The idea of bodegón is usually used in Argentina to refer specifically to a gastronomic establishment whose menu consists of traditional dishes at affordable prices. These places do not stand out for their sophistication or elegance, but their main attraction is the quality of the food.
These bodegones are characteristic of the City of Buenos Aires. They usually offer a classic menu, with recipes with many decades of history. Milanesas, omelettes, omelets, omelettes and stews are a must in this kind of places.
Bodegones to visit in Buenos Aires
EL OBRERO
About sixty years ago, in the industrial neighborhood of La Boca, El Obrero was founded. This place of meals was born as a restaurant whose customers were the factory workers. Of course, its name is a tribute to those who filled its tables every day.
At that time it offered only four dishes that stood out for being abundant and cheap. The place began to transcend beyond the neighborhood and diners from other places began to arrive, even families.
