Ribeye
Sam H.

We ordered the provoleta salad, ribeye and skirt steak. The provelta salad is huge. The cheese was filled with sun dried tomatoes and mushrooms. It was quite tasty. The. The steaks came out. I ordered them rare. The ribeye was unevenly cooked. Somehow one part was medium well and the other part was closer to rare. I was really disappointed with the ribeye. The skirt steak was medium but tasted better. I expected more, especially having my ateaka properly cooked. It's what they do. Based on my experience, I would go somewhere else for a beef meal in BA.

Calden has it all! Amazing food, service and decor, add to that an expert grill master! Gracias

Roasted garlic so good

This is the best food around. Eggplant awesome, steak awesome, roasted garlic awesome, wine awesome. You can't go wrong eating here. Italia would be proud of these chefs. Nicest service personnel. 5 stars. '80s music just a plus!!!!!

The BEST papas fritas!

A well known parilla among locals in Palermo SoHo that is low key but superb in every sense - from the service to the grill to the table. Just great. Consistently excellent at reasonable prices compared to the more touristy papilla's in the neighborhood.

Caesar salad

Food and service were great. Steak wasn't really seasoned but it and everything else were still good. Ambiance was cute for small parilla.

Well I have to say that Calden of Soho still does not disappoint! Ezequiel our server really knocked it out of the park for us. On this outing we came for lunch and did not need to make a line but in the evenings things start to pickup, especially on Thursdays, Fridays and the weekends so show up early if you can. As with our last outing all good items and recommendations made by Ezekiel were excellent. For starters we ordered the Grilled Provoleta (Argentinian thick grilled Provolone cheese with Olive Oil) which was amazing. Next up we orders the "Lomo a La Champignon" (Tenderloin Steak with Mushroom Sauce) with potatoes "Au Gratin" and the "Bife de Chorizo" (Ribeye Steak). with mashed potatoes. All the steaks were incredibly tender and were cooked to perfection on their coal fired grill. Service was excellent but no where near the level of service we received at Don Benito Steakhouse the night before which is why I kept their grading at 4 stars. Rounding out our lunch today we went with some homemade Flan and some espressos to boot. Yep you guessed it, deserts and coffees were very good as well. As always I highly recommend that you walk over if you are staying in the Palermo Soho area of Buenos Aires. If not, then your best bet is to UBER or take a local taxi as parking could be problematic and why would you want to drive if you want to have some drinks or enjoy some wine anyway. "Calden of Soho" is definitely a must visit if you are visiting Buenos Aires. From my perspective you are getting a lot of value for the money you are spending. Wishing you all a great time in Argentina, Enjoy and Bon Appétit!

No mames mejor corte de carnes que eh probado en mi vida!!! Cada vez que vaya a argetina tendré que hacer un stop en el calden! Estaba tan delicioso que fui dos veces cuando estaba en Buenos Aires! El vino, la comida, el servicio, el ambiente! Todooo todooo excelente!! Si no haz tenido la oportunidad de ir de los recomiendo 100%!! Ya soy fan de ellos, comí mucha mucha carne en Buenos Aires pero esta fue la que se llevó el premio de mi!

Ribeye Steak, Malbec
Eliza D.

So so soooo good!!! We were gonna wait for Don Julio (for 3 hours) but we were soooo hungry and we thought we would be wasting our time. Calden del Soho did not disappoint! Locals were eating there so I figured we made the right choice! We got the chitterlings for appetizer, two ribeye steaks, papas fritas, patagonia beer and of course malbec. Everything was sooo sooo sooo good! The steaks were huge and cooked to perfection! The complimentary bread and sauces were good too! I loooved that garlic in oil.

Penne Rigate con Alfredo

Greatest restaurant experience I've had here as a tourist. During my brief visit in Buenos Aires, I was looking for somewhere to eat that was walking distance. Reviews and pictures were good, so my mom and I went. We were seated promptly as we walked in. We noticed most of the patrons were dressed in formal wear, but we were not made to feel out of place. Our waiter was so kind and attentive, despite some if the challenges the language barrier presented. We each had a beef tenderloin empanada- so amazing. Best empanadas I've ever had. The meat was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. We had the "ensalada completo". Whatever dressing they used was good. It tasted of red berries, but it wasn't overwhelming. Next, my mom and I shared some of the "Ojo de Bife" as well as the "Penne Rigate" with Alfredo sauce. This Alfredo was the most pure and fresh I've had. The steak was so tender and flavorful. It was absolutely fantastic. We ordered it as well done or "to the point" and it was given to us more undercooked than we liked, but we figured the standard we have is likely different to those of locals. Still yummy. The 2 empanadas, the salad, pasta, steak, and bread had a grand total of $26,000 ARS, or around $29 USD with the current exchange rate. We had an absolutely amazing experience in every aspect. Fast service with a kind waiter, lovely romantic ambience, and unbeatable plates. I hope to return on a future visit.

