Nostalgia is the best selling feature. Opened in 1846, I believe it holds the distinction as the…read moreoldest restaurant/bar in Buenas Aires. That's cool, but of course I care first and foremost about the quality of the food. Here I was left wanting. I tried both the spinach and the ham omelettes. They were huge and covered the majority of the plate, but the spinach one was a bit overcooked. The flavor was fine but uninspiring. I also tried a coffee with whisky and it too was okay but not as satisfying as I desired. The place also has a slight odor, but that could be due to the age of the establishment. It was groovy to enter, but I'm not sure if it is much more than a novelty at this point.

Putting it simple: this is where Argentinians go for meat! Go for 'Parrilla Libre' in the menu,…read moreit's an all-you-can-eat assortment of all the good things in a BBQ: empanadas (among the best in town), sausages, different types of meat, salads... all prepared the right way. Great service, amazing wines (try the Luigi Bosca Gala 4, thank me later). Consider you will spend no less than two hours enjoying every mouthful of food... just sit and relax! It's a bit far from downtown, but price-quality speaking is totally worth it!

This is an Argentinians' Parrilla. I mean, this is a place for the demanding locals. Not in a…read moretourist area but worth going there. Argentinians know their meats, they say, but they also know how to honor and respect their meats on a parrilla (bbq). This place is unique since they have all types of beef, pork and sometimes goat cuts. Me and my Argentinean friend started with chorizos, morcillas (black sausage) and one of those inventions that can only be thought of by people who feel for their food: Provoletta a la Parrilla. This is a slice of provoletta cheese, about half an inch thick that is put on the grill with some oregano and other mild spices and let it melt a little so the spices blend into the cheese and the oil from the cheese help form a crust. The warm cheese with a semi caramelized top and soft interior is heaven. After that we took a little rest and then we ordered sweet breads. This is another delicacy: cooked to perfection and with chimichurri sauce. Then we had the famous ribs. No sauce on them, just the perfect savory meat and the more perfect cooking. A new respite and we ordered pork. The pork was just sublime: cooked on the parrilla until the meat was glistening and the fat loose. The chimichurri elevated that pig like if it had wings. We had some beers with all that. Service was cordial and attentive to our request for small servings because we wanted to try several different meats. Go there ready to forget all you know about meats and let the pampa's people show what the gauchos eat without fanfare. It will not fail you.

No one speaks English and we used Google translate for the menu. The staff is extremely patient as we decided on our meal.
