a charming mountain town in Patagonia Argentina this place is a nature lovers
playground with crystalline rivers hidden waterfalls and forest trails to
explore so chances are you'll have some very active days and then find yourself
back in town with a big appetite at least that's what happened to us
super juicing such a really tender cut of meat when we weren't hiking we were
getting to know the town's many restaurants breweries and ice-cream
shops so today we're going to introduce you to some of the dishes we enjoyed
like suprema de pollo parrilla probably the right empanadas egg pizza cakes pies
raspberry beer and even Sam's beloved joints to the lychee ice cream just let
it roll around on your tongue now let's kick off this food tour around El Bolson
son argentinas like there's nothing we've ordered here that hasn't been
outstanding to surviving the hike survive the hike oh my gosh I've never
been so excited not just to be sitting down but to be having food Theresa is
gonna be like the best of all time look how hungry I am anyways we we
ordered some starters so we have some empanadas Freitas with carne which means
meat so there meat empanadas bread baskets I've eaten half the basket one
and then over here it looks like we have us a special kind of dip salsa looks
like there's beetroot also one of my favorite wine brands energy
it is from the bodega of it's called the Finkel last Morris and this is a blend
the triple blend we've tried them all back this is a triple blend cab saw of
Malbec and Petit Verdot yeah it's fantastic already today all right
and how about we try those empanada
yeah-ha-ha and crispy on the outside extremely juicy in the middle solids
here all right ah do you look at you guys complete complete I should mention
that this time around we got the buttery done one person and it is still I know
look at that beauty this is how much is left and you've already been munching
away on munching away I also have a guest of honor who's appeared at my side
any moment on demand at any moment
either well-fed poppers I need a well-mannered puppet no matter
what do you got on your plate here we got it juicy so this crime that's called
the CEO yeah it's one of my favorites and they're buried itself I think it
brings like 6 or duck or six or seven different cuts including like tradition
there's lamb there's you can start with URIs oh oh I've already had a bite of a
seal when you weren't looking my friend yeah the chorizo is really good as a
sign we once again order the pumpkin mash amazing it's just really creamy and
sweet yeah if you're coming to this restaurant in particular we highly
recommend it just go so nicely with the meat it's a really nice heart you can
get just pumpkin potato or a combination of the two yeah we like our pumpkin so
we have who ever experimented with anything else
oh yeah it's a wonderful meal yeah I'm just shocked by the meat portions in
Argentina like I can't believe that one person would be able to eat well we've
learned our lesson because we used to order the portion for two becoming
homeless stuff you can't eat that much meat
I could probably like I mean I could take care of this but it'd be a very the
rest of today would be very inactive yeah basically you basically need like
three hours yesterday all that yeah all that food and wine okay so you have
selected three different cuts of meat tell us so excited so over here we have
the side of the theatre which is basically the ribs but Cordero which is
the Patagonian lamb yeah forget the cut of this one what someone call the game
is called tunechi Dean that's in testing guys that's pretty adventurous for some
people but we've been eating it now for a while and actually I like it it's got
a nice rubbery texture to it you've been eating it for a while this is not a good
thing right here and of course we have the chimichurri which is combination of
all things great that our garlic ascription 40 me to everything it is a
combination of all things great oil things good Wonderlic wonderful for
flavoring the middle good guys there you go all right parsley oil vinegar let's
show some respect for where we are we're in the we're in Patagonia and they're
most known for their lamb let's try that first
so I'm super juicing it's actually really tender cut of meat I've had some
tougher lamb so that's nice to have some tender lamb moving on to the intestines
you remember the first time you try that guy's it's like you who's the owner
do you remember the first time you had change in Venus because I remember yes
oh alright guys now we're out on that and did you know what you were eating in
Peru or were you tricked I was check who tricked you
you ordered it I think your uncle ordered that ya not to order them and
then we fed it to you it's really good it's really chewy
I mean I wouldn't order like full plate of up put it nice it's a nice
accompanying meat if you're adventurous with your taste buds well there's the
one I want favorite cuts of meat in Argentina down that's basically the ribs
stop the bone there it's got the bold cut a big piece off here your big fancy
knife no not quite the knife you bought yesterday but still pretty fancy it's
not the go so a knife I think it was so nice about that knife I thought
yesterday was that all metal mm-hmm this one officer that wooden handle what it's
