Argentinian Food

and restaurants in Buenos Aires

It is often noted that Buenos Aires feels like Europe in many ways. With its Parisian-looking buildings for one thing, but also in the city’s cuisine, which often gleans inspiration from that of Italy and Spain. Buenos Aires is no copycat though, and fuses these influences with its own unique South American flair to create a menu all of its own.Argentina is famous for its steak, and Buenos Aires is no exception: parrillas, open-grill steakhouses, are popular, but there is more to food in Buenos Aires than just steak. Here are some suggestions for steak, or something a little different.

CABAÑA LAS LILAS

Steak House

Located in the heart of Puerto Madero, is a restaurant that combines the tradition of Argentinean meat with Brazilian warmth and hospitality. The selection of the best raw material, together with an impeccable service, has turned Cabaña Las Lilas into a world-class restaurant visited by the most demanding gastronomes. The prestigious American newspaper “The New York Times” has even named it as one of the 10 best restaurants worldwide.
Alicia Moreau de Justo 516, Puerto Madero

LA BRIGADA

Steak House

For a typical Argentinean dining experience, La Brigada is the perfect spot. It is a traditional parrilla restaurant, where the waiters cut the tender steak with a knife at the table in front of the guests. The walls are adorned with Argentinean football memorabilia, and there is tango music playing in the background. While this all may seem a little gimmicky, it is popular with locals as well as tourists thanks to great quality fare.

LA CABRERA

PARRILLA DON JULIO

Steak House

Parrillas, or Argentinian steakhouses, are plentiful in Buenos Aires. The hallmarks are fairly standard: an old-fashioned ambiance, free flowing Malbec, attentive waiters and – of course – a vast selection of meats cooked on an asador, or grill. What sets Don Julio apart from all the rest and keeps both locals and tourists flocking to it? Well, quite simply, when it comes to parrilla and those juicy Argentinian steaks, the good folks at Don Julio are artists to say the least.

El CLUB DE LA MILANESA

Steak House

It may seem that not much else can be done to the classic Argentinian favourite, the milanesa (breaded meat). However, at El Club de la Milanesa, there is an enticing variety of combinations for visitors to try; while the average milanesa is usually plain chicken or beef, El Club de la Milanesa offers a fish version, pancetta topping, creamy mushroom sauce, caprese, and much more. For visitors tired of steak but still wanting to eat some of the local cuisine, a tasty milanesa has to be on the list.

PIZZERIA EL CUARTITO

Italian Food

A large number of Argentinians are of Italian descent, and pizzerias abound in Buenos Aires. One of the best among them is El Cuartito, which has been around since 1934. Despite its name, which translates to ‘the little room,’ the restaurant actually comprises two large dining areas, the walls of which are painted sky blue in support of La Albiceleste, the national fútbol team of Argentina. Order up a pie and see what Argentinean-style pizza is all about: doughy base, light on the sauce, and positively dripping with cheese. Then, make like the porteños, or Buenos Aires natives, and wash it down with a cold Quilmes beer.

PIZZERIA GUERRIN

Italian Food

Another exemplary pizzeria, Güerrin has been around since 1932, when it was founded by Genovese immigrants to the city. The sheer scope of the pizzeria’s menu is remarkable; there is certainly a topping combination for everyone. What makes this pizzeria truly shine, however, is its fugazza, an Argentinian take on focaccia generally topped with herbs and onions. The one here comes loaded with ham and cheese, or slathered in mouthwatering mozzarella.
