Delicious wine
Mayi B.

Our dinner was an absolute delight! The meats were cooked to perfection, complemented by a refreshing salad and the most heavenly Dulce de leche flan. The extensive wine selection added an extra touch of excellence. The waiter was very attentive at all times.

One of the best gourmet steakhouses in Palermo, and the whole city. We were a party of two and sat inside for a late lunch on a weekday. Service was excellent. Not sure of the meat cuts, the server brought some to our table to choose. We picked "ojo de bife, a ribeye cut of 400 gm that was grilled to perfection and we shared. We also shared a nice green salad and potato fries and Malbec wine. The cost was reasonable, the ambiance pleasant and the quality of food and service was outstanding. This establishment was formerly a grocery store, the corner building is from the early 1900s in a trendy and very safe area of town.

A bit expensive for Argentinian food, but the steaks were well cooked and aged well. A good assortment of meats here and each one dish was tender. Some of the best steak I've had in Argentina. The Salad was good, and the grilled cheese was made well. A must try spot for good an Argentinian steak experience. The only downside was that the food came slowly.

For having a party of 8, service was stellar. Our waiter was very patient as everyone decided what appetizers and entrees they would have. I had garlic parsley fries, house salad, beef empanadas, and ribeye. I loved the beef empanadas. They were so tender and juicy, as well as thoroughly seasoned. The portions were also bigger than I anticipated. The ribeye was cooked nicely and was tender too. The pear and mascarpone dessert was pretty divine. The pear itself didn't lend much flavor, but the macerated berries accompanying the pear provided a nice tartness. The toasted almonds gave it a nice crunch!

Lo de Jesus was recommended by our guide and was only a few blocks walk from our Hotel. Looking back at all of our Argentina Parilla experiences, both Gayle and I agree that we had a few better meals, but no better dining experiences than this restaurant. Let our pictures tell the story of a most pleasant night out. At the beginning, we pretty much had this place to ourselves. That's what happens with an couple from Los Estados Unidos sit down outside at just a few minutes past 7:30 PM. By the time we departed sometime pat 9:30, the place was considerably busier, which from our sidewalk cafe perspective allowed for all sorts of people watching, listening in on various conversations, and speculating on motives. One case in point was a male couple behind us, where one excused himself to go to the bano and never returned. An intial date meet-up that didn't work out? Of course we had steak, but we learned and shared an order. Malbec, proveleta, and dessert and coffee were also on our menu. We really enjoyed the meal, the energy, and really appreciated our waitress who was very patient with our Castellano and our refusal to jump to English too quickly.

We ate here based on a recommendation from our taxi driver when we couldn't get into another restaurant. Best decision ever. We were seated right away and served by the nicest people. Our steaks were cooked perfectly (obviously....it's Argentina) and the sides were also delicious. No here is the best part...we ordered a wagyu steak for less than $60 usd and a full bottle of wine for $13. The whole meal came out to $83 and not a SINGLE THING WAS WRONG! Don't get me wrong this was an expensive dinner to locals standards, but from my perspective this was a fantastic deal. Plus this place had more food options that I preferred in comparison to some others. I would eat steak here again and again.

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.
