El Viejo Almacén

Iguazú Falls & the Northeast


A block from the plaza and offering a quiet, brick-walled interior decorated with old-time photos, this has a wide-ranging menu including great homemade pasta, delicious empanadas, river fish and parrilla options. Portions aren’t as big as in some places – probably a good thing – but prices are right and vegetables come from their organic garden.

Offers soy milanesas and other veg options.
