We started with a tortilla de papa y cebolla, a local dish which was definitely generous enough to share among four people. For the mains, I had the tenderloin lomo, and my husband went with the asado especial short rib. I ended up liking his choice better with a bit of fat made it extra flavorful and he happily finished my tenderloin piece, so it all worked out perfectly. We also shared a plate of grilled vegetables for good measure. The bread basket was excellent, especially with the accompanying sauces. While we're not steak connoisseurs, we found the meal absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. The restaurant itself is stunning.

Happily, it was just a block and half walk from our hotel. This was our third night and we were going to take advantage of the Argentina beef. The prior evening had also been at a steakhouse (There is another review for that one.) This place was amazing and we had relatively early reservations for BA. We showed up at 7 and by 8:30 the place was packed and people were going to the upstairs dinign area. This is a beautiful restaurant with an incredible aura about it. Easy to tell who the regulars were as they were called by first name. We tried to chnage up our appitizers from the first night. Here is our meal selection: Appitizers: Plata de Jamon crudi Italiano (platter of cured ham) Salchicha parrillera hecha en casa (Homemade grilled sausage Main: Pichana: Beef top sirloin Potato fries Dessert: Flan: Egg custard This was an amzing meal... Let me repeat... amazing!!! It is true what they say about Argentian Beef. It is incredible.

There is q reason why this is a Michelin Restaurant. KUDOs to the team at Fervor

Did Don Julio's live up to the hype?…read more Can any restaurant ranked #10 in the world by World's Best Restaurants -- and crowned #1 steakhouse three consecutive years -- truly live up to its reputation? I'd say yes, and then some. A word of advice: sit inside. That's where the magic happens. The open-flame grills roaring indoors create an incredible ambiance -- intimate, lively, and unlike anything else. The outdoor seating is charming in its own right (cozy blankets draped over every chair), but the interior is the real experience. Service was exceptional. Before we even ordered, our waiter personally walked us through the kitchen to introduce us to the various cuts on display -- a thoughtful touch that made the whole meal feel like an event. We settled on the ribeye and one other cut, with the ribeye stealing the show: thick, juicy, and cooked to perfection over open flame. To top it all off, the meal came with complimentary champagne, chorizo, empanadas, and dessert -- generous extras that made an already outstanding dinner feel truly special.

We could have done without the filet bc it was a lot of food. Also, the fillet we ordered medium and the other two medium rare. They tasted much better so I'd recommend the medium rare. We also shared chicken, beef and corn empanadas. They were delicious and flavorful, and the dough was light and flaky, not too heavy. We also shared a salad, which was the basic salad of arugula, Parmesan cheese and olive oil. They bring out bread, Chimichurri sauce, salsa and hot peppers. Had the small rutini wine which was great.

The portions here are massive. And that's coming from someone who can usually put away a pretty serious steak. Here, though It's a lot even for me. Was it good Absolutely. But a little heads-up if you're visiting: learn how Argentinians order their meat. If you ask for jugoso, it'll land somewhere between rare and medium rare. Al punto is closer to medium, sometimes even leaning toward medium well depending on the kitchen. And well done. Honestly... don't even think about it. Another tip: don't rush to order sides. Unless you're just getting a salad or you're sharing with more than two people, one plate is usually more than enough. Around here, they believe in feeding you properly and they definitely deliver.

The lady out front' led us in. There are two other options inside. I checked in and was greeted by the nice hostess who let us sit in the waiting area as they prepared our table. The vibes inside gave classic olden times. We were here for it. I loved that I could see the sky when I looked up. I made a classic booboo and mentioned wanting fernet and coke cos that was what everyone was drinking at the futbol game the day before. The guy was like no. He then proceeded to make us a fernet cocktail. As we had so much steak the say before, we opted for the smaller size here. We got the ribeye. Paired with it was their amazing mushroom dish served in a skillet. My god. That was the best thing I ate that day. We also got the pasta. So damn good. The 3 went perfectly together. They do give a starter bite and post dessert bites. Those paired with our cappuccino nicely. The staff here was 10/10 - the FS standard.

