We were in Buenos Aires for a few days prior to our Antartica Trip and asked our concierge at the Sofitel Hotel where we could go for a true Buenas Aires Steak experience. Without any delay he said that we must try Las Lilas. A simple ride over and beautiful location at the site of their redone area along the riverside. Much like every other city is doing. Restaurants. apartments, shops and lots of young people enjoying themselves. We walked inside this beautiful Steakhouse and elected to sit outside where we could enjoy the beautiful view and atmosphere in lovely warm weather. Let me be frank.... Walking into a beautiful Michelin restaurant is pretty much the same around the world. You walk in with a smile and high expectations. Right here in the beginning I will say that the team and service was impeccable from the beginning. Flawless in my opinion. They came over in introduced themselves while bringing us some water, cheesy bread and taking our drink order Appetizers: Three styles of tomatoes. Selection of cheeses from their very complete collection. Main items: 16oz PIcahna steak (shared) Fried Potatoes (shared) Of course the wine was Malbec which paired so perfectly with all the amazing food. I am not going to go through each item other than saying everything was 'over the top' delicious. My friend said to me that once you've had Buenas Aires Beef you'll never forget the amazing flavor. Even through my wife likes her meat more on the well side, it retained the tenderness and unbelievable flavor. There is definitely a reason that a place like this become a Michelin Restaurant. Cabaña Las Lilas is flawless and judging from the look on the faces of the other diners around us.... They thought so too. Please see the pictures I added. Many people shared as the portions are very generous. KUDOS to the team at Cabaña Las Lilas

On this trip, I gave up waiting for table so I got take out instead. I got the filet lignin, truffle fries and passion fruit cheesecake. Order was completed within 15min they packed it with so much care! Swoon. You can stand at the open window and watch everything! Make a reservation so you can experience the atmosphere, complimentary cheese bread and get your steak straight off the grill! But yes they do take out!

This was my first time here but my mom has dined here before when she visited. Our server was a nice gentleman and older. Most of the staff was older and I liked that because I don't see that often when I dine out. Complimentary bread was provided. I did a house red and the server gave me a generous pour; it was deliciously smooth. My mom ordered grilled chicken (it was a huge portion) and a side salad (also pretty large portion). I ordered beef and chicken empanadas. I preferred the beef over the chicken but both were really tasty. The pastry was nice a flaky and the filling inside moist and flavorful. I had four and as I write this review 4 hours later, I'm still full! Definitely a spot to check out if you are in Buenos Aires!

We typed out what we wanted on a translator app and we got what we ordered. The complementary bread was very hard and I supposed that could be the style but it wasn't good. We had the olives as the appetizer, which were wonderful. The empanadas were good and the chimichurri that came with it was on point. We split one mixed meat skewer and the meat chunks were huge. More food than we could possible eat. Skip the empanadas and go with the olives and skewer and you'll be full.

The hot and sour soup is one of the best I've had in many years. It oozes of cilantro and there is so much tofu that one could be tempted to make a meal of it only. The greens beans were perfect. The right crunchiness and tenderness when bitten. The burst of Sichuan Pepper gave the bite back as required. I wish I had uncovered this place way before.

