Rodízio – Buenos AiresRodízio is a Brazilian-style steakhouse-restaurant that offers meats grilled on a spit, carved tableside, and an elaborate buffet of salads and antipasto. Upscale, with great service, Rodízio offers a slightly different take on grilled meats in Buenos Aires. |
El Mirasol Campo & Mar – Buenos AiresCampo & Mar puts a unique twist on the Argentine steakhouse by adding grilled seafood to the menu. Execution and service are top-notch. The decor is more contemporary and stylish than the sister steakhouses. Both the menu and decor are an improvement in our opinion. |
Osaka – Buenos AiresOsaka is the gold-standard in Buenos Aires for Nikkei cuisine. Osaka has mastered the genre with exquisite ambiance, execution and service, albeit at a hefty price tag for BA. |
Le Pain Quotidien – Buenos AiresFor coffee, breakfast, lunch, afternoon merienda, or dinner, Le Pain Quotidien is a smart choice. |
Sottovoce – Buenos AiresThis is classic Italian cuisine in a fairly traditional setting on the boardwalk on Puerto Madero. Ambiance is nice but a bit sterile. Service was spot on. Our appetizers on a recent visit were disappointing though. The main course dishes and desserts were better but still missing that element that elevates a meal to something that is truly memorable. |
Happening – Buenos AiresSophisticated and more modern than the typical Argentine steakhouse. Nice decor. Located in Puerto Madero overlooking the boardwalk. Typically good food and even better service. We tried a hamburger at lunch made from some lean cut of meat. Poor choice. They should stick to the strip steaks and rib-eyes. |
Le Grill Steakhouse – Buenos AiresNone of that hokey mid-century ranch (“estancia”) décor. Everything is sophisticated and elegant, but slightly minimalist at the same time. Le Grille is a modern and more elegant take on the traditional Argentine steakhouse. Offering dry-aged beef, yet more reasonably priced than nearby competitors. It’s near the top of our list of favorite steakhouses in BA. |
Chila – Buenos AiresChila is a Top-5 restaurant in Buenos Aires for formal dining. Modern, but sophisticated and elegant decor. Near flawless execution and service. |
