"When it comes to steak houses in Buenos Aires, Don Julio is a name that often pops up in conversation. It's been named one of the best steak houses in many publications which explains the constant crowd here. Surely, you will have an amazing experience at Don Julio which is highly praised for it's tradition method of cooking juicy steaks. Their renowned entraña and vacío are particularly popular choices. I have to admit though, I never dined here because I was turned off from popularity (when I'm hungry I don't want to wait!) and locals opinions seem to think it may be a bit overhyped. Nevertheless, I added it to this list for you to go and see for yourself. Is it really the best steak in Buenos Aires? You decide! "

"BA’s most famous upscale steakhouse still captures the hearts and stomachs of locals and travelers. It’s the place to experience what the parrilla is all about: top grass-fed sirloin, rump, and skirt steak; crispy sweetbreads; and malbec by the bottle. Go for a leisurely lunch, or arrive early (or late) for dinner to avoid ultra-long waits for a table. If you can't snag a table here (likely not unless you have generous connections), there are other options in my guide to deliver on classic steaks. "

"Top-listed in the Latin American edition of the MICHELIN guide with a green star, and mentioned in the 2023 World's 50 Best Restaurants list. This is Buenos Aires’ most famous restaurant serving classic steaks, local dishes, a lengthy wine list, and elegant atmosphere. Nowadays, some say it’s slightly overrated, but if you want to give it a shot for the bucket list memory, the reviews do speak for themselves. A meal here will require an advance reservation or patient wait outdoors."
