Green Life
A downtown Buenos Aires institution, pile your plate at this vegetarian pay-by-weight buffet where the roasted veg, crisp salads and fresh fruit spread deliver a genuinely satisfying meal for under US$4; just ask staff to flag the plant-based options.
What to order
- 1 roasted seasonal vegetables
- 2 fresh fruit selection
- 3 house salads
Insider tip
Go at off-peak hours (before noon or after 2pm) when the buffet has just been refreshed, the turnover is high at lunch rush and some trays can sit. Ask a staff member to walk you through which dishes are vegan before you load up, since egg- and dairy-based items sit alongside the plant-based ones with no obvious labelling. Taking away saves you the 10% dine-in surcharge if you're happy eating on the go.
The area
Palermo is the most restaurant-dense neighbourhood in the city, Palermo Soho and Hollywood have a place on every block worth considering, and a few that are worth crossing the city for.