We were so excited to get here and eat some great steak. We arrived and they served some bread with a 3 condiments (chimichurra, garlic, and another one i didn't taste). We ended up ordering fillet mignon, cooked rare. It was definitely not rare by US standards and not consistent throughout, but the piece of meat was so big, we had enough rare to fill us up. It did not have as much flavor as I expected. Staff was fine, nothing out of the ordinary. my expectations were too high, but I would have probably gone somewhere else.

In a country known for its steaks, Don Julio ranks supreme. While pricier other nearby spots, the…read morequality of the meal and the level of service are unparalleled. I first tried Don Julio 2 and 1/2 years ago, on the way to Argentina. I remember being blown away by the steaks and even more so by their famous homemade ice cream. It uses Jersey milk, which I understand makes it fattier and more delicious. All I know is, upon my first return to Buenos Aires, I immediately sought out this restaurant and tried to get a walk in. No such luck, so I made a reservation for the following week. Reservations can be made online in English or Spanish. For such a popular place, you can still get reservations a week out. Reservations are for the outside, which include blankets at each seat and heat lamps. They can and often do reach out to you via WhatsApp before your reservation to see if you would like an inside table instead, at different times. Show up on time, and they offer you a complimentary class of moet chandon champagne and mini empanadas while you wait for your table to be ready. The kitchen will send you breads and a variety of little things to taste. We had amazing asparagus, cured meats, and a flaky pastry, in addition to a delightful bread. There was enough for us to say that we would already be content with just that, but of course the meat was coming! We opted for the entrecot, which is like a bone-in ribeye, "a Punto" or a very juicy medium rare. Eat it with the spicier chimichurri sauce and woooooowweee let it melt in your mouth! 1 entrecot was enough for 2-2.5 people. We got 2 for 4 and had some leftovers. We also got the arugula and shaved cheddar salad, which was divine in its simplicity. Grilled mushrooms were also a perfect pairing with the meat. For wine, we had the sommelier choose us a dry Merlot, which was jammy and delightful . For dessert, we had the the dulce de leche (sweet but amazing), vanilla, and egg yolk vanilla ice creams. Everyone said they were the perfect ending to a perfect meal. As we sauntered back to our hotel in the afternoon sunshine, I kept repeating in my head " soy contenta" because boy was I ever. This meal did not disappoint again, and I will be back whenever I can. Worth the hype and worth the wait!!! p.s. that meal cost us each about $100 USD.

Don Julio Parrilla - The Meal That Changed My Mind About Buenos Aires…read moreAfter spending a week in Buenos Aires, my hotel concierge had secured reservations at five of the city's hottest restaurants & trendy spots, Michelin-recognized destinations, and some of Argentina's highest-rated dining experiences. Unfortunately, the first two nights were disappointing. I started wondering if the legendary reputation of Argentine beef was simply an illusion. Perhaps the quality of the meat was exceptional, but the execution wasn't. Then came Don Julio. Our reservation was for 9:30 p.m. at one of the hardest restaurants in the city to book, and within minutes of arriving, every negative thought I'd had about dining in Buenos Aires disappeared. Guests waiting outside were welcomed with complimentary Prosecco and warm empanadas while tables were prepared. We stepped aside to take a few photos and struck up a conversation with a friendly couple from New Jersey. Like us, they admitted they hadn't been blown away by the city's food scene, until Don Julio. We were seated at a cozy table with a clear view of the chefs expertly preparing and carving beautiful cuts of beef. The atmosphere reminded me of Pastis in New York... classic, lively, elegant, yet relaxed, like a charming Parisian bistro. The Wine & Starters We began with a bottle of Balbo red wine, smooth and velvety without heavy tannins. Fresh bread arrived with rock salt, spicy olive tapenade, and a bright pico de gallo that was unforgettable. The menu was refreshingly simple: exceptional ingredients, no unnecessary theatrics. Endive & Shaved Walnut Salad - 30/10 I never expected an endive salad to be memorable, but this one was extraordinary. The leaves were buttery and tender, perfectly dressed, with shaved walnuts adding texture and balance. Midway through the meal, my boyfriend said, "Now this is a dish you can't replicate." I replied, "Challenge accepted." Creamy Mashed Potatoes with Jersey Butter - 10/10 As a self-proclaimed mashed potato connoisseur, I can honestly say these were among the best I've ever tasted silky, buttery, rich, and luxurious without feeling heavy. Grilled Cauliflower - 4/10 Well prepared, lightly charred, and served over a smooth purée, but after the incredible salad, it simply couldn't compete. The Star: Bone-In Ribeye for Two - 100/10 After several disappointing steaks earlier in our trip, we learned that ordering medium-rare in Argentina often resulted in something closer to medium-well. This time, my boyfriend ordered the steak rare with a charred crust, and our waiter understood perfectly. What arrived was one of the greatest steaks I've ever eaten: tender, juicy, perfectly pink, and incredibly flavorful. I've dined at some of the world's most celebrated steakhouses, and this ribeye belongs in that conversation. Halfway through dinner, I leaned over and whispered, "Has our entire trip to Argentina just changed because of this restaurant?" Three of our four dishes were phenomenal. This wasn't just the best meal of our trip--it may have been one of the best meals I've ever had. Dessert - 9/10 Skipping dessert was never an option. We ordered crêpes with dulce de leche, finished with a crisp brûléed top and served with rich Jersey milk ice cream. Our waiter also surprised us with a complimentary serving of dulce de leche cream, one of my favorite bites of the evening. Service - The service at Don Julio deserves a standing ovation. Our waiter was warm, knowledgeable, attentive, and incredibly professional. When I dropped my fork, another appeared instantly. Every time someone left the table, a fresh napkin awaited their return. Wine glasses never sat empty, and the maître d' checked in without ever interrupting the flow of the evening. Every detail was noticed. Nothing was overlooked. It's the kind of hospitality that makes you feel genuinely cared for rather than simply served. Final Thoughts Don Julio completely changed my opinion of Buenos Aires' dining scene. After several disappointing meals, this restaurant reminded me why Argentina has earned its world-famous culinary reputation. Outstanding food. Impeccable service. A warm, energetic atmosphere. An unforgettable experience from beginning to end. If you're planning a trip to Buenos Aires, make your reservation at Don Julio as early as possible. Trust me...it's worth every bit of the hype

