Giant milanesas, babé tortillas, homemade pasta, and that unique neighborhood charm—you can enjoy all that and more during Buenos Aires’ Bodegones Week. From August 24 to 28, Buenos Aires celebrates one of its most beloved culinary traditions with exclusive promotions, an interactive map, and a digital passport.
Buenos Aires Bodegones Week: Discounts and Promotions at Over 100 Establishments
For five consecutive days, more than 100 bodegones scattered throughout various neighborhoods of Buenos Aires will open their doors with special menus and unmissable discounts so you can enjoy home-style cooking at affordable prices and, while you’re at it, discover both new and classic bodegones in Buenos Aires without breaking the bank.
How to Plan Your Culinary Tour
To make sure you don’t miss a single dish, Semana de los Bodegones offers a digital passport and a digital map so you can create a customized route. Here’s what the passport is and how to use the map:
- Interactive Digital Map: This is an online map where you can check the location of each participating bodegón and explore the promotions available in each area.
- Bodegón Porteño Passport: At each table, you’ll find a QR code to scan with your cell phone. When you do, you’ll gain access to challenges, trivia about the history of local cuisine, and a collection of virtual stamps that reward your journey.
Historic Classics vs. New-Style Bodegones
The celebration brings together two worlds so you don’t have to choose between them—you can enjoy them all. On one hand, there are the traditional bodegones, a legacy of Spanish and Italian immigration, characterized by seasoned waitstaff, soda fountains, and generous portions meant for sharing. On the other hand, there are the “neobodegones”—these newer establishments that revive grandma’s recipes but reinterpret them with contemporary culinary techniques and modern settings.
Here you can check out the interactive map and start planning your own itinerary. Keep in mind that Bodegones Week runs from August 24 to 28, and time flies.