Ranked as one of the top 100 steak restaurants in the world and noted on the Michelin guide, it absolutely lives up to these accolades with impeccable service, world-class steak, and thoughtful touches that made our evening feel extra special. Given that we were staying at the hotel, it made all the sense in the world to make this reservation. From the moment we sat down, the service was warm and attentive, striking that perfect balance between professional and personable. Our meal started with a very large and warm complimentary bread service, a small but welcome touch that unfortunately some institutions in the United States have foregone after the pandemic in the name of cost cutting and profit maximization. Here's what ordered: Appetizers: - Ajillo Squid & Prawns: fainá, fermented tofu emulsion - Charred Fritters: bagnacauda sauce Entrée & Sides: - 21 oz New York Strip: cooked medium, sliced for sharing - Thick-Cut French Fries Drinks: - Glass of Malbec (graciously comped for our honeymoon) - a complementary Champagne toast, also comped for our honeymoon The Ajillo Squid & Prawns had incredible flavors, with the unique, rich fermented tofu emulsion tying everything together. The Charred Fritters were perfectly crisp, and the bagnacauda sauce added just the right amount of savory to the fried coating of the fritters. Then, came the star of the night--the 21 oz New York Strip. Cooked to a flawless medium, sliced tableside, and served with only salt on the side (which it barely needed), this steak was as good as it gets. Juicy, very flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth tender, it's clear why Elena is regarded as one of the best steakhouses in the world. The thick-cut fries were a great side dish, like the steak fries at any other steakhouse. But we both left the dinner thinking that we should've ordered something more "unique" as a side. As if the food wasn't enough, our server surprised us by comping my glass of Malbec, followed by champagne to toast our honeymoon during dessert, a thoughtful gesture that made an already fantastic meal even more special. Although prices were comparable to those pre-pandemic at American steakhouses, we both agreed that the quality and portion sizes were superior. We left completely stuffed and felt like we had received outstanding value for what we paid. Elena is the kind of place that makes a special occasion feel even more unforgettable. An absolute must when in Buenos Aires. Thank you for setting the tone during our Honeymoon!

We decided to give it a shot for date night recently. It's a pretty spot, with an open kitchen, and they still have the waterfall at one end of the room. Service was attentive and friendly. The menu - a bit of sticker shock. Yeah, it's a hotel restaurant and all that, but... when one orders a chorizo for 130 pesos, one expects a little more than a single "chorizo bombon", a mini version of the classic sausage, about 3 bites, and accompanied by nothing but a little dish of chimichurri. Yes, it was a delicious chorizo, don't get me wrong, but that's a little steep. But, we'd known it was going to be a pricey night out, so no surprise for a 205 peso provoleta, likewise excellent, and topped with caramelized red onions and accompanied by a mildly spicy tomato sauce. My companion ordered up the ribeye steak - which is available in three sizes, he went with the smallest, which was still a 550 gram steak (670 pesos!), more than a pound, and accompanied by more chimichurri, some herbed croutons (not quite sure I get that - a little weird to put on a steak), and some roasted garlic cloves (yes please). Came out cooked a perfect medium rare, and properly seasoned, and was tender as could be. Since the steak didn't come with any sort of real side dish... he also ordered a side of roasted potatoes. Excellent. Actually, maybe the best thing on the table, they were perfectly cooked and seasoned. 165 pesos. And I went with the aforementioned pork cutlet milanesa. I have to say, I don't quite get the poetry to be waxing about. It's a decent pork cutlet, on the bone and pounded thin. It's breaded in what tasted like it might be cornflakes, which gave it a weird flavor. The accompaniment of a charred lemon was a nice touch, but they need to give you a... hygienic way to squeeze it over the pork - it's covered in oil which makes picking it up and squeezing it, even on the tines of a fork, a mess for one hand at a minimum. And a large spoonful of whole grain mustard is just sitting atop it - I don't get the spoon. The salad - pretty "plain jane" - some mixed lettuce leaves in a very basic vinaigrette. There's so much more they could have done, particularly in presenting something like this. 390 pesos. Add in a couple of waters, a couple of glasses of wine (140 pesos each, and very good quality), a 90 peso per person cubierto charge (and they have paper napkins on the table... come on, for that price, and being in a high-end hotel, use some real napkins!) and a tip, and we topped out at barely shy of 2400 pesos - roughly $56. Not outrageous, just expensive.
