I've reviewed the long time classic burger at this upscale bar before, and had it more than once. And until the gourmet burger craze took over the streets of BA, it kept a place in my top five burgers in the city for several years. As more and more spots came up with pretty damned good burgers, while it certainly stayed in my five star category, it fell out of the top five. I was in the mood to stop in and have a cocktail or two at a classy bar, and wandered my way over recently (gin & tonic made with The Botanist gin from Scotland of all places, pretty amazing gin, though expensive (170 pesos per cocktail - though I suppose for an upscale bar and an upscale liquor, an $11 cocktail that has a double shot of gin in it isn't all that high).
On the menu, a new 45-day aged steakburger that turns out to be simply stunning. Very simple - just well seasoned dry aged meat, coarsely ground, topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and an herb aioli, on a cheese brioche bun. And one of the best burgers I've ever had. It comes in at a whopping 360 pesos (but then again, so do some of the high end burgers in Puerto Madero and not one of them has even made it into my five star rating category - all coming in at only three or four). I wouldn't often pimp for a $23 burger (anywhere, let alone BA), but this one is well worth it for the splurge. I would move this place back into the top five, though specifically for this burger, however, the menu changes every few months and it's quite possible at the next change, this one will be gone. Still, the "regular" burger at Pony Line only got knocked out of the top five when La Birra moved in, so it was still hovering on the edge at 6th place - I'd happily eat either of them. But if you're up for the cost, go try this one while it's still there. read more
