Don Julio’s walls filled with empty wine bottles left behind by patrons are the focal point of this interesting and highly popular steakhouse. Despite recent price increase it’s still one of our two favorite steakhouse in Palermo Soho.
Las Violetas is the best little Confitería in Buenos Aires to get a glimpse of what affluent life in Buenos Aires was like in the early 20th century. The building and café’s décor are unequaled in Buenos Aires. Culinarily speaking, not a masterpiece, but a don’t miss this little piece of history.
This historical landmark doubles as a restaurant and bar. It’s an interesting ambience. But it’s one of the dirtiest restaurants in the city, rivaled only by Chan Chan and the parilla Desnivel in that category. The good news. They offer a primo turkey sandwich and charcuterie platter at better than reasonable prices.
Chila is a Top-5 restaurant in Buenos Aires for formal dining. Modern, but sophisticated and elegant decor. Near flawless execution and service.
Minga is an Argentine steakhouse with a more contemporary atmosphere but a fairly typical menu. There were some lapses in execution on a recent visit.
Ultra-casual ambiance sitting at one of two small bars overlooking the cooks constructing the tapas, De Lucia offers extraordinarily good tapas that venture outside of traditional Spanish cuisine in a very good way. Absolutely delicious. Always a good conversation with others sitting at the communal bar.
