    Roasted garlic so good

    This is the best food around. Eggplant awesome, steak awesome, roasted garlic awesome, wine awesome. You can't go wrong eating here. Italia would be proud of these chefs. Nicest service personnel. 5 stars. '80s music just a plus!!!!!

    The  master!

    Calden has it all! Amazing food, service and decor, add to that an expert grill master! Gracias

    The BEST papas fritas!

    A well known parilla among locals in Palermo SoHo that is low key but superb in every sense - from the service to the grill to the table. Just great. Consistently excellent at reasonable prices compared to the more touristy papilla's in the neighborhood.

    Food and service were great. Steak wasn't really seasoned but it and everything else were still good. Ambiance was cute for small parilla.

    Well I have to say that Calden of Soho still does not disappoint! Ezequiel our server really knocked it out of the park for us. On this outing we came for lunch and did not need to make a line but in the evenings things start to pickup, especially on Thursdays, Fridays and the weekends so show up early if you can. As with our last outing all good items and recommendations made by Ezekiel were excellent. For starters we ordered the Grilled Provoleta (Argentinian thick grilled Provolone cheese with Olive Oil) which was amazing. Next up we orders the "Lomo a La Champignon" (Tenderloin Steak with Mushroom Sauce) with potatoes "Au Gratin" and the "Bife de Chorizo" (Ribeye Steak). with mashed potatoes. All the steaks were incredibly tender and were cooked to perfection on their coal fired grill. Service was excellent but no where near the level of service we received at Don Benito Steakhouse the night before which is why I kept their grading at 4 stars. Rounding out our lunch today we went with some homemade Flan and some espressos to boot. Yep you guessed it, deserts and coffees were very good as well. As always I highly recommend that you walk over if you are staying in the Palermo Soho area of Buenos Aires. If not, then your best bet is to UBER or take a local taxi as parking could be problematic and why would you want to drive if you want to have some drinks or enjoy some wine anyway. "Calden of Soho" is definitely a must visit if you are visiting Buenos Aires. From my perspective you are getting a lot of value for the money you are spending. Wishing you all a great time in Argentina, Enjoy and Bon Appétit!

    So so soooo good!!! We were gonna wait for Don Julio (for 3 hours) but we were soooo hungry and we thought we would be wasting our time. Calden del Soho did not disappoint! Locals were eating there so I figured we made the right choice! We got the chitterlings for appetizer, two ribeye steaks, papas fritas, patagonia beer and of course malbec. Everything was sooo sooo sooo good! The steaks were huge and cooked to perfection! The complimentary bread and sauces were good too! I loooved that garlic in oil.

    Penne Rigate con Alfredo

    Greatest restaurant experience I've had here as a tourist. During my brief visit in Buenos Aires, I was looking for somewhere to eat that was walking distance. Reviews and pictures were good, so my mom and I went. We were seated promptly as we walked in. We noticed most of the patrons were dressed in formal wear, but we were not made to feel out of place. Our waiter was so kind and attentive, despite some if the challenges the language barrier presented. We each had a beef tenderloin empanada- so amazing. Best empanadas I've ever had. The meat was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. We had the "ensalada completo". Whatever dressing they used was good. It tasted of red berries, but it wasn't overwhelming. Next, my mom and I shared some of the "Ojo de Bife" as well as the "Penne Rigate" with Alfredo sauce. This Alfredo was the most pure and fresh I've had. The steak was so tender and flavorful. It was absolutely fantastic. We ordered it as well done or "to the point" and it was given to us more undercooked than we liked, but we figured the standard we have is likely different to those of locals. Still yummy. The 2 empanadas, the salad, pasta, steak, and bread had a grand total of $26,000 ARS, or around $29 USD with the current exchange rate. We had an absolutely amazing experience in every aspect. Fast service with a kind waiter, lovely romantic ambience, and unbeatable plates. I hope to return on a future visit.

    We were so excited to get here and eat some great steak. We arrived and they served some bread with a 3 condiments (chimichurra, garlic, and another one i didn't taste). We ended up ordering fillet mignon, cooked rare. It was definitely not rare by US standards and not consistent throughout, but the piece of meat was so big, we had enough rare to fill us up. It did not have as much flavor as I expected. Staff was fine, nothing out of the ordinary. my expectations were too high, but I would have probably gone somewhere else.

    If you want good beef this is the place in Buenos Aires. Any one who likes meat I would definitely go here.

    All the steaks are amazing.

    There are proably hundreds if not thousands of Parrillas here in Buenos Aires, and while many are…read morevery good, this is one of the better ones. The best part is that this is a locals restaurant, and it has such a great feel. The minute you walk inm you are welcomed by a friendly staff and led to a table, we chose upstairs and were quickly seated. Our waiter was friendly and jovial, and spoke great english. He recommended a Malbec, and then we ordered a bunch of food, which came quickly. As we dined, the placed filled up quickly, and looking around, there was not an empty table in the place- upstairs or down. The restaurnat has an Italian family feel, white table cloths and worn, but classy china. Plus the grill is amazing. Overall, this place is excellent, and a local friend who I dined with said he will be making this place one of his regular stops!

    This was my first lunch in Buenos Aires so how crazy am I to have booked dinner the very same day…read moreLet me tell you, when they say the plates are meant to be shared, they are not kidding. The portions here are massive. And that's coming from someone who can usually put away a pretty serious steak. Here, though It's a lot even for me. Was it good Absolutely. But a little heads-up if you're visiting: learn how Argentinians order their meat. If you ask for jugoso, it'll land somewhere between rare and medium rare. Al punto is closer to medium, sometimes even leaning toward medium well depending on the kitchen. And well done. Honestly... don't even think about it. Another tip: don't rush to order sides. Unless you're just getting a salad or you're sharing with more than two people, one plate is usually more than enough. Around here, they believe in feeding you properly and they definitely deliver.

