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.

This was one of the things I was most looking forward to on this trip, and I made a reservation through our hotel months in advance. Fantastic meal overall. The steaks were great. Service was on point right from the beginning when they gave us wine and yummy corn empanadas when we arrived. The chocolate-covered dulce de leche at the end was delectable.

Fire. Smoke. Steel…read more No gimmicks. No unnecessary theatrics. Just cooks standing over open flame, moving with quiet confidence while the room watches the ritual unfold. Every plate carried the flavor of fire and patience. The steak was perfect. The vegetables weren't treated like an afterthought. Even the simplest bites had depth, texture, and soul. The kind of place where you lose track of time because you're too busy watching the kitchen work. Buenos Aires knows meat. FOGÓN reminds you it also understands restraint, hospitality, and craft. One of the best meals of our trip. Easy 5 stars.

They open at 7:30p and have only one dinner seating, we arrived a few minutes beforehand and waited out front for the doors to open. Once inside, we were all seated at a bar style table, where you could watch the food being prepared. Each course had a wine pairing, and if you wanted more wine you simply set your glass on the higher edge and it was refilled. The 11 courses included a nice selection of started, several asada dishes and dessert. It was an experience and a show, while being delicious!

Turned out a couple of Food tours were arriving soon. Lucky we were ordering takeaway. Smaller spot with just about an equal amount of in/outdoor seating. We ordered a couple of the Guest Chori's-The Juan Pedro Caballero (pork) and the Carneceria (beef). Juan Pedro had tortilla chips and peppers and the pork chorizo sausage was saltier than the beef. We ordered a Chimichurri sauce on the side and enjoyed it. We liked the Pork more than the Beef-just was more flavorful. The Bread was thick, soft and held up to the Choripan and condiments well. Potato salad with al dente potatoes was tasty. They also have beer and cocktails so ordered a Gin and Tonic while we waited for our order. Friendly people behind the counter. Food was ready in about 15 minutes. That said, I can see they could get busy and have longer wait times. Make this stop for local grilled sausage deliciousness.

They served mostly chori and one morci (blood) sausage sandwiches but with a twist with their toppings. You could get just the sandwich or combine with side and drink. I picked the Invitado Juan Pedro Caballero and the cashier hesitated before entering the order as she wanted me to know it was picante. I assured her it was not a problem and then paid with my credit card. After a short wait, they called my name and I picked up my choripan. it was quite the handful filled with layers of roasted peppers, tortilla chips, onions and lettuce. The tortilla chips were stale but overall I liked the flavors especially with the heat from the peppers and chipotle mayo. It was a nice twist on the popular choripan.

Yes I played it safe and ordered things that you can get in the states but the tabula was done well. The hummus was the best I ever had, not some Trader Joe's shit. I then got Carne en Fierro (beef on skewer). I was thinking some small cuts of beef on a skewer. No, they deadass gave me a big ass steak marinated like if it was going on a skewer. The steak was better than one from a steakhouse I got here. The place hasn't blown up yet with tourists, but a favorite for Palermo residents.

The service was immaculate, everyone was very friendly and welcoming, we happened to walk in right during a slow day, and it was perfect. The ambiance is very cozy, lots of paintings of prominent Argentine figures such as Carlos Gardel and of course Diegito. I highly recommend coming to dine here, the food is well made and the wine selection is very nice as well (We opted for Coca W/ Fernet since we were on our way to watch Futbol)
