According to sources, on July 13, 2026, the highly anticipated results of the Michelin Guide 2026 for Argentina were announced. This is a world-renowned recognition that distinguishes the best culinary establishments on the planet, bringing international attention to local gastronomy.
The great joy of the night came with the announcement of four restaurants that obtained their first coveted star, consolidating local cuisine on the world map of fine dining.
For international context, Buenos Aires is the vibrant capital city of Argentina, while Mendoza is the country's most famous wine-producing region at the foothills of the Andes mountains.
The restaurant Aramburu, located in the Recoleta neighborhood (an elegant district in Buenos Aires known for its French-style architecture and cultural centers), proved why it is one of the temples of national cuisine and maintained its two stars, reaffirming its culinary excellence and consistency.
The Michelin Guide 2026 highlighted a total of 89 establishments throughout the country. For those unfamiliar with the terminology, a Bib Gourmand is an award given to restaurants that offer excellent quality food at a reasonable price, while 'Recommended' spots are highly quality places to visit. The breakdown of the awards is as follows:
| Category | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Starred Restaurants | 14 (1 with 2 stars and 13 with 1 star) |
| Bib Gourmand | 11 (includes 2 new ones: Chuchú and Garabato Bistro) |
| Recommended | 64 (with 13 new additions) |
| Total Cited Establishments | 89 |
The guide also delivered special mentions to highlight the work of professionals who make the magic possible in every service. The winners were:
One of the most notable trends of this edition is the strong focus on fire, embers, wines, and national products. Argentine cuisine returns to its roots to show the world the richness of its raw materials—like its famous beef and Malbec wine—and the talent of its chefs to transform them into works of art.
