Posadas is a delicious stop for food lovers, with a culinary scene influenced by Argentina’s traditions and the neighboring Paraguayan and Brazilian cultures. Thanks to its location along the Paraná River, fresh river fish is a must-try. Dishes like surubí a la parrilla (grilled catfish) or pacú a la parrilla are local favorites, often served with salads or mandioca (cassava), a staple in the region.

Street food and snacks are also part of Posadas’ charm. You’ll find plenty of stands selling chipá, the famous cheesy cassava bread, which makes a perfect breakfast or afternoon snack. Mbejú, another traditional Paraguayan-style dish, is a thick, cheesy pancake made with cassava flour — perfect with a cup of yerba mate, the iconic local drink.

If you have a sweet tooth, try mbeyú de almidón or torta negra misionera, a sweet bread with caramelized sugar on top. Ice cream shops are popular in the hot climate, and many offer tropical fruit flavors like maracuyá (passion fruit) or mango.

For a full dining experience, Posadas has parrillas (grill restaurants) where you can enjoy Argentina’s famous beef cuts, from juicy bife de chorizo to tender vacío. Pair your meal with a glass of Malbec or Torrontés wine for the perfect Argentine dinner.
