One of best steak we had on trip. Plus points for cutting t-bone and bone in ribeye table side. The level Of disrespect for gringos was palatable and the only place we had any inklings of such attitudes. Other tables got a serving of initial amuse buche - we did not We asked for sommelier and was rebuffed although she visited other tables Menu- wine list was literally too Sammy to read. Main menu was in Spanish and we were directed to. QR code. When it finally opened it required a lot of scrolling AND the offerings were not the same as the menu. It was so frustrating we actually disucces leaving. If you can limit your expectations and jsut order the steak you will be please and at a reasonable price
Officially a tourist trap. We had a weird experience here. Our waiter left without letting us know so we had to ask for help because our food was missing. The steak was good but not up to the hype. We've been getting ribeye consistently and this restaurant was the first one that served a very fatty (more than average) piece. Aside from the service the food just didn't do it for us. The burrata was blah and then the caesar salad had a bunch of mayo on it? Overall, not a good experience.
Finally my dreams come true to eat Argentinian Steak!!! 10/10 the steak Entraña was so good I ordered it in medium well and also ordered Beef Empanadas. I was so happy and let's talk about the Wine we paired with. Im very satisfied and can't wait to come back
The focus here seems to be on the many sides, distracting from the meat. at one point I had 13 small dishes of extras: sauces, 3 types of potatoes, applesauce, etc on my small table. I had to shoo away a server who wanted to add another 10 dishes to the table. This excess of too much food that no one could possibly ever eat is a huge turn off. I can see now why the menu is so expensive: you're paying for the extra crap. That said, my steak was well cooked if too large a portion for 1. Nothing was really bad; it's the vulgarity of so much food that no one could ever eat in a sitting (and that was undoubtedly going to be trashed after I left) that left me feeling kinda sick and bad. I'm obviously not the target customer but if you're into this kind of extreme gluttony then you'll love the place. For me, I'd prefer a more real and unpretentious food experience that doesn't try to overcompensate: there are many great parilla options in town which deliver a great and more authentic food experience for a fraction of the price of this tourist trap.
This is easily one of the best meals I have ever had. The interior was quaint and romantic (a little loud, crowded, and hot, but it wasn't anything unbearable). It had everything you'd expect of a steakhouse, but with an almost Italian touch to it? Our server was amazing. Incredibly helpful, quick, had great recommendations, and would oftentimes come around to our table with new sauces to try dipping our steak, fries, and bread in. To start, we had the assorted breads, each of which had its own distinct taste and every one of them was delicious, especially when dipped in the accompanying sauces! After that, we tried their empanadas, which were, again, outstanding (AND THE SAUCES!). I ordered a steak with a bleu cheese sauce over it and I'm not exaggerating when I say I've never had a better bleu cheese sauce in my life. I absolutely devoured it. Once again, the SAUCES that came with the steak were amazing! We had so many sauces at our table by the end that we were running out of room for everything! We had fries as a side and they were perfectly crispy and seasoned. Dessert was a huge surprise. We saw some servers walking around with it, so we had to get it... It was four scoops of ice cream with cones stuck on top. It looked like normal ice cream, but each and every flavor was absolutely amazing. We ate it all up. I cannot recommend this place more highly! Definitely make a reservation if you plan to go. There was a long line outside when we left!
Look at my photos and salivate like Pavlov himself rang a dinner bell while dopamine washes over your brain at the thought of carving up that steak. Your neurotransmitters will do no justice to actually eating the whole thing in one sitting - holding yourself back, purely for decorum, and not grabbing your quarry and foregoing cutlery. Word of advice - show up at 6:30 and be part of the early crowd. You absolutely must be out of your seat before 8 sharp but you literally get 40% off EVERYTHING including alcohol. So.... Queue up early, order the steak, get a bottle - best steak & experience in Buenos Aires.
The wait was very long for walk up, so I would say definitely make a reservation. Food was good but not great. Ambiance inside was very quaint and cute though.
Came with no reservations and seated in about 15 minutes. Service was very good and enjoyed the starters, bread and wine. I basically deducted 2 stars because my filet was too dry and that made it difficult to eat. It's a steakhouse and it should be better. Portions are huge, so be careful on ordering too much.
I ate here with three other women on the weekend of the Taylor Swift Eras tour, and we were a bit nervous that the restaurant would be overcrowded and touristy. We were pleasantly surprised that was not the case. We had an absolute feast of steak, veggies, salad, bread, and wine for about $100 USD (including tip). We ate during the earlier shift and had plenty of time to finish our food before needing to leave for the next shift. The steaks are HUGE!
Excellent place to dine!!! We were a party of 45 and the service we received from beginning to end was beyond our expectations!! The food and drinks were amazing! I had the BEST Cesar salad I have ever had in my life at La Cabrera! It had fresh grated parmesan, thick chunks of bacon and the dressing was tasty and they weren't stingy, it was big enough for 4 of us to share. Pricing was excellent as well we all are very well. We had steaks, wine salads and the bill was only $600 USD for all of us!!! Also this place was so cute ambience was great! Will definitely be a place that we shall visit when we return to Argentina.
One of the best steak experiences I had while visiting Buenos Aires. We went to Don Julio the night before and were let down, but La Cabrera lived up to the hype. Portions were generous, Malbec was wonderful (DV Catena) and numerous small side plates were brought out at no additional charge. We had the T bone and filet and both were cooked beautifully as medium rare. Restaurant ambiance felt cozy and comfortable and we really enjoyed the wonderful service we were given. Thank you!
Amazing food, excellent service. It was about an hour wait but it was worth it. Can't wait to go back again. There's a but tho... avoid at all costs to go to the restrooms while you're eating. Doors are see through and it's something I do not want to see while I'm happy about my meal.
Amazing food at the airport!! Gracias!!! I love this restaurant but didn't have time to go and what a nice surprise and treat! At the airport!!