very sturdy in the hand nice and sharp we got a lot of meat you know otherwise
you get to
and now time just basically my favorite desert in Argentina its flank acero
House flan with a giant portion of bolsa de leche yeah you need the rest or this
is just for this is just one portion pass the portions here are so generous
with the meeting with the slides anything you order here is it's just
massive and just the quality is fantastic like the empanada was so juicy
and tasty the solid the pumpkin mash even the brain that's good even the
bread they bring with with like the homemade dip like there's nothing we've
ordered here that hasn't been outstanding
like it's just been that good how is that dessert you just let it roll around
on your tongue and it's like the best thing ever
yeah this is it's one of the better restaurants we've come to on our entire
trip so if you come double soon got to come here so right now guys that we are
eating at a place called novena they specialize in pastries and cakes but for
lunch they also had pizzas on the menu yeah I had a Patagonian pizza and we're
like mm that is interesting yeah so we
decided to order it it has mozzarella cheese cooked ham bacon fried eggs for
fried eggs my super cheesy on my plate how's it with the egg okay nice I like
it's just really unusual toppings for a pizza like hence the Patagonian beat
though I don't think I've ever had fried eggs on a pizza before we're like big
strips of bacon and we are so hungry after I doing all morning along yep
planning to get dessert we are why I'm here Sam is going in with or without a
these pieces are so thick it's like wait I left this up yo hands dirty look at
the size of that it's big chunks of bacon music Sam likes to eat pizza with
his hands forget colouring work needs coloring
that's Jesus all right in the fighting that she is giving the matzah a little
stretch is amazing that's my cave man that's the cave man
for you that's the man you married but Baker there's some small detail such as
it picks up yeah but like we came here for the desserts but we've been
pleasantly surprised by their manes oh my it is officially dessert time it sure
so what do you got of it chocolate sponge cooked in double filling
chocolate shavings like a three boys and what you got yourself over there that
looks pretty magical I'm so excited to try this piercers actually like maybe
kind of like a fruit glaze on top the coconut sugar glaze and there's layer of
cake which is a thick of dense cake but coconut really weighs it down it's more
like a tart like coconut yes it's like I can see what my piece is
so much simpler than your there's so much so dense then the dull side that I
see all that coconut it's a really decadent guys feel like we're gonna be
in a food coma all this sugar no idea coma I'm like falling asleep cause it's
so good
well guys the food has arrived and what can I say
number one tip if you're eating out in Argentina you probably got one name and
share with two people because horses are just massive
especially the polygon where they're known for the big portions look at that
it's filling out so we got the milanesa I'll bullion which is their specialty
I'm not going to get the supremo but a mod which is basically chicken breast
that's been like breaded and fried and this one has tomato sauce mozzarella
and this is just like of the meal on top of Puri and because we didn't realize
it's gonna be that big so these ones are meat we're still gonna get dessert
that's the plan I mean we'll see how we feel
the tapas I am in cheese I forgot they have meat or ham and cheese we ended up
choosing the ham and cheese ones look about she's oozing out
Bheema rising is lot try not to burn I'd
like rolled up to him that's how that's that's what good empanadas are like
they're always stuff to the max this is lovely
appetizers wonderful I can't wait to dig into the main it's gonna be good
guys check out my Fred Flintstone portion this is literally the half
portion if this was the whole thing you can imagine them you know they should be
spilling out over the plate yeah I remember your dad telling telling NASA
is were the best kinds of Milanese as you go to the phones now so big that the
plate can't even contain it yeah spills out over exactly I keep going into
milliliter but it is a supremo yo should get with chicken yeah let me know news
but it's usually veal yeah so I'm grabbing a piece here bacon and then a
little bit of a yeah oh yeah tomato sauce and cheese to them some peeps
ingredients they always blow I just love this kind of food buddy this is like
party Argentine food to the max the kind of food that you eat when you're hungry
or I mean it's a hot day today it would be perfect for the hall yeah it's a
little cooler hmm and this pumpkin mash goes really
nicely with it so light kind of balances things out of
it well how was that meal oh it was great
I feel like a beached whale other moment
my belly is so full we ate so much yesterday so it's just like an
accumulation of yesterday's overeating and then another big meal today yeah I
do feel very satisfied the portions were huge great price - yeah only fourteen US
dollars seven per person yeah we had a lot of bread we had really good
empanadas no I'll go have this shine never yeah I was like you know no
alcohol no dessert either and so but you know what we are going for dessert right
