Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Puerto Madero right now.
A magnet for tourists, Puerto Madero’s restaurants charge amounts that would make restaurant owners in other parts of the city blush with shame. It’s a beautiful area for when you want to stroll along the waterfront or snap a few photos of the expansive views, but unless you’re on an expense account, the food is generally far better and far less expensive elsewhere.
With a prime harborside location and a carefully curated tasting menu that delves into Argentina's abundant pantry, Chila is worth the splurge. Book a table on the water and allow the exemplary team (helmed by bright young culinary star, Pedro Bargero), to work its magic. The wine list is one of the city’s best; ask for the pairings.
The beef and pork are sourced from the owner's own ranch at this well-known—and expensive—steak house that attracts a crowd of mostly international travelers to the docklands. Service is impeccable, as are the steaks; of note are the ojo de bife and bife de lomo, aka the rib eye and the sirloin.