Easily our favorite restaurant in BA that we came here back to back days without reservations. Pro tip - come here at 5pm to put your name down for their happy hour. You'll be seated at 6:30pm and your entire meal will be 40% off. Yes all food and drinks everyday. Isn't that wild?? We went with the mixed salad, ribeye, and house wine. Ribeye is perfectly cooked and served with a bunch of sides including mashed potato, roasted garlic, potato gratin, corn cheese, etc. Salad was very fresh and complements the fattiness of the steak well. Service can be a bit spotty as they're so busy but very worth it overall. Can't wait to be back! read more

La Cabrera is so well know around for having some great steak. The energy is lively, yet quaint, with trinkets all over the walls. The portions are quite large and accompanied by classic little sauces and side dishes that add onto the meal. The bife was cooked to perfection - juicy and teddy with a nice color on it. The service was great regardless of how busy it gets. And I have to say the complimentary liquors and sweets at the end are always a nice touch! read more

We had a great time at La Cabrera. The food was amazing! Steaks, fries, sweet bread as an appetizer, Caesar salad. Also a bunch of extras provided to go with fresh baked bread. My only complaint was with the online reservation system which didn't flow through to staff. Luckily I had a paper copy of my reservation or it likely wouldn't have been accepted. The place was packed for an early dinner with walk ups on Saturday evening. A line forms before opening so be ready to wait if you don't have a reservation. read more

I love this place! Everything is so tasty and it comes with so many sides. However, don't be fooled, they aren't free although it seems like they are. They add like 2,000 ARS on your total bill, which is honestly nothing considering how good they are. The portions are huge and I ate by myself. But there are options where you can get 1/2 the serving. They also have happy hour from 6:30-8 which gives you 40% of your total. Overall, I'm really happy I went here! Highly recommend :) read more

Another great steakhouse in Buenos Aires, reservation is a must but can come earlier to put your name down to be on the walk-in list. We went for lunch with no reservation but came in right when they opened and put our name on the list and they told us to come back at a certain time. Afterwards we got seated about 5 to 10 min from the time noted to come back. We opted for outdoor seating, which was nice was able to enjoy the weather. We ordered appetizers of empanadas 4 pieces, half portions of morcilla & chorizo, Tomahawk steak. This was plenty for 3 people, we had left overs. Our table was also served a nice bread basket, and our meal came with sides. The food was delicious and our Tomahawk was cooked perfectly medium. Overall the food was good, but the service was kinda okay, we needed refills on our drinks and it took them a while to check on us, but not sure if it's because we were outside. read more

I ABSOLUTELY loved my experience. It's a small cosy restaurant. The service was very good. I loved the visual aid of how you would like your steak cooked. My friend lives in Buenos Aires and she likes to take guests here. I fully trust her. We started with the empanada then moved to two different cuts of steak. There are multiple dipping sauces and all were incredibly fresh. The crème brulee sauce is a corn soufflé. The baba ganoush has a lot of garlic but I'm a garlic lover! The NY strip was about 3-3.5 inches thick and was perfectly cooked. Honestly, a sauce is not needed but it makes it fun. I would say it was one of the BEST steaks I've ever had. All the wine choices were great!!!! A Malbec is perfect! The dessert included two ice creams and dulche de leche in these wonderful light crepes. The strawberry ice cream was basically pure fruit frozen with some sugar. Incredible! read more

Hands down the best steak! This place gets packed, make sure you have a reservation or you get there early if you dont have one. The staff is courteous and the servers are incredibly friendly. The ambience is very typical of a steak house, dark with dim lights. I started with a 1/2 chorizo, by itself it super flavorful but when topped with chimichurri it becomes amazing. Then I ordered the grilled tenderloin. I got four large medallions, cooked to perfection (nice and pink) you sprinkle some salt and it will be the best steak you have ever had. Also tried the bone in dry age ribeye, it was flavorful as well. read more

I went for lunch - party of 1. I had to wait an hour. The waiter recommended the steak chorizo. It was hard to cut and chew. Also, the chimichurri was like mayonnaise. I would not go again. Separately I had a steak at Parilla Pena, excellent. read more

