Buenos Aires is known for its architecture, street art, and many theaters—not to mention that it’s referred to by many as the “birthplace of tango.” But did you know that on the streets of San Telmo, Palermo, and Recoleta you can find numerous vegan-friendly restaurants? It’s true—if you’re traveling to Argentina’s capital, you’ll find plenty of delicious vegan options. By supporting these businesses, you’ll prevent cows, pigs, and chickens from ending up on your plate.
Check out this handy vegan Buenos Aires dining guide:
