I am also a vegetarian and my body has never been in a very good shape. Being a vegan can really make you much heathier.-”‘

When I went to Bio, I loved it.. all the food is so fresh and flavorful, and so sophisticated when compared with the flavor choices of the typical Argentine restaurant.
I don’t recommend taking an Argentine there unless they are adventurous with food. I took a friend there once and she couldn’t eat a thing, she had no idea what quinoa was and couldn’t stand the strong flavoring. She practically begged for a steak.

Your post couldn’t come at a better time. I am off to Buenos Aires in two weeks and was full of dread thinking about finding meatless meals.

Los Sabios (3733) wins the day. Veggie Chinese buffet.

Also, you can now add Burger King to this list. I just stopped in my local BK, and it turns out they’re selling something called the Soja Bio Sandwich now – it’s basically a soy milanesa sandwich. Veggie options in fast food chains…to think that Argentina beat the US to it (the hula burger doesn’t count).

Lotos on Córdoba 1577 is also a good veggie restaurant, especially if you don’t speak much Spanish or are in a hurry. They serve vegetarian and vegan food cafeteria-style. Expect to spend about 40 pesos per meal. In the basement, there’s a whole foods store with all sorts of grains and herbal products.

Great suggestions Valerie. I’m a veg traveling in BsAs right now. I’ve been able to find good vegetarian selections on menus, as long as I stay out of parrillas. Thanks for the tips.

Bio is delicious!!
However, I made a great random discovery for veggies on a budget: La casa de Oshawa, has a special offer for bulk buying their freshly cooked food as frozen – over 90% of the options are veggie and I would live off that place without breaking the bank. Fantastic deserts too!
I wrote about how I travel as a veggie and one of my biggest discoveries in Buenos Aires was the use of the word “dieta” or “dietetica” – since vegetarianism doesn’t work so well in BsAs culture, it seems that being on “a diet” does, and a lot of restaurants have a “diet” section. When you look at it, there is a good chance it’s vegetarian. You need to confirm, but this saved me lots of time and frustration.

And here I thought you made that up to get out of coming all the way out to San Telmo again.

I’m so excited to try some of these. There has been entirely too much meat in my diet lately.

Bio’s mighty tasty, though my wife and I suspect the raw soup made her sick once. The mushroom and rice dish was my favorite.
