La Cabrera

Jose Antonio Cabrera 5099/5127

This restaurant has been operating since about 2006 and now has a number of branches. The owner must have an impish sense of humour. Nothing from the outside of the restaurant gives you any clue about the food nor does the menu itself. It seems to be a straight up Argentinian steakhouse and you can in fact buy steak but the real genius of the restaurant is the effort put into the garnicions with each one more sublime than the one before. And how many are there? A dozen or more? Worth making the effort to get to if you are in Buenos Aires.

Price: AR$50,000 per head with wine and dessert

Abuela Pan
It feels cosy, homey. It’s off the tourist frenzy. Amazing authentic home-made cooking. A wonderful vegetarian restaurant with great food and service. Try the Giant espanada. The food is made with full of love. Service is friendly.

Cabaña Las Lilas
Probably the best place to eat meat in the Puerto Madero neighborhood. It's a highly rated restaurant among travel guides and sites, although not a local's favorite. Don't miss the ojo de bife! This place had the reputation of being the best place to eat steak in Buenos Aires. The steaks are enormous and succulent. If you eat here, count on them having to roll you out as you will be near explosion (probably best to wear trousers with elasticated waists!) It's a constant struggle not to stuff yourself with the mouth watering appetizers before your steak even arrives. When it does, you may chuckle at the little plastic cow figurine jabbed into the meat, smiling at you and bearing the words “Estoy jugoso," - "I am juicy" (meaning rare). You can also share an order of steak, which the restaurant will serve on separate plate. The doneness is different in Argentina than in the U.S., for medium rare, order rare.

Churrasquería La Planchita
The attention is excellent as is the quality of its products. A fantastic variety on the menu. Homemade and fresh flavor. The lentil dish is very good. Generous portions. The food is delivered quickly. Excellent treatment by all the staff.

Dadá Bistro
This small restaurant makes the top lists among locals, and is a highly recommended one in tourist guides. Try the Lomo Dadá, one of the house specialities. Recommended to arrive before 21:00, otherwise you'll have to wait.
