    House salad is a great starter for your steak dinner.
    Phil L.

    If you're looking to avoid the tourist trap steakhouses and prices, go to La Brigada. Located in a quaint area of San Telmo surrounded by restaurants,, cafes and the San Telmo Mercado, the steaks are delicious, and the server really cuts your steak with a spoon! Friendly service, though English is not readily spoken. If you're a sports fan, you'll enjoy all the futbol jerseys hung on the walls next to photos of all types of sports. The top of ribeye, Corizo de Bife (NY Strip) and filet mignon were all sampled and prepared medium-medium rare. Nicely seasoned and juicy. Enjoy!

    I came in here with several of my colleagues while on a business trip. They had been here several times before and highly recommended it. I can now see why. We made reservations beforehand and were quickly seated upon arrival. Our server spoke enough English to help us and the menu was also written in English. The restaurant is located in a very vibrant area with many restaurants and bars. Definitely a fun place to go out. By local standards this is a more expensive restaurant but we all felt it was worth every penny. There were eight of us and we all ordered some type of steak. We started off with an appetizer of the Provençale Cheese appetizer. It is baked provolone and was incredible. After that I had a caprese salad and the tomatoes were ripe and perfect. They also brought out amazing bread and breadsticks with a dipping sauce that were also delicious. After the salads our steaks arrived. They brought them all out on a platter and then used a spoon to cut into each steak to ensure that the doneness was perfect and to show you how amazingly tender the steak is. Between all of us we ordered the garlic french fries, scalloped potatoes, and fresh spinach. Of these, the french fries were my absolute favorite and I could have made a meal out of them. The filet steak was massive and after eating everything else we had had I ended up taking 2/3 back to my hotel with me. After dinner a caramel crêpe type dessert was ordered and it too was phenomenal. I would absolutely recommend coming here. You may pay a bit more than you would at some of the other area restaurants but it will be worth every penny that you pay. The food, the service, and the ambience were all terrific.

    Another year! Back again.... Lulu worried about ordering the corte especial given the last time didn't measure up to the 1st rendition But not to worry it was great! as well as the starters of wild boar sausage & saltier chorizo with arugula & mixed green salads...I loved the bone in short rib roast Lulu less so...then right when food arrived, Tajo woke up wide so TA strolled him back Casa Bolivar took his meal to go I had requested an El Enemigo Malbec ...none..was directed to a 2017 Redon estate Bramare Malbec very rich delicious 14.7% heavy duty! Superb service! great ambiance!

    Dinner, what dreams of Argentinian steaks are made of

    I love the atmosphere of this place. If you like fútbol this is a place not to be missed in BA. The memorabilia is very impressive. The staff is always attentive and very professional. The food really never disappoints.

    Great find on our latest trip to Buenos Aires. Eclectic decor of soccer memorabilia, and old world chandelier and molding. Offer a wide range of wines in different prices in a higher end, so you can easily get a bottle that will be more than your meal. LOL which happened to me, when I said I wanted a small bottle of malbec. Don't get me wrong the Rutini Malbec they brought was great with my meal it was just sticker shock when we got the bill for the half bottle, was more than my steak. Now the steak on the other hand that we got, was so good and tender that they used a fork to split the steak between us. It melted in our mouth, the morcilla, and chorizo was seasoned well and delish. The cut we got was a NY strip and what they call top ribeye, cooked perfectly! Will definitely be back on our next visit to BA

    Place is iconic. Decor is fun and historic. Plates were amazing. Servers were quick friendly and had good suggestion. My meat was as expected delicious and tender full of flavor. See video on Instagram it got cut with spoon. Wine was malbec excellent too. Great desserts. And prices were in range with Buenos Aires good restaurants not overcharging. The value I perceived was top notch. Became one of my favorites.

    Great salad
    Fernando G.

    It seems that everyone agrees that the food is very good the prices are high. The wine is rediculosly expensive. It is king of a tourist trap don't let the waiter order wine x you. They will take you to the cleaners. When I don't see locals eating it does not give me a good feeling. In any case, food is good wine is very expensive by Argentinian standards. Pleasant looking place.

    Bife especial + Escorihuela Gascon -Malbec

    Probably the best steak house in the area. I had to wait for 20min aprox , which is normal for this establishment .Previous reservation is highly recommended! The place feels like a pub for "futbol" fans. Every famous team shirt, souvenirs or random Argentine culture icon is stuffed in the walls or any shelf. They only serve Argentine wine, why the heck would want to try another if youre in Argentina? Dare to try a brand you havent tried before and keep in mind you will want more than a bottle after you finish the Splendid meat you get in this temple.

    Amazing provoleta, combine with Argentinian chorizo. And bife de chorizo as a mais course. Paired with Trupeter Reserva Malbec. The Best!

    Definitely a very interesting place for lunch. Price was decent when paying by USD but I figured it's kind of pricey for the locals. Food was very tasty and service was great. Very nice restaurant that I would come again when in Buenos Aires.

    Welcome to Argentina and the land of steak. This is the perfect place to give you a welcome to this country. It was our first steak dinner in Buenos Aires. The restaurant is located in the charming area of San Telmo. It is decorated with soccer memorabilia as the owners are big fans and lots of chandeliers. Now for the most important part...the meat. Oh my cow! It was cooked to perfection, so tender and the flavors were delicious. You don't even need to add any of the chimichurri sauce as the meat stands on its own with the flavors. We also ordered some fries with lots of fresh garlic and parsley. Perhaps the best French fries I have ever had! Order them! My husband ordered a 2014 Malbec and per his words "the best Malbec I had in Argentina" The service was top notch as the waiters know their thing about the meats and were helpful in recommending the wine as well. We need it wheelchair assistance to get back to our hotel as we were full. The meal was so filling we didn't even have room for dessert.

    We had the best steaks here during our two week stay in Argentina. I've been to Buenos Aires three other times for business, had steaks had several well known restaurants and last night beat those too. Our waiter was also excellent and fun even though we barely speak Spanish. He made a great recommendation for an excellent bottle of

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

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!

We started off with a basket of warm house bread, and it came with several different types, but by far my favorite was the focaccia, which was topped with cheese and herbs and had a lightly salty flavor! All the breads went nicely with the ramekin of sauce on the side, which our waiter described as homemade "mayonnaise." Next, we had the Silo Pampeano salad, made of quinoa, roasted almont, goat cheese, arugula pesto, and fresh arugula. The salad was nothing fancy, but dressed with a little olive oil and vinegar, made for a really refreshing yet hearty dish. Finally, we tried the Milanga Pampeana, which was a thinly-pounded slice of deer meat, which was then breaded and fried, served over fried slices of sweet potato and a side of Mendozan tomatican, which was a mixture of egg, tomatoes, onions, and peppers cooked in a small iron skillet. While the deer meat had a nice gamey flavor, parts of it were a bit tough, and there was way too much greasy breading, given how thin the slice of meat was! However, it was tasty nevertheless, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back to try more of the menu. The standout of this restaurant to me, however, was the service--there was only one waiter manning the entire restaurant, but he was so kind, attentive, friendly, and helpful! Great experience, and great value!

Server was surprised because we tip more than their 10% standard (again, not their fault the service wasn't good enough, we saw him while waiting our turn, he was hustling several tables alone). Manager seemed busy, she stood near our table but never asked us if we were taken care of or not, nobody picked up our pile of plates near the border of our table ready to go and two different servers asked her if they could help us but she preferred to call our server who had his hands full and turned to see her to listen to her while putting a hard to watch fake smile ... the poor guy!
