Five World-Class Restaurants in Argentina

Argentine cuisine is recognized worldwide for its great flavor and the quality of its ingredients. Today, in addition to those attributes, some gastronomic artists have propelled several of their restaurants onto the lists of the best internationally.

Here are five restaurants that are currently making Argentine cuisine famous around the globe thanks to the leadership of world-class chefs and sommeliers who have managed to maximize the quality and service of their culinary offerings.

Chila - Relais & Chateaux is a restaurant that has at least ten different menus that change monthly and are created by renowned chef Pedro Bargero. This gastronomic artist contrasts flavors, textures, and colors that result in disruptive dishes that offer memorable experiences to his customers.

The tasting menu of Chila is presented as a whole segmented into parts, emphasizing different stories, products, techniques, and sensations that the chef seeks to tell. The experience is designed to extend beyond the dish and can only be defined, after living it. Of course, it also offers a very exclusive offer on its à la carte menu.

In addition, this restaurant, founded by Andrés Porcel, offers an extraordinary wine cellar with the best wines so that the customer can enjoy the Chila experience to the fullest.

Parrilla Don Julio, located in the Palermo Viejo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, is recognized as a leader in Latin America in terms of quality and service. Thanks to the professionalism and creativity of its founder, sommelier Pablo Rivero, this restaurant offers an extraordinary menu of meats (from its own butcher's shop) and wines that have made it famous in the world of gastronomy.

The quality of Don Julio's premium grilled cuts of meat has earned the recognition of local people and a very high number of tourists who can't miss the experience of enjoying the various slow-cooked roasts and firewood. A distinctive feature of Don Julio is that the bread served at the table is based on steer fat. This is in addition to empanadas and pasta, among many other dishes that have given the restaurant international fame and that, in the case of meats, are accompanied by organic vegetables.