Nothing seemed more authentic than the big parrilla (grill) that greets you when you enter or the fact that the place doesn't open for dinner until 8pm. A meal in this clean, somewhat industrial-looking space begins with empanadas and chimichurri arriving automatically at your table thanks to the small "cubierto" (per person cover fee, not a tip, of about $2.50 per person). Given the late dining hour I resisted over-ordering, knowing that I didn't want to go to sleep stuffed to the brim. Rib-eye was my choice, along with wine and beer, with the whole thing coming in at a pre-tip price of $90,100ARS (about $63USD). It was a perfect meal that still filled me succinctly and as I left I couldn't help but feel for all those still waiting to enter the restaurant at around 10 p.m. Parrilla Peña proved to be a great and authentic choice for a solid parrilla experience. I went on to have similar meals for more money a couple more times while in Argentina but it was here that I thought the experience most authentic, being enjoyed more by locals and only a handful of in-the-know tourists such as myself.

Argentina makes some of the greatest steaks on the planet…read more And yet, there are times when nothing is better than an Argentine hot dog. I am not talking about the stupid everyday hot dogs which are called panchos. These are just like hot dogs in America. They depend on what kind of goop you put on top. I am talking about Choripan. If you think about how you eat an Argentine steak (with wine, gusto and reverent appreciation) And how you eat Argentine ice cream (squeals of oooooooh!) Choripan is right in the middle. Half Church of Great Amazingness and Half Little Kid Fun. * * * We don't have Choripan in the US. Choripan is derived from the Spanish-Catalonian hot dog tradition rather than the German frankfurters we eat in America. In a Catalonian hot dog house, you have a choice of 8 or 10 or a dozen different kinds of hot dogs ... Meaning 8 or 10 or a dozen different kinds of meat or flavoring right in the sausage itself. One sausage might be made with extra liver. One sausage might be made with lots of ground up mushroom. Usually there is a spicy one with Mexican chiles. Nowadays there is a vegetarian one. The sausages all taste dramatically different from each other. Choripans are larger than a traditional frankfurter but smaller than a knockwurst - more like a fatter version of a footlong. They are served on a small submarine roll. In Spain, you get a free choice of toppings. Most Spanish will only put one or at the most two toppings on their dog, Because they do not want to drown out the taste of the meat. Our hot dogs are boring. We put distraction after distraction after distraction on top to make us forget how lousy the base dog is. * * * Chori is widely considered to serve the best choripan in Buenos Aires. Choripan is all they do. There are ten choices of sausage. They are more rigid than the Spanish on toppings. They have figured out what topping goes best on each sausage - and when you order your hot dog, you get the chef's choice of fixings for each one. Believe the house. They know what they are doing. How are their dogs served the way they want to serve them? ABSOLUTAMENTE MAGNIFICOS !!!!!!!!!!!! * * * Special Bonus Section! Not only does Chori make its own hot dogs ... But it also makes its own ketchup. Once you have had Chori's ketchup, You will never be happy with the Heinz-style American ketchup we eat at home. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Argentines have better tomatoes than we do. But that is not the driving factor. They have put something dark and baritone and powerful into their ketchup. My guess is that they use balsamic vinegar rather than white vinegar as the base. However, I also think they have seriously reconsidered the spice mix and the use of sugar in the ketchup. Whatever, their secret is, you absolutely positively must get french fries with your choripan. And yeah, the fries themselves are nothing special. (I have only had really good french fries in one place in Buenos Aires, El Federal in San Telmo.) But Chori's ketchup on even average fries turns the fries into a dish to remember forever. Long after my hot dog was gone, I was eating each french fry one at a time as slowly as I could. The fries had already gotten cold but I didn't care. The ketchup was that good. * * * I don't think they put nuts in the sausages at Chori. But YOU would be nuts not to go to Chori while you are in Buenos Aires. Hey, there are more ways to have fun than just doing the tango!

Very good sandwiches and variety of choripan. Lots of drink options also. Good space with clean…read morebathrooms and nice decor.
