to eat in Argentina this time in the town of san martin de los andes in

northern patagonia in today's food video we'll show you that it is possible to

take a break from all the steak and pasta by highlighting some fun yet

healthy options like potato soup and shot glasses a barley bowl with shrimp

and grilled veggies and a salmon and pumpkin wrap but because old habits die

hard we're also going to take you out for some grilled steak a la pobre on top of it and

some plump ricotta ravioli and a cream and bacon sauce I mean after all we are

in Argentina will then follow this up with afternoon tea and a cozy cabin atop

a mountain where we'll feast on mini sandwiches scones with cream and jam and

all sorts of baked goods and cakes if this sounds appetizing stick around

for another edition of what to eat in Argentina well guys it's a Saturday

very peaceful quiet day to be out and about not a whole lot of people on the

streets and Asthma say maybe it's because it's still kind of early in the

day but it's not it's already past noon so that's no excuse but yeah we're just

walking on our way to a restaurant we spotted yesterday which were quite eager

to try out Philly it's open well we've arrived we've arrived the place is

called Zen tea yeah and a little bit of the menu basically it's like healthy

food options that we haven't really had in a while like we've been going really

heavy on the meats the pastas pizzas the barbeque yes

the parrilla carb and I mean Argentinian food is amazing but we were just craving

big difference when we stumbled upon this place yes very reliable must come

back yeah they have really nice salad bowls

it's quinoa and bean sprouts and just different fresh veggies and ingredients

and tofu and of all the works we didn't actually order salads though I went for

one of their woks I think it's like with a barley base stir-fry basic green

veggies and I got shrimp on mine whoo and I'm getting a salmon wrap with

pumpkin avocado and cream cheese all sound it smells pretty amazing yeah

can't wait to try it so we got a nice little appetizer in the house gonna love

that it looks like some seasoned breadsticks and then the server came

over and said this is a carrot dip with curry powder and there's some receipts

on tops yeah it's like sesame seeds thick it's kind of like a hummus

oh it's just so smooth well it's really nice it's just light guys we just got a

shot of soup again complimentary not amazing it's a potato ginger onion soup

Cheers cheers to that and it's warm it is warm that's one

thing that surprised me when I grab a little shot glass it's like mmm

I thought it was gonna be like a spa choked clean soup yeah what they you I

love potato soup I haven't had it in years

but it's just so nice so I'm kind of like a chill day like today and again

Jeon sesame seeds over top I'm very very nice I can't wait for the main steer

eggplant carrots I'm soul good wonderful we got really

like to find a nice place yeah we just wondered as we were heading up to the to

the leaked yesterday so I really saw the menu where they better try this place

plump juicy I'm so pumped for this wrap it scent has salmon mm-hmm you call that

salmon there's a bit of Reem cheese there's pumpkin there's a little bit of

Sookie mixed in there too oh it's wonderful they had so many

nice-looking wraps on the menu it was hard to thing there's just so much

there yeah so tender flavorful still nice having it with the pumpkin mash

yeah delicious and you also got a bit of a sign there they give you some potatoes

with the rosemary done they look good top of that hmm I love how they've done

the wrap to it it's like it's just been grilled lightly on the outside it's like

got a toastiness to it mm-hmm our dishes had fish and seafood but as

an FYI this restaurant has vegetarian vegan and gluten-free options that was

such a good lunch so nice to be eating like healthy meals

that we definitely want to go back there and the staff were so friendly and so

chatty and excellent service so the total was nine hundred and ten pesos

which would be 21 US dollars for those two mains and then while the two

complimentary items we got as well so yeah we definitely recommend it if

you're here in town and you've been having too much pizza too much steak

they're called Zen tea and yeah we're ready to explore

the town now we are now walking towards the water towards the lake and when we

were here yesterday we noticed that they have a lot of food trucks so maybe

that's where we can get our little dessert for dessert oh there's plenty of

room

ice cream time three flavors yes this portion they had the largest portion

they had so this is what the forest berries know the strawberry with

children baby with chocolate and that was my selection mmm oh it's got such a

nice natural strawberry taste yeah with real chunks of fruit in there it's

amazing guys this is Bailey's baby presenting

Ireland here it tastes like they really taste like like literal Bailey's yeah

I've been used and then also de leche extreme oh that's gonna have a hopefully

a strong taste oh yeah it's got a nice cool yeah

what is extreme and yeah this is like artisanal homemade handmade delicious

wonderful ice cream gotta try we're raped by the lake oh boy is it ever

windy so in colleges up the audios a little off

now for something a little more hearty and filling pasta and steak

- classic staples of the Argentine diet of our argentinian food tour the food has arrived it looks amazing

