Rotisería Atlantico – Buenos Aires
Trendy décor with bar-seating only. No tables. Open kitchen where the parilleros do their thing is right behind the largest counter-height table. Read the review for wine tips.
Farinelli – Buenos Aires
Café with pleasant ambience and décor that offers some breakfast and several lunch items (mostly sandwiches and salads). Spotty service.
Cabaña Las Lilas – Buenos Aires
The gold standard for Argentine steakhouses. If money is no object, opt for the Wagyu. Otherwise look at more reasonably priced alternatives like nearby Le Grill.
El Sanjuanino – Buenos Aires
El Sanjuanino is a favorite of Porteños and tourists alike, with quirky nostalgic décor and a wide variety of well-executed traditional regional menu items. Don’t miss the house wine served in a traditional pingüino decanter.
Il Gatto – Buenos Aires
Italian chain restaurant with clean, pleasant décor, reasonable prices and consistent quality. Best for pasta and pizza.
Lobo Cafe – Buenos Aires
Lobo Café is the best option for breakfast in Puerto Madero, overlooking the harbour. Nice decor. Friendly, but lackluster service. Commendable French toast.
