Bio
So your better half’s a devoted carnivore but you’re dying for green cuisine? Don’t drag them kicking and screaming to an extreme organic eatery, just take them to Bio for fantastically fresh pastas and salads. The homemade ginger lemonade is heavenly.

La Esquina de Las Flores
One of BA’s most enduring vegetarian alternatives, this modern restaurant also has a small health food store on the ground floor that sells soy flour, whole-wheat breads and organic mate (tea), among other things. There’s a small fast-food section, but if you prefer more relaxed surroundings, go upstairs and choose from the tasty and nutritious menu. There’s even a dish for macrobiotics. There’s another branch at Gurruchaga 1630 in Palermo, where free workshops on healthy cooking are occasionally available.

Arte Sano
This small, bright and pleasant health-food eatery cooks up excellent dishes, such as a zucchini, eggplant and tomato tart, soy burgers and veggie stir-fry. Desserts are good for the body, like the yogurt with granola or fruit salad. The tiny bakery attached sells things like brown rice, powdered ginger and whole-wheat breads. Also on offer are yoga, tai chi and dance classes, along with natural food workshops (for more info, see www.artesano-naturista.com.ar).

Verdellama
Some might find it hard to believe that steak-obsessed Buenos Aires has produced its first vegetarian, organic and raw food restaurant, but it was just a matter of time. Well-prepared ‘spaghetti’ (shredded zucchini), sliced vegetable salads and a beet soup with almond milk are sound and tasty choices, while the excellent licuados (fruit shakes) can be amended with spirulina or a wheatgrass shot. The desserts are surprisingly good as well. Except for chapatti bread, nothing served here has been cooked over 40°C.

Lotos
Right next door to La Esquina de las Flores is this equally renowned vegetarian spot. It’s cafeteria-style, so just point at whatever looks good. Choices include delicious, healthy soups, extensive salad ingredients and filling main dishes. In the basement is a good health food store (open 8:30am to 8pm Monday to Friday, to 4pm Saturday), where dry noodles, fresh-baked breads, organic tea, whole grains, herbal remedies and fresh tofu await your inspection.

La Huerta
Here’s one of the Microcentro’s noncarnivore meccas, attracting health-conscious businessfolk at midday. It offers up a buffet full of vegetarian pasta, pizza, empanadas (vegetable pie), omelets, tarts, breaded eggplant and squash stew, along with plenty of salad ingredients and healthy juices. It’s on the 2nd floor, with an efficient and spartan atmosphere that won’t win any prizes for decor.

Granix
Stepping into this large, modern lacto-ovo-vegetarian eatery will make you wonder if porteños have had enough steak already. Pick from the many hot appetizers and mains; there’s also a great salad bar and plenty of desserts. It’s only open for weekday lunches, and located in a shopping mall. Takeout is available.

Pura Vida
Wheatgrass shots, anyone? This sleek and uber-healthy eatery helps counteract the effects of the high cholesterol porteño diet. Try the grilled chicken sandwich with mango and cilantro or the avocado citrus salad – you’ll feel less guilty when you’re indulging in a steak and a half-liter of Malbec later on.

Artemisia
The homey, vegetarian-friendly Artemisia is ideal for a low-key dinner of freshly baked brown bread, inventive tapas like zucchini bruschetta and mini caprese skewers, and heart-healthy wok dishes.