the means aren't here I went for ravioli mmm

stuffed with ricotta in a cream sauce with ham chicken walnuts it's really

good thing is I've been sneaking bites while Sam is filming so that's Audrey's

dirty secret I already know I'm always eating behind the scenes yeah and salut

we've got them all back from Norton this one is called a veto which means chosen

yeah take a look guys and I love the presentation they made a little rose out

of carrots you know what I've already decided I want to get dessert here -

this place is so good whoa yeah well like these are big dishes I know but we

have a big hike tomorrow so so Sam thought though yes I got the beef a

chorizo a la pobre yeah which means with an egg and you're caramelizing it comes

with a salsa criolla salsa mm-hmm so I put a little bit of that right on top

was the egg technically a la pobre means pour like the fourth style but it's not

very poor because it's like a loaded with all these have a certain burden but

exactly so the name doesn't make a lot of sense it's very very tasty on I asked

for the meats available so yeah nice and easy

oh that's how we like it I like it I'm just gonna get a manageable piece here a

bit too big don't want to choke on it guys swim swim

how's that that's so cheesy just how I asked one solo just and the egg just

adds you know a little bit of extra flavor also has caramelized onions can't

forget that they're hidden underneath the egg so there you go delicious food I

don't get a dessert already nothing I'll get a dessert this is pure gluttony

right here that's all I can say this going on

homemade cheesecake with forest fruits nice tiny coffee it's just basically an

expresso try that first let's hope you can get some shut-eye

tonight that's nice opposed very potent mmm

raspberries on toasted it's a cheesecake that looks good oh I surreal do we see

get-go the appetizers on my wall this is a little bit beyond normal to have like

it's a nice hummus dip and I remember the bean that garlicky beating dip the

kool-aid the bread I'm like oh he's a good start and then the main just got

better it was really good so the place is called tio Farkle yeah and Sam

cottage with beautiful views of lake lacar studying the menu looking

studiously out of ammonia for doing afternoon tea with a three-tier Tower of

sandwiches scones cakes one teapot each it's gonna be good

tea has arrived guys we each get individual pots I get Isabella has a

cardamon it has cinnamon and it also has a nice three of my favorite things there

was a red pepper pour it in like this yeah so you put it in there and then you

just let it sit for two to three minutes steep steep for three minutes

color is already changing yeah and for mine I got the one that's called Frances

it means French it's a type of green tea and it smelled very fruity floral which

I like and well while the tea is being made is being steeped we've got this oh

on the bottom then big good big kids and then on top cakes

two huge slices I will have Jim and also mention of what you can't finish they

pack it up in a little box for you to people is awesome I have a feeling it is

no force at all though so of course we're starting at the bottom of our

tower with sandwiches I already grabbed this little guy nice and plump with ham

cheese tomatoes lettuce looks so good I'm very good currently

feasting on a scone it's so good nice and lemony put some cream on there

strawberry jam you know what it up so the cream came from here did you know

over there everything's been delicious so far Sam

will now be trying all things so we were each gonna select three different things

from the pastry section I'm like I thought theme of dulce de leche so I'm

like that's what I'm going for it was my favorite thing to have in Argentina and

yeah it's amazing so this is the classic am I saying that I don't think I've seen

so much dulce de leche filling right here it appears to be a chocolate one

yeah I don't think I've ever had a chocolate one yeah she ready coconut all

around I think this one might be coconut and dulce de leche

it is coconut cake village in the middle delicious mm-hmm filling tons of dulce

de leche yep coconut bread decadent and a nice crumbly chocolate the rich

chocolate taste not my all-time favorite no van-gogh not just the pasta

what's the part of this room look at that magic we were a little round for us

there we go yeah are you going strong or you three hit a wall it was real

I all three of those awful heart products they were just too good and

yeah I've had two sandwiches plus that and a lot of tea so I can hang stuff but

there's always room for cheesecake oh wait this is a very thick slab I

picked it up with my hand to transport it up suppose it's like like a brick

it's very dense um this is how Sam behaves and

restaurant yeah and so there's berries let's try it you ramble ramble just look

like cherries the dropped one on the way didn't quite make the journey so good at

tarp this is the real deal this is dick the Cheesecake how we like it full
