The cuisine of Iguazú region is quite varied, it has traditional dishes from Misiones and neighboring countries: Paraguay and Brazil.

The most popular options are:


  • Fish: You will find them on the menus of all restaurants, they are served fried, baked or grilled. The most requested by people are: El Dorado (a fish that name indicate, has a striking golden color), can weigh 10 kilos. Another very tasty one is the Surubí, it is the largest in the area. It is usually served in very large portions. It is a fish that can weigh 70 kilos. Another excellent option is the Pacú, also known as "pig or river sucker". It is an autochthonous species, it belongs to the piranha subfamily. 

  • Sopa Paraguaya: It is a food originally from Paraguay, but the proximity to Misiones do the local people adopted. It is a kind of salty sponge cake, prepared with yellow cornmeal, cheese and egg. Unlike a traditional soup, Paraguayan soup has a more solid consistency and is usually eaten alone or as an accompaniment to meats and stews.

  • Reviro: It is a mixture of flour with bread, egg and oil, it is usually accompanied with a fried egg and some vegetable sauce. It is one of the favorite foods of the people of Iguazú, especially for cold and rainy days, due to the feeling of satiety it leaves.

  • Feijao Preto: This food was introduced by a neighboring country, in this case by Brazil. But in Misiones they created their own version of the black bean stew. Usually, rice, salt and spices are used to accompany the beans but in the Iguazú area they usually add some herbs, potatoes or sausages.

  • Dulce de Mamon. It is a dessert that is prepared with the fruit of the plant (which bears the same name) and is usually served with syrup or grapefruit juice for those who prefer something not so cloying.
