  1. A

    La Vieja Casona

    Cheerfully lit and decorated, this is a cracking place with a great range of regional specialties, creative house choices and a long menu of standard Argentine dishes – the parrillada here is of excellent standard. There’s a fair selection of La Rioja wines, too, and wonderful smells wafting from the busy kitchen.

    Café del Paseo

    This is your spot on the corner of Plaza 25 de Mayo to observe La Rioja life. The cell-phone clique mingles with families and tables of older men chewing the fat over another slow-paced La Rioja day. It’s a fine place to try Argentina’s favorite mixed drink – Fernet Branca with cola.

    El Marqués

    No surprises are on the menu here at this simple but effective local eatery. Pasta, pizza, omelets and grilled meats are well prepared and fairly priced. The fruit licuados are delicious.

    La Aldea de la Virgen de Luján

    Though serving good-value breakfasts and a fairly predictable range of dinner options, lunchtime is the place to be at this spot, when it offers a good range of regional specialties.

    Tomato

    Chunky lomitos and decent pizza and pasta with big flatscreen TVs and outdoor seating make this a popular choice near the plaza. There’s good cheap Rioja wine on hand, too.
