A
Patio de la Empanada
It’s a toss-up between Salta and Tucumán for Argentina’s best empanadas, but they’re wickedly toothsome in both places. Locals debate the merits of fried (in an iron skillet – juicier) or baked (in a clay oven – tastier). Numerous places specialize in them, including the peñas. The taxi drivers’ favorite is Patio de la Empanada, where various stalls surround an indoor-outdoor eating area; a dozen will set you back AR$15.

B
Café del Tiempo
Decked out to resemble a Buenos Aires cafe, this has prices to match but offers a stylish terrace in the heart of the Balcarce zone; a top spot for a drink. There’s some sort of performance or live music every night. Most of the dishes – including international offerings such as chop suey, sushi and ceviche – are designed to share, and the picadas (shared appetizer plates) are great for a group.

C
El Solar del Convento
Warmly decorated and popular, this reliable touristy choice offers solicitous service – the free apéritif wins points – and a varied menu. It specializes in lomo (sirloin) with tasty sauces, and also has fish dishes and parrillada (mixed grill including steak) options. The wine list offers lots of (priced-up) provincial choices.

Portezuelo Restaurant
On a sunny day there's no better place to be than on the balcony of this restaurant in the Portezuelo Hotel, enjoying some of the best views in Salta. The food is well prepared, with welcome Mediterranean touches such as sun-dried tomatoes and calamari salad, and the service is excellent.