Brand, spanking new spot that just opened downtown, I think it opened the second week in February…read more Inside, it looks like an old pub, and they haven't done much in the way of decoration, of any sort. Until recently, it was apparently a small Peruvian restaurant, Angry Fish BA, which I'd never even heard of. I don't think I ever saw the place even open, though their Facebook page was active until last July - maybe it was only open at night. Somewhat extensive menu, and only about 2/3 of the menu is translated from Chinese into Spanish. Why? Because the other dishes are "really traditional" or "too spicy" for Argentines to appreciate. I think these guys will need to adjust that thinking. Why not offer it and see, it doesn't take that much effort to translate the dishes - something I made the waiter do right down the line. [Edit: Revisits over time - they've redone the menu to a multi-page one with pictures, and Spanish translations for almost all the dishes. Strangely, they still reserve one page with maybe 8-9 dishes on it that they don't translate and that are much more obscure dishes - a couple of them excellent!] Potstickers - Really well made lightly crisped dumplings. The filling, pork and chive, and a little underseasoned, though the hot sauce they brought on request was fiery and with a dash of soy sauce, was just perfect. Spicy Pork Belly - This was one of the non-translated dishes. I mean, these days, who doesn't dive into a pork belly dish? Beautifully flavored, sweat-inducing spicy with fresh chilies throughout the dish, and just absolutely delicious blend of slightly sweet pork belly, green onion, peppers, chilies, and Chinese celery. A very happy camper was I. [On those revisits - they have a couple of stunning, spicy chicken dishes - both a bang-on Szechuan peppercorn chicken, and in that untranslated section at the back, a fiery chicken hot pot. Prices have gone up a bit, but not significantly as of early 2018.] And, fairly reasonable - both dishes plus a bottle of water and tip came in at 375 pesos, or $24. The place is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, which is unusual for that neighborhood, but gives a great option for those who like "real" Chinese food.

It's the best way to order by the slice, soak in that classic pizzeria energy, and mingle with the crowd. We stood at the counter and tried the Mozzarella and the Fugazzeta. As a New Yorker who swears by thin crust, this thick, airy, Sicilian-style like pizza is a totally different beast, but I definitely understand the appeal. The Fugazzeta was a completely new experience for me. It's essentially a heavy base of dough and infused cheese buried under a massive layer of onions. It's rich and delicious, but the classic Mozzarella slice ended up being my favorite, perfectly balancing salty cheese with a slightly sweet tomato sauce. Come hungry because this pizza is no joke; it is very heavy, and two slices will easily fill you up. Overall, it's a solid spot worth visiting to experience a local staple, but don't expect a life-changing slice.

Enjoyed a Patagonia lager beer which is local to Argentina and it was great. Definitely the best brew I had in country. Overall this was a very good experience and I would certainly visit again when in the area.

While this place has been here since 1962, the first time I came was in 1993. I love it here because it is a classic, old-school restaurant, between the decor, the waiters and the grill as you walk in. The service has gone downhill a bit over the last couple of years, but I find that if you connect with your waiter when you finally get him to your table, he will check on you more often. They have a great wine list as well. The steaks are some of the best I have had, and I love that they bring your steak on a steel plate over a charcoal fire- do not let them take the grill- I love putting the fat on there to render away and then ladle it over my steak- so much better than butter! The fries are to die for, as is the Morcilla- so good and creamy- if you like that! I am usually too full for dessert, but I recently had their ice cream- so good and creamy!

Beware! We booked a…read moretable for three at Sotto Voce while staying in Como over Easter 2025. As it turned out, we were unable to go because our son was unwell. We cancelled online, as that is how we'd made our booking (although we never actually received a confirmation from the restaurant). Two days later, we saw that we'd been charged €300 by the restaurant as a late cancellation fee. After taking this up with the restaurant and our credit card company, we were informed that buried in the small print in the restaurant's booking terms is a €100 per person late cancellation charge. Yes, you read that right. €100 per person! Our party was two adults and an 11 year old. Still they charged us €300. Now, aside from the fact we would never have spent €300 on a meal at this place, and that we don't feel this 'penalty' charge was made clear when we booked, how is it reasonable to charge that much? We are now pursuing the matter through the Italian consumer watchdog, the Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato. Book a table at this place at your peril.

Our server is very friendly. And even if he spoke very little English, we enjoyed the experience. We ordered the tomahawk for two.

Secondly, there's not much seasoning to it so it tasted too oily. In short, quality was a bit off. Without chimichurri or salsa criolla and not much seasoning, I didn't appreciate the big piece of meat.

I think it could have easily been shared between 4 people. The place is small maybe 9 tables and seemed to be run by an elderly Asian couple. Sweet as can be and she cooked up a heck of a kung pao Chicken. The best Asian food I've had since I left the states. Easily a 5 star rating by any standards.
