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.
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.
Aldo’s – Buenos Aires offers a full menu in it’s Palermo Hollywood restaurant and a limited menu in Aldo’s Wine Bar on República Árabe Siria in Nuevo Palermo. The restaurant boasts a sophisticated décor, first-class service, and reliable execution of a small but appealing menu designed around many of the wines lining the restaurant’s walls. The restaurant in both Palermo locations doubles as a wine shop.
Saigón brings fast-casual dining with fairly authentic flavors from Southwest Asia in the form of spicy noodle soups and salads to San Telmo and Retiro at extremely affordable prices. One of the best choices downtown for lunch.
La Fabrica del Taco serves, as the name implies, tacos. Also Tex-Mex style burritos and quesadillas. Palermo Soho location is a dive. Las Cañitas is a bit more upscale. San Telmo resembles a fast-food restaurant. Tacos, which are fairly authentic, are delicious. Tasty food at a good price.
The Pizza OTL (Only True Love) is the sexiest, candlelit pizza parlour in town. Superb casual ambience and great pizza add up to The Pizza OTL perhaps being the best pizzería in Buenos Aires.
