La Carnicer\u00eda is to Argentine steakhouses as heavy-metal is to twentieth century music. It breaks all ten of the Ten Commandments of Argentine Steakhouses. For those of you that aren\u2019t familiar with the commandments, let me share them with you.<\/p>\n
\n- Thou shalt have plastic covered pages on your menu.<\/li>\n
- Thou shalt not have a menu that does not include at a minimum, the three following cuts of beef: lomo de bife (tenderloin), a bife de chorizo (strip steak) and ojo de bife (ribeye).<\/li>\n
- Thou shalt not serve grilled steaks with bones unless combined on a big platter with cheap cuts of meat and sausages.<\/li>\n
- Thou shalt not serve steaks thicker than 3 cm.<\/li>\n
- Thou shalt offer French fries on your menu.<\/li>\n
- Thou shalt have a replica of a cow on the premises or out front, or, alternatively, murals or paintings of cattle grazing.<\/li>\n
- Thou shalt also have paintings of gauchos on the walls.<\/li>\n
- Thou shalt serve stale bread in a basket.<\/li>\n
- Thou shalt overcook the steaks.<\/li>\n
- Thou shalt have waiters in red vests that don\u2019t smile.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
It\u2019s not unusual in modern times, to find a steakhouse in Buenos Aires that breaks one or two of the rules. But all ten? That\u2019s unheard of. Here\u2019s how the irreverent La Carnicer\u00eda managed to break all ten commandments.<\/p>\n
The menu is only one page. It\u2019s cream colored paper and it\u2019s not covered in plastic. In fact, mine was stained in about three places as you can see in this photo. There are a handful of appetizers and four main course dishes. And there\u2019s only one cut of beef on that main course list that is cooked on the grill (there\u2019s one that\u2019s smoked, also). To add insult to injury, that single steak is a bone-in strip steak. And it\u2019s thick. When they throw it on the grill it\u2019s about 5 to 6 centimeters. Cooks down to about 4 cm. In one paragraph these guys have already broken four commandments.<\/p>\n
There are no French fries in this restaurant. Just a delicious baked potato if you\u2019re craving a spud. That\u2019s commandment #5, down the drain.<\/p>\n
No hokey estancia-themed d\u00e9cor. No cattle grazing nor gauchos swinging bolas. Just the La Carnicer\u00eda logo, hand-painted on the paneled back wall and a room-size photo of about forty sides of beef hanging in a butcher\u2019s walk-in. It\u2019s creative and it\u2019s unique. Commandments #6 and #7, butchered. Pardon the pun.<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t serve bread. So, it can\u2019t be stale. Commandment #8, violated.<\/p>\n
I ordered the chorizo sausage appetizer. It comes in a bowl with a fried egg and some peas. Why don\u2019t all steakhouses serve sausages that way? <\/p>\n
I had the steak. I can\u2019t remember if I told them I wanted it \u201cjugoso\u201d (medium-rare) or not. I think that might be the only way they serve them. If you order one well-done, they\u2019ll kick you out of the restaurant. Why don\u2019t all steakhouses do it that way? As you can see from the photo I took after I\u2019d sliced a big chunk out of that steak, it was a perfect medium-rare. Now I\u2019m not going to say that this cut of beef was the highest quality I\u2019ve encountered in Buenos Aires. But it was thick and full of flavor. And it wasn\u2019t overcooked. Commandment #9 falls.<\/p>\n
I had the baked potato to accompany that steak. It was stuffed full of sour cream, chopped tomatoes and a couple of slices of sausage. You don\u2019t get a potato. You get two potatoes. Ideal for couples. I should have brought a friend.<\/p>\n
I was sitting at the long counter facing the grill and watching them churn out steaks and gin cocktails lickety, split. So, I didn\u2019t really have a waiter or waitress. But I can state with certainty that the kids that were waiting on the tables weren\u2019t wearing red vests. One wore a Def Leppard t-shirt and the other one . . . Well I can\u2019t remember, but it was definitely not a red vest. The final commandment, ignored!<\/p>\n
So, in summary. This steakhouse is breaking all the rules. The result is a breath of fresh air. A new outlook on the Argentine parilla. You can get a better steak elsewhere in Buenos Aires. But won\u2019t be half as interesting as a visit to La Carnicer\u00eda.<\/p><\/div>\n
