Highlights
  • Lucio Pizza y Pasta - We’ll start with a typical Porteño breakfast here
  • Jardin Botanico - Fantastic architecture, sculptures, and plant life. This is a true oasis in the middle of all of the bustle.
  • Plaza Italia - Originally this was the gateway into Palermo Forest and the starting point of the first trolleys in Buenos Aires. One of the oldest monuments in the country is located here.
  • Parrilla El Pensador - This is one of the local non-turisty grills that we can stop for some steak.
  • Plaza Inmigrantes de Armenia - Originally the site of a gasometer that dominated the neighborhood skyline. Since then it’s been a park favored by locals and home to farmers markets and artisan markets on the weekends.

Around this area we visit a couple of other food stops.

There are also some side streets that are filled with street art for us to explore. There are also several restaurants where we will stop to sample a variety of local delicacies. Many of these places do not show up on the map as attractions.

  • Rapa Nui - This is one of the ice cream shops that we can end the tour at. We actually have several different great options and we can decide on the day which one you would like to visit.

Additional Information

On this personalized 6-hour expedition, you’ll unravel the culinary mysteries of Palermo Viejo, soaking in its cuisine, history, and vibrant art.

Our journey begins where Buenos Aires first opened its doors, starting the day with a traditional Porteño breakfast.

The origins of the city’s green spaces and tree-fringed boulevards can be traced back to this area, which interestingly also houses one of the oldest monuments in the continent.

A taste of Argentina’s renowned steak awaits you at an off-the-beaten-path location, coupled with the country’s iconic sandwich and a selection of popular local starters and snacks.

A craft beer option is available at one of our culinary stops, with the possibility of including a wine tasting session amid the abundant food.

As we traverse from one spot to the next, there will be opportunities to appreciate the local graffiti art. This is a multisensory tour with ample chances for capturing memorable photographs.

A great food tour! - We had a fantastic day with Josefina. We explored several parts of Palermo, stopping for amazing food - including black sausage, steak, empanadas and gelato. Josephine was very knowledgeable, providing just the right amount of information and history about the area, making it personable and accessible. We learned a lot from her! I’d highly recommend this company, the communication was great and it was absolutely good value.

Palermo history and food experience! Not to be missed! - A great tour of Palermo and vicinity with Frank who gave us great insights to both the rich local history as well as a wonderful food adventure. The combination of both were just perfect. Made it fun, got in some needed walking and the conversation was wonderful. His ability to customize to what we wanted was the best and we will be returning for much more! P.S. the wine tasting was amazing.

Wonderful Day Tour - We started our visit to Buenos Aires with this tour and it was so much better than we anticipated it would be! We are so glad we discovered it. Our guide, Josefina, was absolutely wonderful. We started at a small restaurant where we had typical medialunas and my husband had a typical drink, a submarine, which was new to us. While we ate, Josefina learned about us andmour interests and explained the tour to us. Josefina’s English is perfect and she is very knowledgeable about Buenos Aires history, culture, and food. We visited many sites that we would have never seen if it had not been for this tour. Josefina explained to us all about General Garibaldi in Plaza Italia and after giving us some of his history, she pulled out a thermos of Garibaldi drinks! Our tour included a wine tasting which was in a beautiful boutique hotel. We had a delicious steak at a little local place that we would never have chosen on our own. Throughout the tour, Josefina related history in a meaningful way and she was also able to tell us about current events in Argentina. She has a nice sense of humor. The day flew by! After the tour, Frank sent us a beautiful photo album along with more information about monuments and murals we saw. And, Josefina helped me findna store that sells those little white penguin pitchers . This tour is well worth the price. One of the best ever. Go!

He has on one of the best backgrounds I've ever encountered on a tour and a true lover of Buenos Aires. The food was fantastic and we were well taken care of. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting the city.

Asado Food Tour Palermo - We do food tours everywhere we travel. It is a unique way to learn about the local culture through food. I reached out to Frank many months ago and he provided me with recommendations and sound advice for enjoying Buenos Aires. This tour was exactly what we hoped based on how well Frank treated us. Fernando was our guide. He was very informative with both the food and the culture. Thank you to the team for welcoming us and showing us the local cuisine. The memories will be discussed for a lifetime. Muchas gracias!

A most excellent food and wine adventure - My wife and I booked the Palermo Food and Wine Tour with Asado Adventure Foods. We like the experience of guided food tours, especially when we have never been to that city before. It gives us insight into the history and culture of a place and its people. We booked the tour a year in advance with the owner Frank who was also very helpful providing information on local hotels, sights and restaurants. On the morning of the tour, we were reminded by text where to meet our guide and advised to be sure to dress comfortably and wear a hat as the weather was going to be sunny and very hot. We met our vibrant and engaging guide Natalia at a local restaurant where we enjoyed coffee and pastries while she discussed the days offering. Our day took us to the botanical gardens, where Natalia came prepared with bug spray, just in case, then past local historical sites where she took pictures of us and the sites and told us about the history of what we were seeing. We then moved on to food tastings at several local eateries, places that you would never know to stop at on your own, but at which we enjoyed delicious examples of the local food and Natalia told us about the customs surrounding food and family in Chile. Finally, we stopped for wine tasting at the Miravida Hotel and Wine Bar where Sandra, the most knowledgeable Hotel sommelier shared some delicious wines. Between the food and wine stops, Natalia took us on a tour of local wall art in the Palermo area providing us with information on the history of the area, the artists and Chile. Throughout the tour Natalia made sure to check on our comfort (it was a very hot day) and made sure we had plenty of water and shade. This was an exceptional tour and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. It was worth every peso.

Great Day! - Overall the tour was so much more than we expected. The food was great, the wine tasting that we added on was wonderful, and Frank was a great tour guide. The pictures he took throughout the day, and sent to us at the end of the day was a perfect little extra! Would definitely recommend the tour, and would try any others he has to offer.
