This is an excellent blog, very informative. I am actually staying here in Barrio Palermo, Buenos Aires and was looking for soy milk in Jumbo but no luck there. Thanks to your blog, now I know where to go. Gracias!

Thanks for the tips! On my way to BA in a couple of months, so this will come in very handy. I’ll post what I find on my site.

Thank you for your great blog, and the tip about getting vegan groceries at Casa Chino. We have been there twice now, and it is a great store. That is the only place in Buenos Aires where we have been able to find buckwheat flour (harina de trigo sarraceno). They also seem to carry whole buckwheat, but did not have it in stock when we were there.

Also, for those vegans in BA who may be searching for nutritional yeast, it is called “levadura de cerveza” here. However, that term seems to include nutritional yeast (as we know it in the US) and brewer’s yeast. The levadura de cerveza we bought at Casa China was somewhat bitter, like brewer’s yeast, but we tried a brand of levadura de cerveza called Virgen found at dieteticas, and that tastes like nutritional yeast to us. Nutritional yeast is a critical ingredient for some of our favorite vegan recipes.

Hahaha… great article. I was living in Buenos Aires as a vegan for a year on 2009/early 2010… There are quite a few vegan spots I think you missed out on— pura vida (for wraps)… Bohdi (amazing vegan / vegetarian buffet), and there are also few mexican spots… Thanks so much for sharing this. I’m actually headed back there in a month. Salud!!

Excellent article, sometimes foreigners have better knowledge than locals! I’ve been a veggie for almost two years but now I’m trying to go vegan and discovering new things. I’m happy to see the city getting more vegan options: yesterday I went to the opening of a new venue of Kensho, a place I adore. If you’re still here you need to go. And not mentioned here is Casa de Oshawa, their bakery is amazing! Egg and dairy free and they only use brown flour and natural sweeteners, though do ask bc I think some items have honey. cheers!

A good thing to eat in Buenos Aires is the delicious Faina, you can find it in most supermarkets as a floor to mix wit water and spices and bake it, or in the pizza places, like Guerrin (Av. Corrientes 1368 – They also has two vegan pizzas Pomodoro and Fugazza)

BTW, great blog, it’s always nice when you can have some help on vegan eating in travels.
