  • 21. Macacha Gourmet

    $$

    A 100-year-old converted school building houses one of Cafayate's more ambitious restaurants. Overseen by the friendly owner Matías, it has three dining rooms themed after the Nanni, Domingo Hermanos, and Etchart bodegas, with wine displays and special cutlery. The decoration is from all around the world, but the food is strictly local—llama, quinoa, rabbit, kid, and Andean potatoes feature prominently on the menu. A convivial wine bar stays open late to serve vino from every bodega in town. There's live music and dancing some weekends.

  • 22. Manos Jujeñas

    $$

    Ponchos on the walls, old paintings, native artifacts, stucco archways, and Andean background music are clues that this might be one of the best places to sample authentic Northwestern cuisine. Try the locro: a stew of maize, white beans, beef, chorizo, pancetta, and a wonderful red pepper–oil glaze, all of which come together in a mélange of savory, starchy flavors.  Ask for a table at the back for a more authentic and less hurried dining experience.

    Senador Pérez 379, San Salvador de Jujuy, Jujuy, 4600, Argentina
    388-424–3270

    Known For

    • Traditional dishes
    • Busy atmosphere drawing locals
    • Great place to try locro

  • 23. Pan de Azucár

    $$

    For jujeña classics with an eclectic twist, head to Pan de Azucár, where an ample menu offers original concoctions of the local staple, llama—think curry, carpaccio, grilled fillet, or stuffed in ravioli. House specialties also include quinoa, pork, and pasta.

    Senador Perez 110, San Salvador de Jujuy, Jujuy, 4600, Argentina
    388-423–2392

    Known For

    • Regional ingredients
    • Relaxed ambience
    • Llama dishes

  • 24. Peña y Parrillada de la Plaza

    $$

    This place makes the list for its music rather than its food—though the barbecued meats and empanadas are good deals. Singers, musicians, and sometimes dancers bring Peña y Parrillada de la Plaza to life each night.

    Nuestra Señora del Rosario 96, Cafayate, Salta, 4427, Argentina
    3868-421–043

    Known For

    • Live music
    • Traditional northwestern dishes
    • Fun atmosphere
  • 25. Yacón

    $$

    The warm service, wooden tables and chairs, cane roof, and stone walls all suggest tradition. Yet Yacón's kitchen shows some innovation by serving up llama meat on skewers and a shepherd's pie made with quinoa. It's just a block from the main square, and doubles as a cute lodging as well.

    Rivadavia 222, Tilcara, Jujuy, 4624, Argentina
    388-495–5611

    Known For

    • Friendly service
    • Llama dishes
    • Handy central location
