If you’re an inveterate meat-eater, you’ll want to head to the República de Fuego, a restaurant with a young and informal vibe occupying an old restored house in the city’s Recoleta district. In this setting, which has retained the homely feel of the original building and which has preserved several “vintage” features such as the original and delightful flooring, everything revolves around the traditional Argentinian grill. Dishes have a contemporary twist in their presentation and are always based around premium cuts of meat that chef Gabriel Pérez prepares with the greatest of care. Highligh

Few places in Buenos Aires are as original as Bis Bistró, located in a charming passageway full of shops that inevitably draws comparisons with the romantic alleyways so typical of Paris. This bistro, which could be described as the younger brother of the renowned Aramburu (located opposite – chef Gonzalo Aramburu is in charge of both), has a classic ambience that comes as a pleasant surprise, having retained its 1950s-style bistro essence and appearance (high ceilings, globe lamps, long banquettes, mirrors etc) alongside a glass-fronted kitchen and a small bar. The reasonably contemporary à l

There are very few people who haven’t heard of the Don Julio restaurant and Pablo Rivero, the owner-chef at one of the world’s best “parrillas”. Walking through the door of this restaurant, where it is always difficult to book a table, is akin to immersing yourself in the culinary culture of Argentina, and enables you to understand its passion for meat, which is seen here as a family legacy (Pablo’s grandmother was a butcher and his parents cattle breeders). They have attained this level of excellence thanks to the exclusive mixed ageing process used, their assiduous selection of meat (Herefor

If you’re on the lookout for a restaurant with plenty of history, make sure you pay a visit to El Preferido de Palermo, which opened its doors in 1952 as a modest tavern. This busy eatery, occupying an iconic pink building dating back to 1885, is now run by the owner of the Don Julio parrilla, just one block away, and has retained its bygone character (period floors, mirrors, colourful jars of pickles etc) following heavy restoration, while at the same time updating its cuisine with an à la carte that respects the Buenos Aires DNA of this former warehouse. You can’t leave without trying the fa

The popularity of this Asian-style steakhouse, which was opened in 2017 by the owners of La Carnicería, demonstrates the perfect fit between this restaurant and the district of Palermo Soho. An ideal venue for a night out with friends, or a restorative weekend lunch, it is bold, lively and exuberantly decorated – the red hanging lanterns must have featured on thousands of Instagram accounts! It has the feel of traditional Japanese izakaya, especially if you sit at the bar directly in front of the chefs. The ingredients may be Argentinian, but the flavours and techniques are either Japanese, Ko

After an extensive period working aboard, which saw him train at Le Cordon Bleu in London and then in other culinary pantheons such as Azurmendi (Spain), Frantzén (Sweden) and the erstwhile 108 (Denmark), young chef Tomás Treschanski has returned to his homeland with a limitless contemporary repertoire built around diversity. Occupying a remodelled house in the Villa Crespo district, this exclusive restaurant features a bar with an impressive collection of whiskies, an attractive glass-fronted terrace, and a contemporary-style dining room with just a single but elegant cedarwood counter for 11
