כסף ומזומן

מטבע: ARS · Argentine peso

Cards are widely accepted in cities. Argentina lifted most exchange controls in April 2025 and the official and informal ("blue") rates have since stayed close, so paying by foreign card is usually fine (check the rate before you go, varies). Cash is still useful for small shops, markets, tips and some taxis; ATMs have low withdrawal limits and high fees. Prices move with inflation, so check menus and quotes on the day. Watch for counterfeit notes in change.

טיפים ותשר

A tip of about 10% is standard in sit-down restaurants and is usually left in cash. Many restaurants also charge a 'cubierto' (cover charge for bread and table service), which is not a tip. Elsewhere, rounding up is enough.

מסעדותAbout 10% in cash. The cubierto on the bill is not a tip, so still tip separately.
בתי קפה ובריםRound up or leave small change for table service.
מוניות ואפליקציות הסעהRound up to a convenient amount; no percentage expected.
מלונותPorters roughly the peso equivalent of US$1-2 per bag; housekeeping a small amount at checkout.
סיורים ומדריכיםCommon: around US$5-10 per person for day tours and more for full-day wine or trekking tours (varies). Guides often welcome US dollars.
משלוחי אוכלOptional; round up or tip in the app.

דמי שירות: מה נכון

Service charges are not usual. The 'cubierto' or 'servicio de mesa' line is a cover charge for bread and place settings that goes to the restaurant, not a tip for the waiter. Traditionally tips could not be added to card payments, so staff expect cash; some places now accept tips by card or QR (varies).

טקטיקות לחץ שכדאי להכיר

Visitors sometimes think the cubierto is the tip and leave nothing, or are told by staff that card tips are impossible. Bring small notes so you can tip 10% in cash. If the bill already shows a tip or service line, you do not need to add more: 'Ya está incluida la propina, ¿no?'

משפטים שימושיים

  • La cuenta, por favor. The bill, please.
  • ¿Puedo dejar la propina con tarjeta? Can I leave the tip on the card?
  • ¿Está incluida la propina? Is the tip included?

נימוסים והליכות

  • Friends and acquaintances greet with a single kiss on the right cheek, including men among friends. A handshake is normal at first meetings.
  • Dinner starts late, often after 9 pm; many restaurants open around 8 pm.
  • If invited to an asado (barbecue), thank the asador (grill master); it is a social ritual.
  • Sharing mate (herbal tea) passes around one cup and straw; say 'gracias' only when you have had enough.
  • Avoid raising the Falklands (Malvinas) casually; it is a sensitive topic.
  • Bargaining is not common in shops; light bargaining at craft markets.
