Vegetarian Restaurants
It's not impossible to be a vegetarian in Buenos Aires, but it's not easy. There are a few vegetarian restaurants, but only a few, and most platos del dia at cheaper restaurants include meat of some variety. Nonetheless, the situation is not as desperate as it might seem. Large salads with a healthy mix of ingredients are not too difficult to find on any menu and it's not unusual to come across milanesas de soja (breaded and fried soya); a la napolitana means it comes with cheese and tomato. Pasta al pesto or al fileto (with tomato sauce) is another possibility - also note that the stuffed pasta which is so popular in Argentina is more often filled with vegetarian options such as spinach, nuts and ricotta cheese than meat. Buenos Aires' trilogy of favourite pizzas, napolitana (with fresh tomato), muzzarella (mozzarella cheese and tomato) and fugazza (with onions), are meat free, as is the classic accompaniment, faina , a pizza-shaped Genovese speciality made with chickpea dough, whose fairly bland but agreeable flavour is a surprisingly good complement to the more assertive pizza. Another standby is tarta de acelga or espinacas (spinach tart) and tortilla espanola (omelette with potato and onion). You needn't miss out on empanadas either; try queso y cebolla (cheese and onion) or humita (sweetcorn). If you do find yourself faced with a particularly meaty menu, it's always worth asking if the restaurant can fix you something else - Porteno waiters are generally amenable and used to dealing with fairly demanding customers. Of Buenos Aires'few dedicated vegetarian restaurants , two of the most established are La Esquina de las Flores and Ying-Yang .
