a local flavor…not to mention the interesting products. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I wish I could access all of these! I love finding stores that sell authentic ingredients. I’ve personally just visited a Greek store today and bought supplies. Great article showing such a great range of places to buy these wonderful ingredients and foods.
Thank you Kerri. There is so much “richness” at local grocery stores. Truly fascinating and what we call “food museums.” That’s wonderful that you shop at Greek stores. I’m sure it’s so great to see the differences in the similar products you buy 🙂 Thanks for sharing your experience.
