Vegetables or Cows: Embracing Vegetarian Living in Argentina
Summary
Argentina is known for its meat-centric culture, which can be daunting for vegetarians. As a dedicated vegetarian who includes dairy in my diet, I was apprehensive about moving to Argentina and facing limited food options. I feared subsisting on fried cheese and pizza, possibly losing nutrients and gaining weight. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the vibrant vegetarian scene in Buenos Aires.Exploring Vegetarian Options
Argentina is recognized worldwide for its meat dishes, but the vegetarian scene is thriving, especially in Buenos Aires. While the number of vegetarians here may not rival the USA, there are plenty of places to enjoy healthy and delicious vegetarian meals.
Top Vegetarian-Friendly Restaurants
1. Pura Vida Restaurant
Located at Uriburu 1489 and Pena, you'll find Pura Vida under its bright orange awning. This juice bar, opened by expats from the U.S., offers soups, sandwiches, and salads. One owner is a strict raw foodist, while the other is vegan. Their smoothies, like the "Strawberry Fields Forever" with banana, blueberry, and apple juice, are a must-try.
2. California Burrito Company
This restaurant in Microcentro at Lavalle 441 and San Martin, established by three American expats, isn't strictly vegetarian but offers fantastic options. With an assembly line approach, you can create up to 15,000 combinations for fajitas, burritos, or tacos. Vegetarians can choose from pinto or black beans, salsas, spicy mole, guacamole, and vegetables?"all for under $20 AR.
3. Verde Llama
In the Collegiales neighborhood at Jorge Newbery 3623, Verde Llama specializes in raw foods. Run by Diego, a passionate advocate of the "life foods philosophy," it offers a menu of salads, lasagna, coconut curry, and more, with no cooking involved. Diego also conducts raw food preparation classes, and the restaurant's bakery items are a treat.
Cooking at Home
Preparing vegetarian meals at home is not only easier but also more cost-effective. Supermarkets like Jumbo in Palermo are great for finding staples like vegetables and soy sauce. For more variety, head to Barrio Chino in Belgrano, where you can find soy milk, baked tofu, vegetarian sushi, and an abundance of fruits and vegetables.
Expanding Options
While certain products like coconut oil and sesame milk aren't easily available, many expatriates are finding creative solutions, such as making their own almond or sesame milk. With the growing demand for vegetarian products, there’s a clear opportunity for market expansion in Buenos Aires.
Conclusion
Argentina may be known as a land of carnivores, but it’s also becoming a welcoming place for vegetarians. As more people open restaurants and markets catering to vegetarian lifestyles, the demand will only increase, potentially making Argentina a future hub for vegetarian living.