    Monday lunch in May at Don Julio's in Buenos Aires. We arrived early hoping to snag a table but…read morethey told us there were none and to return in the afternoon to be placed on the walk-in waiting list. So we came back at 3. While we waited outside with the rest of the crowd they gave us champagne and mini empanadas. So good. At 3:30 we were sat at a nice table in a small room with a few others. The ambience was quiet luxury in a rustic setting. No loud music (or any I think), just soft murmurs of conversation and the tinkling of cutlery kissing dishes. I felt like royalty. Before ordering they brought us endive with a delicious arugula pesto (sauce was amazing!!), yummy bread rolls and butter. For starters we ordered provoleta (grilled provolone) and for the entree ribeye and porterhouse with sides of salad greens and baby Brussel Sprouts. And a glass of house wine. My steak was the best porterhouse I've ever had. Period. It was huge, so tender, so delicious. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. My mouth is watering as I write this. The ribeye was perfection! No wonder people come from all over the world to drop tons of money on a meal here. It is sooo worth it. The server kindly cut the bone off my steak and set it off to the side which made for an uncrowded eating experience. The simple salad was delicious as were the perfectly grilled baby Brussels sprouts. Even the house wine was good. We were too full for dessert but they brought us complimentary alfajoritos to end our meal. I highly recommend making reservations when you visit. Which is a must!!

    One of the most well known parrillas in all of Argentina and currently maintains one Michelin star…read more It's quite busy and very hard to get a reservation. I check a couple weeks out for any night of the week and only was able to find outside tables online. I came here on a Wednesday night around 10:30 in hopes of getting it less busy than a weekend night. I only had to wait about 15 minutes and also got a free glass of champagne and a mini empanda. As I came in they offered me a tour of the wine cellar which was full of unique and old wines. They have a massive wine offering which I think is one of the things that helps them out on the Michelin guide. It's a classic steakhouse offering, probably best approached by sharing a few cuts with a table. But as I was here by myself I went for the tasting menu so I could try more things. They brought over some bread to start with chimichurri, as well as an odd amuse bouche of a single endive leaf with a pretty bland green sauce. The first course started off with a thinly slice of beef kinda like jerky meets prosciutto. Very flavorful and tender, loved it. Second course was a sausage that was incredibly juicy and exploding with flavor, one of the best sausages I've ever had. Then came a sweetbread course which I've never had before. It was very unctuous and rich, bit too heavy for my taste and sort of made me want to stop eating at this point. It came with a very basic salad with simple vinaigrette. The next two courses were a ribeye broken into two components, the eye and the rib cap. The eye came with another equally bland salad. The cap came with a table side preparation of a sweet potato which was honestly quite comical. Fine dining is known for beautiful table side prep, but scooping out the inside of a sweet potato and spooning over melted butter is amusingly basic. With no other seasoning here but salt it was again, very bland. Steak was fantastic and juicy, a bit on the rarer side than I would normally go for but I think this is never given the unique leaner quality of Argentine beef. Chimichurri was classic, oddly I was offered a spicy chimichurri half way through my meal which I preferred, unsure why it wasn't brought sooner. Bread courses were very standard, again nothing spectacular here. The sommelier helped me pick out a couple glasses of wine and was generally very helpful and attentive. The wine I had was solid but nothing crazy, elected for some of the cheaper choices since this was the most expensive meal I had in all of Argentina. Pumpkin ice cream was nice though oddly lacking in sweetness for a country that seems to take many things very sweet. Overall, this is such a classic and well known place that I felt it would be wrong not to check it out, yet I had heard there are better places at cheaper price points and I would now say that is very true. The beef quality here is fantastic and prepared well. Staff is attentive and helpful. But this really just doesn't present a fine dining experience as you might expect for a Michelin star. It feels like it fits more into the bib gourmand category. And at this price point it's really hard to feel like the price is justified. I dined at other places for way less including another Michelin star that was a true fine dining experience for a little over half the price. Much more courses with each element thoroughly thought out. The bland salads and side elements here don't detract away from the meat but they don't bring anything else to the table either. They feel like they exist to be a line item on a menu and nothing more. While I'm glad I got to try this place out, I likely wouldn't come back. There are less busy places with just as good of steaks for much lower the cost.

Turned out a couple of Food tours were arriving soon. Lucky we were ordering takeaway. Smaller spot with just about an equal amount of in/outdoor seating. We ordered a couple of the Guest Chori's-The Juan Pedro Caballero (pork) and the Carneceria (beef). Juan Pedro had tortilla chips and peppers and the pork chorizo sausage was saltier than the beef. We ordered a Chimichurri sauce on the side and enjoyed it. We liked the Pork more than the Beef-just was more flavorful. The Bread was thick, soft and held up to the Choripan and condiments well. Potato salad with al dente potatoes was tasty. They also have beer and cocktails so ordered a Gin and Tonic while we waited for our order. Friendly people behind the counter. Food was ready in about 15 minutes. That said, I can see they could get busy and have longer wait times. Make this stop for local grilled sausage deliciousness.

They served mostly chori and one morci (blood) sausage sandwiches but with a twist with their toppings. You could get just the sandwich or combine with side and drink. I picked the Invitado Juan Pedro Caballero and the cashier hesitated before entering the order as she wanted me to know it was picante. I assured her it was not a problem and then paid with my credit card. After a short wait, they called my name and I picked up my choripan. it was quite the handful filled with layers of roasted peppers, tortilla chips, onions and lettuce. The tortilla chips were stale but overall I liked the flavors especially with the heat from the peppers and chipotle mayo. It was a nice twist on the popular choripan.
