Beef here in Brazil has been getting much tastier and tender in recent years, so it might be a real challenge to find better in Argentina. On past visits to BA we have been to La Cabrera, Rio Alba, Cabana Las Lilas, Don Julio, and La Brigada. They are all excellent, although there were so many Portuguese speaking tables near us that we felt we had not left Rio. In the end, we did not find these places to offer anything far superior to what we could get here in a top-end churrascaria. Any recommendations would be most welcome!
You have been to various of the places that are on proper shortlist, here are some to consider in addition....

- La Cabania (this is not Las Lilas)
- Le Grill
- The Grill at the Plaza Hotel (ex Marriott Plaza)
- La Dorita
- La Raya

The first three names above are high-end options, the latter two are more everyday down to earth options that locals would normally go to.
