Again for the steak (beef de lomo), it has to be El Establo in Buenos Aires. No fancy decor, great attentive waiters and steaks cooked perfectly over coals. All this and a bottle of the best red wine for around US$25-30.

I was taken there first time by the crew on my flight. The waiter took all the drinks orders and the meals for twelve of us, without writing anything down. What steak, how it should be cooked, any extras (here the steak is a meal in itself and usually is not served with anything else) all this in his head. He got everything right first time.

Then you can watch your steak being cooked over coals in the restaurant. the taste and texture are divine.

Looking forward to using some of my miles to pop back one weekend this year with a couple of my colleagues who also agree with me on El Establo.
