Best Restaurants in Buenos Aires
A curated guide to the best restaurants in Buenos Aires, from iconic local institutions to under-the-radar spots worth crossing the city for.
Where to eat in Buenos Aires
Don Julio
Widely considered the best parrilla in Buenos Aires. The ojo de bife (ribeye) dry-aged in-house is transcendent. Book weeks ahead or queue from 7pm, they don't take walk-ins during peak hours.
El Preferido de Palermo
A 1952 bodegón that hasn't changed much since. The milanesa napolitana is enormous and perfect, and the house wine comes in a penguin-shaped pitcher. Pure old-school Buenos Aires charm.
Proper
A modern restaurant in Palermo Hollywood doing Argentine ingredients with global technique. The sweetbreads are crispy and revelatory, and the natural wine list is one of BA's best.
La Cabrera
A famous Palermo parrilla where the provoleta (grilled provolone) arrives bubbling and the asado de tira is fall-apart tender. The free side dishes that come with every steak are a lovely touch.
Chila
Buenos Aires' most refined restaurant, overlooking Puerto Madero. The tasting menu tells the story of Argentina through ingredients: Patagonian lamb, river fish, Andean potatoes. Special occasion worthy.
El Banco Rojo
A San Telmo bistro with excellent burgers, craft beer, and a youthful vibe. The chorizo burger with chimichurri is a masterpiece. It's the neighbourhood's best casual dinner spot.
