Shitake

Salta & the Andean Northwest


With a tasty array of vegetarian dishes in its buffet (lentils, stir-fried vegetables and soy-based meats, roasted potatoes, quiches, pizzas and more), this small, well-run spot gives value for money. Drinks are extra, but dessert is part of the package. You can also take out, paying by weight. It has a second location further down the street.
