Bangalore Pub and Curry House Buenos Aires, Argentina

Buenos Aires is renowned for the lack of spicy cuisine; hot sauce fanatics will be disappointed again and again by the mildness of the salsa in the Mexican eateries and the shortage of fiery cuisine options overall. If you crave that eternal burning in your mouth, stop into Bangalore Pub and Curry House, one of the few places that does piquant right. Upon entering this crowded, dimly-lit, wood-adorned pub, don’t be surprised at the amount of English you hear spoken at this Brit-expat haunt. Order up a few massive bowls of green curry, some peanut satay, and a pitcher of refreshing gin and tonic for just a few dollars, and scrounge around for some standing room (seats are more valuable than money in this tiny, teeming watering hole). Other British standards are on the menu as well, such as kidney pie and the rare tap beer. - Elizabeth Gleeson
