Moveable Feasts is a weekly agenda in which our food writer Tamx Rivas gives us the low-down on this week’s food fairs, workshops, and pop-ups in Buenos Aires.
With the cold taking over, it’s harder to get out of bed every morning. The only thing that keeps me going after work is food, as usual. Don’t worry people I have the ultimate list for your foodie adventures! Put on a scarf and head out to the streets, for these are great opportunities to get your face stuffed with the finest meals!

Would you consider yourself a Japanese food lover? I know I would.

East Germany’s Food
This Saturday, Extrawurst is bringing to the table a little culture we may not know that much: Germany’s food before the Wall fell. As a celebration of this and a reminder of what happened before, the menu consists of Eastern German dishes. Don’t forget they also serve the most delicious beer, they know their craft. I strongly suggest you try it out!

Who doesn’t like Arepas?
I dare you to name someone who doesn’t like a good arepa. Head down to Al Grano Espresso Bar this Saturday to get your fill or accompany that one friend (me) who loves them. They’ll be offering a huge variety of arepas and traditional Venezuelan drinks and pastries. You won’t want to miss it.
12–21:00 hrs.| Al Grano Espresso Bar | Virrey Avilés 3895 | Villa Ortuzar

Masa Monday
Is it Monday yet? I need my weekly taco fix! If you do as well, head down to Banquito Rojo, where Masa awaits with their weekly pop-up. If you’re reading this on Thursday 09/05 don’t miss out on their pop-up at Faraday Bar today! (Bulnes 2022 – starting 19 hs). If you couldn’t make it on Thursday or Monday, don’t worry! You can also find them at Dellepiane Bar on Tuesdays. The menu changes every pop-up, so don’t miss out on their spectacular Mexican dishes!

TUES 14/05
Wine Meets Chocolate
Are you longing to have some wine? What about chocolate? This tasting combines the two things we love the most: eating and drinking. Is it just me or is this the perfect season to roll ourselves up in a blanket and have some wine and chocolate? If you agree, head down to Wining, where they’ll taste four different wines and chocolates. Get your ticket through Fusión Vino y Chocolate ($350 per person).
19:30 – 22:30 hrs. | Wining | Gurruchaga 1060 | Villa Crespo

Sushi to Surprise Workshop
Do you like sushi, but feel it’s overpriced and that you could make something much better?
