Food, Drink shopping in Argentina

  1. A

    El Tonel Kiosko

    For a funky good time, check out the second-largest wine barrel in Argentina; it's at the kiosk just across the Puente Viejo. Take a gander at the goods inside, or sit down for coffee or mate, but don't expect a traditional café or many tables; it's a very eclectic place run by an odd couple.

    La Mexicana

    Bariloche’s first chocolate store, started by the Ritter family in 1948, still produces delicious chocolates and fine dulces (jams). It’s still owned by the same family, though the cocoa beans are no longer imported from Mexico, but from Ecuador and Brazil.

    Carrefour

    Unless you are looking for a very obscure top of the range bottle (or a sales assistant who knows what they’re talking about), the best place to buy wine in town, in terms of price and variety, is the supermarket Carrefour.

    La Olla de Cobre

    If you’re looking for a gift of artisanal chocolates or alfajores (cookie-type sandwiches), try La Olla de Cobre. You can sit down for a coffee or drinking chocolate as well.

  5. La Bombonerie

    For those with a sweet tooth, head for La Bombonerie, not far from the tourist office; if you get out of this place without a bag of chocolates, then you did better than most.

    Abuela Goye

    Bariloche’s long-time chocolate makers. Still small and still worth trying.

    Mamuschka

    Quite simply, the best chocolate in Bariloche. Don’t skip it. Seriously.

    Benroth

    In our humble opinion, the best one after Mamuschka. Definitely try it.
