A gourmet's tour of South America with Dehouche Travel

When the Michelin inspectors first visited Tokyo in 2007, the international community (well anyone who had never dined in Tokyo) was stunned when it emerged victorious as the city with the most starred restaurants in the world.

As of yet there are no Michelin guides to any of the great South American metropolises, but most visitors to cities like Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires and Lima are frequently amazed by the both the quality and sheer cosmopolitan variety of cuisine on offer.

Good food is one of life’s great pleasures and a key factor in defining the perfect holiday. While some of the most rewarding foodie encounters are often of the stumbled upon rustic variety (empanadas on the streets of Cartagena; fresh oysters in Santa Catarina; or Moqueca on the beach in Bahia spring to mind...) for the true gourmet dining experience Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires should top the list of any trip to the continent.



Purveyors of South American luxury and self-proclaimed epicures Dehouche Travel, understand all too well the importance of good restaurants in a luxury holiday and have personally made it their business to trawl the streets of their favourite destinations particularly seeking out the hidden gems that you would otherwise certainly miss on a short trip to any of these cities. Dehouche clients are armed with the fruits of this constantly ongoing mission, and are also offered personal recommendations and a booking service, whether it’s an authentic and rustic seafood shack, a tucked away romantic bistro, or the glitziest luxury restaurant in town.

This arduous research means in many cases they have become firm friends with the owners and chefs of their favorite establishments, who always welcome Dehouche clients in style, often happy to go off menu or create individual tasting menus for special occasions such as a honeymoon.

For example in Buenos Aires, Dehouche has access to several ‘puertas cerradas’ or closed door restaurants, essentially just 3 or 4 tables in the chef’s own house where some of the city’s finest and cutting edge fare is to be found, for example on a luxury honeymoon they will often arrange for a celebrated chef to prepare a meal (with fantastic wine pairings as well) just for one couple – the most exclusive table in town!



Let Dehouche arrange your luxury boutique hotel and enjoy a whole host of insider tips on where to truly escape from it all on your honeymoon.
