well hello there all you foodies today we're back at it again showing you what
to eat in Argentina this time in the town of san martin de los andes in
northern patagonia in today's food video we'll show you that it is possible to
take a break from all the steak and pasta by highlighting some fun yet
healthy options like potato soup and shot glasses a barley bowl with shrimp
and grilled veggies and a salmon and pumpkin wrap but because old habits die
hard we're also going to take you out for some grilled steak a la pobre on top of it and
some plump ricotta ravioli and a cream and bacon sauce I mean after all we are
in Argentina will then follow this up with afternoon tea and a cozy cabin atop
a mountain where we'll feast on mini sandwiches scones with cream and jam and
all sorts of baked goods and cakes if this sounds appetizing stick around
for another edition of what to eat in Argentina well guys it's a Saturday
very peaceful quiet day to be out and about not a whole lot of people on the
streets and Asthma say maybe it's because it's still kind of early in the
day but it's not it's already past noon so that's no excuse but yeah we're just
walking on our way to a restaurant we spotted yesterday which were quite eager
to try out Philly it's open well we've arrived we've arrived the place is
called Zen tea yeah and a little bit of the menu basically it's like healthy
food options that we haven't really had in a while like we've been going really
heavy on the meats the pastas pizzas the barbeque yes
the parrilla carb and I mean Argentinian food is amazing but we were just craving
big difference when we stumbled upon this place yes very reliable must come
back yeah they have really nice salad bowls
it's quinoa and bean sprouts and just different fresh veggies and ingredients
and tofu and of all the works we didn't actually order salads though I went for
one of their woks I think it's like with a barley base stir-fry basic green
veggies and I got shrimp on mine whoo and I'm getting a salmon wrap with
pumpkin avocado and cream cheese all sound it smells pretty amazing yeah
can't wait to try it so we got a nice little appetizer in the house gonna love
that it looks like some seasoned breadsticks and then the server came
over and said this is a carrot dip with curry powder and there's some receipts
on tops yeah it's like sesame seeds thick it's kind of like a hummus
oh it's just so smooth well it's really nice it's just light guys we just got a
shot of soup again complimentary not amazing it's a potato ginger onion soup
Cheers cheers to that and it's warm it is warm that's one
thing that surprised me when I grab a little shot glass it's like mmm

plump juicy I'm so pumped for this wrap it scent has salmon mm-hmm you call that
salmon there's a bit of Reem cheese there's pumpkin there's a little bit of
Sookie mixed in there too oh it's wonderful they had so many
nice-looking wraps on the menu it was hard to thing there's just so much
there yeah so tender flavorful still nice having it with the pumpkin mash
yeah delicious and you also got a bit of a sign there they give you some potatoes
with the rosemary done they look good top of that hmm I love how they've done
the wrap to it it's like it's just been grilled lightly on the outside it's like
got a toastiness to it mm-hmm our dishes had fish and seafood but as
an FYI this restaurant has vegetarian vegan and gluten-free options that was
such a good lunch so nice to be eating like healthy meals
that we definitely want to go back there and the staff were so friendly and so
chatty and excellent service so the total was nine hundred and ten pesos
which would be 21 US dollars for those two mains and then while the two
complimentary items we got as well so yeah we definitely recommend it if
you're here in town and you've been having too much pizza too much steak
they're called Zen tea and yeah we're ready to explore
the town now we are now walking towards the water towards the lake and when we
were here yesterday we noticed that they have a lot of food trucks so maybe
that's where we can get our little dessert for dessert oh there's plenty of
room
ice cream time three flavors yes this portion they had the largest portion
they had so this is what the forest berries know the strawberry with
children baby with chocolate and that was my selection mmm oh it's got such a
nice natural strawberry taste yeah with real chunks of fruit in there it's
amazing guys this is Bailey's baby presenting
Ireland here it tastes like they really taste like like literal Bailey's yeah
I've been used and then also de leche extreme oh that's gonna have a hopefully
a strong taste oh yeah it's got a nice cool yeah
what is extreme and yeah this is like artisanal homemade handmade delicious
wonderful ice cream gotta try we're raped by the lake oh boy is it ever
windy so in colleges up the audios a little off
now for something a little more hearty and filling pasta and steak
- classic staples of the Argentine diet of our argentinian food tour the food has arrived it looks amazing
the means aren't here I went for ravioli mmm
stuffed with ricotta in a cream sauce with ham chicken walnuts it's really
good thing is I've been sneaking bites while Sam is filming so that's Audrey's
dirty secret I already know I'm always eating behind the scenes yeah and salut
we've got them all back from Norton this one is called a veto which means chosen
yeah take a look guys and I love the presentation they made a little rose out
of carrots you know what I've already decided I want to get dessert here -
this place is so good whoa yeah well like these are big dishes I know but we
have a big hike tomorrow so so Sam thought though yes I got the beef a
chorizo a la pobre yeah which means with an egg and you're caramelizing it comes
with a salsa criolla salsa mm-hmm so I put a little bit of that right on top
was the egg technically a la pobre means pour like the fourth style but it's not
very poor because it's like a loaded with all these have a certain burden but
exactly so the name doesn't make a lot of sense it's very very tasty on I asked
for the meats available so yeah nice and easy
oh that's how we like it I like it I'm just gonna get a manageable piece here a
bit too big don't want to choke on it guys swim swim
how's that that's so cheesy just how I asked one solo just and the egg just
adds you know a little bit of extra flavor also has caramelized onions can't
forget that they're hidden underneath the egg so there you go delicious food I
don't get a dessert already nothing I'll get a dessert this is pure gluttony
right here that's all I can say this going on
homemade cheesecake with forest fruits nice tiny coffee it's just basically an
expresso try that first let's hope you can get some shut-eye

