Pirilo

You can feel so much history and love for food in this place. Tiny place with an old atmosphere. One of the most stubbornly traditional pizzerias left in the city. While you can order whole pizzas, the main draw is the pizza sold by the slice at the counter.

El Zanjon de Granados
The most important architectural building in San Telmo and one of the most important in the city. It has 200 years of history. You only visit by guided tour which takes about an hour. The above ground part of the magnificent old building together with its watchtower is great but it is the subterranean part of the tour which is of most interest. The original owners plainly would have been counted amongst the wealthiest families in Argentina but the immense amount of money spent by the current owners in restoring the building suggests that they are in the same company.

Nuestra Parrilla
Always a great vibe and atmosphere. The choripan to be loved. You can find this place by following that mouth-watering smell. It’s a very small and unassuming (maybe even intimidating?) place with some of the best meat+fire combinations. The service is very friendly and they take such pride in making sure you have a good meal.
