A new generation of chefs is redefining what Argentine cuisine can be, pushing boundaries with molecular gastronomy, celebrating Korean-Argentine fusion, and earning international recognition (including Michelin stars and Green Stars) along the way. Homegrown ingredients remains the focus, but now they're being transformed through fermentation, fire, and innovation. From intimate counter-dining experiences to theatrical tasting menus, Buenos Aires has cemented its place as one of Latin America's most exciting food destinations.
From pioneers like Auguste Escoffier, the "King of Chefs and Chef of Kings," to modern-day masters like Paul Bocuse and Alain Ducasse, the French aren't only revered for gastronomy, they practically invented it. On a first-time trip to Paris, biting into the city's best baguettes and croissants is as much on the bucket list for many as a visit to the Eiffel Tower or Louvre.
