A
El Rancho
A cut above the string of hit-and-miss places around the plaza, this has a short, simple menu, including locro and some good chicken dishes. It’s owned by a bodega, so competition wines are overpriced. It appeals on winter nights, with a crackling fire, and the nights when a blind guitarist plays unobtrusive folklórica.

Baco
Crammed full of rustic decorations, and with work by local artists on the walls, this is one of the most popular spots in town and certainly offers plenty of character. It serves up variations on Argentine standards, including tasty pasta, and has plenty of local wines to try at OK prices.

Heladería Miranda
A frequent dilemma in Argentina is whether to go for a rich red cabernet or a dry white torrontés, but it doesn’t usually occur in ice-cream parlors. It does here: the Miranda’s wine ice creams are Cafayate’s pride and joy.

Casa de las Empanadas
No-frills and pretty tasty local dishes are the reason to come to this friendly spot off the plaza. There are empanadas beyond the usual chicken or meat range, as well as humitas, locro and tamales.

El Terruño
Plaza-side seating and polite service are backed up by the food at this restaurant, which curiously has two menus, one of which is less traditional, with dishes like salmon and avocado salad, and boned lamb fillets.

Colorado
Microbrewed beers, Mexican dishes, spinach and blue cheese salad, and a Thai red curry are among the things that make this welcoming bar-restaurant a break from the norm in these parts.

La de Martín
Goat stew, local dishes and the odd llama special sit alongside reliable parrillada at this not-too-touristy place, with helpful waiters and fair prices.

Macacha
The jury's still out on this new 'gourmet' restaurant, so it's up to you to decide. There are tables in a central courtyard and in intimate dining rooms off it. The menu is French-inspired, with some Andean dishes thrown in for the tourists. The starter assortment is generous and a good way to try a variety of dishes. Order wine by the bottle not the glass.
