One of the few steakhouses to appear on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list, this Buenos Aires institution has also earned one Michelin star and been named the world's best steakhouse. And you can feel it. The queue outside is long, and the pavement is lined with expectant guests who have already been handed a glass of sparkling Chandon from the Argentine arm of Moët & Chandon.
The menu features almost exclusively beef from the restaurant's own 230-hectare estate, Comarca Productiva, on the Argentine pampas all ordered after observing the various cuts on the grill in the centre of the dark and atmospheric dining room.
In the basement of the restaurant, which was established in 1999, lies one of the largest and finest wine collections in all of Argentina. Just remember to ask for the cellar menu, which features around a thousand different wines it will not arrive at the table on its own. Here you will find many classic Argentine reds with decades of age behind them. And these are the wines you should order, to experience just how beautifully they mature.
And remember reservations are essential.
