Kosher McDonald's

I wouldn't ordinarily advise a traveler to eat at McDonald's on vacation, but this location is clearly unique: it's the only kosher McDonald's in the world outside of Israel, underscoring Buenos Aires's reputation as one of the world's great 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, and the meat is charcoal-grilled, rather than fried. They also sell souvenir mugs and other items to bring home. Locals of all kinds, Jewish or not, patronize the place. If you only came to gawk but still end up craving a Big Mac without cheese, a total kosher no-no, fret not: You're 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.
