Café Pigalle
If you want to blend in in Tucumán, you'd better have an ice cream in your hand at all times. This place on the plaza does some of the best, and also offers a daily dessert special that is usually extremely sweet and sticky and good.
-
El Alto de la Lechuza
Founded in 1939 and billing itself as Argentina's oldest peña , this place offers the standard parrilla and pasta fare as well as a few regional specialties. The real reason to come here, though, is the music; the venue has hosted many Argentine luminaries.

El Portal
This rustic indoor/outdoor eatery has a tiny but perfectly formed menu, based around empanadas, locro and the like. Delicious!
-
Fon Restaurante
The lunchtime buffet at this vegetarian restaurant has mostly Chinese dishes, with a few local favorites such as ensalada rusa (Russian salad) and empanadas thrown in. It's not gourmet, but it does the job.
-
Il Postino
Pizza and pasta are served with panache in this atmospheric brick warehouse eatery. It's popular with all, and you often have to wait for a table. It's worth it; the standard (of the pizzas especially) is sky-high. It also serves various tapa-sized portions.

La Leñita
One of the best parrilla restaurants around in this part of the world, this wins few points for interior design but stands out for service and the sheer quality of the meat. Try picanha (rump steak) or the delicious mollejitas (sweetbreads). Sit strategically to avoid the air-con's arctic wind.
-
La Sirio-Libanesa
The restaurant at the Syrian-Lebanese society offers tasty Levantine cuisine that makes a welcome change of scene. There are several set menus, as well as à la carte.
-
Peña El Cardón
This historic and traditional peña gives a good idea of what these places were like before they started putting on touristy shows. There are regular cultural events, a pretty patio and delicious empanadas. It's authentic and not a tourist attraction; tread sensitively.
