Description:
In a nation where meat reigns supreme, finding an organic vegetarian restaurant is nearly impossible. Bio, opened in 2002, is the exception. The "meat" is made on the premises from wheat, then marinated to add more flavor, making for an elevated, tasty variation on a hamburger. All the ingredients are organic, grown or produced strictly in Argentina. Piles of organic cheese line the counters near the chefs, who explain the processes by which they work. Quinoa, the ancient Incan grain, is used in many dishes, some described as Mediterranean-Asian fusion. Try the quinoa risotto, one of the restaurant's specialties, though everything here is simply delicious and fresh. A small shop sells organic chips, teas, cheeses, and even organic wine, and it's a great place for veg-heads to buy snacks. You can also get takeout -- a delight if you want to bring something home with you.
