Restaurants in Córdoba

  1. A

    El Arrabal

    One of the few old-style restaurants in Nueva Córdoba (OK, so it may be a reconstruction…), this place serves slightly pricey but imaginative regional and house specialties. It packs out for the dinner tango show (AR$20) at 11pm Thursday to Saturday. Make a reservation.

    La Nieta

    The wonderful staff prepares and serves a changing menu of delectable regional specialties, creative pastas and house recipes. Be sure to save room for dessert. Check out the lovely upstairs terrace, which catches breezes and gives ample people- watching ops on the street below.

    Las Rías de Galicia

    An upscale Spanish restaurant with the best-value set lunch in town. Going à la carte gets you all sorts of goodies, including some excellent seafood selections.

    La Zete

    Adorned with posters from Syria and Lebanon, this Middle Eastern restaurant is the real deal, with delicious kepe (spiced minced meat), fried eggplant and a range of dips, among other temptations. The ample picada (sampler plate) for two is a journey in deliciousness.

    Bar San Carlos

    Neighborhood parrillas (steak restaurants) are fast disappearing in Córdoba, but the San Carlos is one of the best, and still hanging in there. Get here reasonably early and beat the old guys out of a table on the small shady plaza.

    Alcorta

    This upmarket parrilla, esteemed for its grilled meats (many say they’re the best in town), also serves delicious pasta and fish. Try the mollejitas al sauvignon blanc (sweetbreads in a white wine sauce).

    El Ruedo

    It doesn’t stray too far from the steak, sandwich and pizza formula here, but the plaza-side spot under big shady trees is a winner, as are the limonadas con soda (lemon juice with soda water) on a hot day.

    Alfonsina

    Slip into this laid-back bar-cum-pizzeria for great atmosphere and outstanding pizzas. Decorations are as eclectic as the crowd, and folks sit for hours smoking and talking. Great place to try mate.

    Qa’ra

    Excellent Middle Eastern food provides a welcome dash of variety. The pretty courtyard is the place to be on a sunny day and the picada (sample plate) for two (AR$30) is a journey in deliciousness.

    Mandarina

    Decent Chinese dishes and tasty pizzas and pastas are all cooked with flare at this cozy hideaway with tables out on the pedestrian mall. Take a break from the meat and try one of the delicious salads.

    La Parrilla de Raul

    Of Córdoba’s parrillas, this is probably one of the most famous. Parrillada (mixed grill) for two costs only AR$40, not including extras such as drinks or salad.

    Mega Doner

    Conveniently located in Nueva Córdoba’s bar district, this place specializes in real giro doners. Daily lunch specials are an excellent deal and there’s outdoor seating.

    The country's largest tenedor libre (all-you-can-eat restaurant) serves a mind-boggling array of international cuisine alongside a fake waterfall and indoor river.

    Bursatil

    Stylish, modern cafes are starting to pop up in the old part of town, and Bursatil is one of the finest. There’s a cool modern interior, good coffee and a small, Asian-inspired menu.

    Sushi Club

    Sushi in Córdoba? Well, why not? The surroundings are hip, the prices reasonable and the wasabi hit is the real deal.

    La Alameda

    Pull up a bench and wash down your homemade empanadas with some ice-cold beer. Then write some graffiti on the wall.

    Rustic and wonderfully atmospheric, run by three cranky but adorable señoras.

    Novecento

    There are few more atmospheric options for dining downtown than this cute little cafe-restaurant, set in the courtyard of the historic cabildo building. The menu ticks all the ‘classic’ boxes and throws in a few welcome surprises.

    Mercado Norte

    Córdoba’s indoor market has delicious and inexpensive food, such as pizza, empanadas and seafood. Browsing the clean stalls selling every imaginable cut of meat, including whole chivitos (goat) and pigs, is a must.

    La Zeta

    Excellent Middle Eastern food (with a couple of Mediterranean faves thrown in) provides a welcome dash of variety. There’s not much to be said for the decor, but the flavors more than make up for that.

    Bar Yoly

    Neighborhood parrillas (steak restaurants) are fast disappearing in Córdoba, but the Yoly is one of the best, and still hanging in there. Get here reasonably early and beat the old guys out of a table on the small shady plaza.
