McDonald's Kosher

Frommer's Review

Certainly you didn't come all this way to eat at McDonald's. I wouldn't ordinarily tell a traveler to eat here on vacation, but this franchise is clearly unique: This is the only kosher McDonald's outside of Israel in the world, underscoring Buenos Aires's reputation as one of the world's greatest Jewish centers. Rabbi supervision makes sure that kosher rules are strictly followed here. It's typical McDonald's fare -- burgers, fries, salads, fish sandwiches -- except that no dairy at all is served here. They also sell souvenir mugs and other items to bring home. Locals of all kinds, Jewish or not, patronize the place. If you only come here to gawk and just can't stand a Big Mac without cheese, fret not: It's in the Abasto Shopping Center's Food Court, so all you have to do is turn around and walk to the regular McDonald's on the other side.
