On top of my head
1) Many years, in the Palermo Soho neighborhood of Buenos Aires, I had the best steak filet ever, for the equivalent of $8. Can't remember the name of the restaurant though.
2) More recently, I was staying at Park Hyatt Milan. I had dinner 1 evening at their all-day restaurant "La Cupola" and ordered their 'Tournedos Rossini'. That was a fantastic course.

SFgate compared prime rib from sf (house of prime rib) and La (lawry’s). Thankfully hopr was the better choice even if it’s very challenging to make a reservation within a month. I just reserve months Ahead of time.

Dons de La Nature in Ginza. Hands down the best beef I have ever had, and my son called it meat butter it was so soft and flavorful.

Okay, I am English and you all know we are famous for our beef. Alas, it comes not from a cow but from a factory in Middlesbrough so actually bears no resemblance to what a nice bovine produces.
I discovered good beef in Mexico, graduated to the USA before realising the best steaks must come from Texas. Well, they do but …….. a Texan told me in a whisper that when a they want good steaks, a man or woman from the Lone Star State flies to Argentina. So I did. There are so many great steak restaurants all over Argentina. The very best is Parilla Cero5 on Suipacha on Buenos Sires. With mashed potatoes not chips. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b7f90658f.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8879a94a4.jpeg Mash appeared a few moments later. H |

The photo is chorizo, which is sirloin. The other cuts I would order are ojo (rib eye) and lomo (fillet). I ate steak nearly everyday over four weeks and it was all great.
Steaks are also reliably good in Argentina. I went to Parilla Cero5 as it was close to the hotel I based myself in when in Buenos Aires between flights across the country. In Salta I praised the steak to the waiter and got free wine in return! Everywhere between Salta and Ushuaia had great steaks. I was disappointed in one famous but tourist restaurant in Retiro; they have some fancy cuts and one I had was lacking somewhat. Still good mind you! |
Thanks for the translation...I never would guess chorizo is sirloin!

It’s also a sausage of course, Castillian and Argentinian Spanish I guess ! Or context.
