El Pobre Luís isn’t La Brigada. And it isn’t La Cabrera. It’s arguably better. Because it’s received less publicity there’s less hoopla, less arrogance, and shorter lines to get in. Very good service. A great ambience. And some super-duper steaks. Perhaps our favorite steakhouse in Buenos Aires!
La Dolfina Polo Bar is tucked into the back of a high-end clothing store and sports a polo theme and motíf. Opens at 8 a.m. to accomodate the early morning meetings of the diplomats that live in nearby Palermo Chico, and anyone else looking for nice little café with good food and service.
Using traditional French technique, Chef Rebaudino has created gourmet dishes in the grand French style, paying attention to every detail, from meticulous plating to creating complex sauces that bring out all the potential of these fabulous, but rarely experienced, local ingredients. Service and ambiance to match. Best elegant option for lunch in Buenos Aires.

Elauge Hermanos is the best choice for a steak downtown, east of Corrientes. It doesn’t boast the kitschy estancia décor of your typical Argentine steakhouse. It’s slightly more casual and contemporary, relatively new making for pleasant ambience. Better than adequate service. Beef quality is good, and execution is typically spot-on.