Fantastic meal and service! We heard about the Sunday special seating at 6:30 PM and arrived at 6 PM to get our name in the list. Everyone who arrived early was seated and enjoyed a 40% discount as long as their meal was complete by 8 PM. The steak, chicken, salmon and accompaniments were delicious. Our waiter recommended a great Malbec, which was also discounted. Overall service was excellent. Allow yourself time after dinner to explore this area as there Is great shopping, music and bars. read more

Very good service on top of great food. We were more than 30 minute late of our reservation but they still honored it. The meats, condiments are all so delicious. I over ordered but finished everything. Didn't even leave room for the free lollipop tree! read more
Our friend recommended La Cabrera as THE place to get asado in Argentina. Let our meal be a lesson for any other couple who thinks they're hungry and tries to order two entrees (there was more food on our table than the family of four next to us!!). We WhatsApp messaged the restaurant (lol) to see if they were open New Years Day, and they were, and told us that without a reservation, we should come at 8:40 to get on the list for any immediate second seating no shows or to be first in line for the third seating. Barely missed the second seating but only had to wait 40 min for the third seating, and they brought out sausages, fries, champagne and water for everyone while they waited. PS the Google Maps location isn't accurate-you have to keep going a block. Not only are the cuts of meat huge, but they come with two sets of sides, warm and cold (not to mention the bread, butter and antipasti that are put out at the beginning of the meal). We ordered the Asado, ravioli and arugula + carrot salad. Strangely, the arugula salad didn't come with carrots so it was just.....arugula. By the time we saw everything come out, we couldn't be bothered to ask for carrots, knowing we couldn't even eat half of the food that came out. In typical Argentinian fashion, the meal ran about three hours, as we were put through the mental and physical test of eating short a kilo of meat at 11pm. We had to take the ravioli and a small portion of the meat home, but it came in a cute reusable tote bag. The cherry on top of the meal is the fun lollipop tree that bring out with the check! This was definitely one of our more expensive meals in the city, as food is very affordable in the city, but comparative to American meal prices this was spot on. read more
[The ultimate steak tour in Buenos Aires] [TL;DR] - Advantages: No wait if you arrive at 6:30pm. If you finish your dinner before 8:00pm, you can get a 30% off your entire bill. - Since the steak is served on a sizzling pan, you better eat the steak fast or you'll be eat well done steak at the end. - Even though it comes second to Don Julio, it's on the same level as them. [Overview] After somehow convincing my wife, we recently completed a week-long tour of the best speciality steakhouses in Buenos Aires. I sourced the list with a combination of Google Maps, Yelp, Trip Advisors, and some food bloggers. Overall, the restaurants we visited and ranked are below: (The links are listed at the bottom and the details are listed on each of the restaurant's profile) 1st: Don Julio 2nd: La cabrera 3rd: Calden del Soho 4th: Santos Manjares [Details] La Cabrera, is definitely on the same caliber in terms of the overall steakhouse dining experience. But it was edged out by Don Julio for the taste. Don't get me wrong though, La Cabrera has a few advantages. For one, there is no wait if you arrive for dinner at 6:30pm. Secondly, they have a 30% off the entire bill including food and drinks if you can finish and get the bill before 8:00pm (Yes.. Bottles of wine are included in the discount). Initially, I thought they just artificially raised the price only to offer the discount, but the regular prices are comparable to all the other steakhouses already. [Food] When you first sit down, they provide a tray of olives and a bread basket of interesting variety of sauces. We ordered the Ribeye steak and the mash potato and Asparagus sides. The steak overall was a great quality of meat. However, given that the steak is served on a hot plate, the steak continues to cook and unfortunately the last few pieces were fully cooked and not as appealing. [Service] The services was good, but not amazing. Also the layout and decor has more of an intimate and casual feel. [Price] The ribeye was approx. 1,247 ARS ( $21 USD). The side dishes are average 375 ARS ($6 USD) [Stars Breakdown Key] - Food - Up to 3 stars: (Given for the quality of the steak) - Service - Up to 1 star - Overall Experience: Up to 1 star [Actual Stars Breakdown] - Food: 3 Stars - Service: 1 Star - Overall: 0.5 Total: 4.5 Stars . (Rounded up to 5 stars) [Links] - Don Julio - https://www.yelp.es/biz/don-julio-buenos-aires - Calden del Soho - https://www.yelp.es/biz/calden-del-soho-buenos-aires - Santos Mangares: https://www.yelp.es/biz/santos-manjares-buenos-aires read more

This place is amazing! Showed up during weekday approximately 2pm and were seated immediately. This is my second most favorite parrilla after fogon asado, and at least 5-10x better than Don Julio. I had the Tomahawk Steak which was cooked to perfection (asked for jugoso) and wouldn't have it any other way. My fiend had Bife de chorizo which was amazing as well. Also they took USD in cash with favorable blue rate. I'd highly recommend to check out this place. Friendly service staff, amazing wine option and food with great ambiance. Highly recommended! read more
