"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! "
"If you really want to treat yourself to a pricey yet exceptional meaty dinner, head to Don Julio, an award-winning restaurant recognized as the world's greatest steakhouse in 2024! While we waited for our table, we were offered free empanadas and sparkling wine. The meats are pricey (dah!), but the sides are equally outstanding and much more affordable. As a pescetarian, I was worried there wouldn’t be anything on the menu for me. I was wrong. My boyfriend ordered a steak for about USD$72 (CAD$98), and despite the shocking price, he loved it. I went for mashed potatoes, delicious red wine from Mendoza, and perhaps the best tomatoes I’ve ever tasted! I would go back just to eat those side dishes again. "

"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. "