raspberries on toasted it's a cheesecake that looks good oh I surreal do we see

get-go the appetizers on my wall this is a little bit beyond normal to have like
it's a nice hummus dip and I remember the bean that garlicky beating dip the
kool-aid the bread I'm like oh he's a good start and then the main just got
better it was really good so the place is called tio Farkle yeah and Sam

cottage with beautiful views of lake lacar studying the menu looking
studiously out of ammonia for doing afternoon tea with a three-tier Tower of
sandwiches scones cakes one teapot each it's gonna be good
tea has arrived guys we each get individual pots I get Isabella has a
cardamon it has cinnamon and it also has a nice three of my favorite things there

just let it sit for two to three minutes steep steep for three minutes
color is already changing yeah and for mine I got the one that's called Frances
it means French it's a type of green tea and it smelled very fruity floral which
I like and well while the tea is being made is being steeped we've got this oh

on the bottom then big good big kids and then on top cakes
two huge slices I will have Jim and also mention of what you can't finish they
pack it up in a little box for you to people is awesome I have a feeling it is
no force at all though so of course we're starting at the bottom of our
tower with sandwiches I already grabbed this little guy nice and plump with ham
cheese tomatoes lettuce looks so good I'm very good currently
feasting on a scone it's so good nice and lemony put some cream on there
strawberry jam you know what it up so the cream came from here did you know
over there everything's been delicious so far Sam
will now be trying all things so we were each gonna select three different things
from the pastry section I'm like I thought theme of dulce de leche so I'm
like that's what I'm going for it was my favorite thing to have in Argentina and
yeah it's amazing so this is the classic am I saying that I don't think I've seen
so much dulce de leche filling right here it appears to be a chocolate one
yeah I don't think I've ever had a chocolate one yeah she ready coconut all
around I think this one might be coconut and dulce de leche
it is coconut cake village in the middle delicious mm-hmm filling tons of dulce
de leche yep coconut bread decadent and a nice crumbly chocolate the rich
chocolate taste not my all-time favorite no van-gogh not just the pasta
what's the part of this room look at that magic we were a little round for us
there we go yeah are you going strong or you three hit a wall it was real
I all three of those awful heart products they were just too good and
yeah I've had two sandwiches plus that and a lot of tea so I can hang stuff but
there's always room for cheesecake oh wait this is a very thick slab I
picked it up with my hand to transport it up suppose it's like like a brick
it's very dense um this is how Sam behaves and
restaurant yeah and so there's berries let's try it you ramble ramble just look
like cherries the dropped one on the way didn't quite make the journey so good at
tarp this is the real deal this is dick the Cheesecake how we like it full

third close to a half it was a lot of anyways we've got dinner here as well as
