After the tasty red wine and empanadas we went for an evening stroll through Recoleta.

The Alvear Palace Hotel on Avenida Alvear. Buenos Aires' first luxury hotel opened in 1932 and has rooms starting from $350 per night.


Rambo Antiques. Recoleta is one of the most affluent neighborhoods in the city and with all the luxury stores and Parisian style architecture it definitely seemed it.


Outside our next stop, Clarks Steak House on Calle Junin.


A traditional Argentinian restaurant with quite a colourful and eclectic decor.


We chatted with Jorge about our plans for our stay in Argentina. He had worked in the tourism industry for most of his life and gave us a few tips for the next few days.


Another Argentinian red wine from Mendoza to start.


This time a 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon


The waiter preparing our barbecued provoleta cheese. An Argentine variant of provolone, it is often eaten at the start of an asado (Argentinian barbecue) before the grilled meat,


Served together with some morcilla (blood sausage).


Our grilled meat and vegetables, fresh from the barbecue.


A good fix of Argentinian beef!
