4 of us stumbled upon this awesome restaurant. Make sure you reserve ahead of time (place is in high demand). Best meat I have ever had in Buenos Aires. I don't write many Yelp reviews but I had to for this place. They have free water if you ask for it. Enough said. read more

This hipster steakhouse leaves a lot to be desired. I went here based on a Condé Nast and Yelp reviews and had high expectations. I came to the restaurant twice and landed a table after having gone in person once before to make a reservation. The service, drinks, and food was not up to par considering the reviews. You are better off visiting one of the more traditional steakhouse in Buenos Aires even at this price point. If only the taste was as big as there steaks .... not a winner skip this place more of a hype short term success steakhouse. read more

Possibly the best meat I've ever had, accompanied by a welcoming ambience, great service, and unbelievable value. Anyone who knows me is aware that I'm serious about my meat. I've now had steak at just about every major restaurant in downtown Buenos Aires and Palermo Soho. And I declare in full sincerity that no other meat even comes close to what is served here at La Carniceria. Overwhelmingly good. They know their game and play it well, putting extreme care into the seasoning and cooking of every piece that they prepare (this can be seen plainly from anywhere in the restaurant, as the grill is displayed prominently behind the bar). It comes out brilliantly presented, like a wrapped gift, and the result is nothing short of perfect. The service, meanwhile, is second to none. You're your server's best friend from the moment you walk in, although he won't give you any more attention than you want or need. Sit at the bar and everyone is dedicated to meeting your every interest without the smallest delay. Incomparable. Also note that the portions are monstrous. The meat tends to be 1.5 inches or 5 centimeters thick, almost a project to complete, even for a bottomless stomach like mine. And yet, most incredibly, the prices are entirely accessible, proving that Carneceria is achieving success through pure excellence and serving their clientele above and beyond expectations. In other words, we keep coming back again and again simply because they're the best. read more

La Carnicería definitely lived up to expectations. My partner and I both had the steak and it was cooked so perfectly. Just fantastic steak - one of the best I can recall. Period. We had the potato side to go along with our main dish and we shared the chorizo appetizer dish - both excellent as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you want to eat delicious Argentinian steak. The waiters were very good and attentive. I appreciate that one of the waiters knew English and was more than willing to assist with our questions. I recommend making a reservation! They fill up quickly since it is a small place. read more

This place was amazing! The food and wine were delicious, and the service was great!! We were lu my to be seated right away even without a reservation. read more

By far the best place to eat high quality beef. The For starters, the blood sausage (morcilla) was awesome, crispy outside, not creamy on the inside and full of flavor. The sweetbread (molleja) was also a incredible, the mix of ingredients they use makes it a delicacy. For main courses we asked for the smoked cut, much better than expected with lots of flavors and aroma, the bone is removed with no effort and the meat is tender. The pork cut was also great, nicely cooked and juicy on the inside. Last, the bread pudding, one of my favourites, comes with a ball of vanilla ice cream and guava jam. Make sure to call and make a reservation due to the limited tables. read more

Excellent boutique restaurant in Buenos Aires. We stumbled upon this restaurant while looking for another highly rated restaurant in the Palermo area of Buenos Aires and were very pleased with their service, great food and price. If you are looking for great food, excellent service and reasonably priced meals, this is certainly a restaurant you should visit. read more

Excellent. We had a massive steak and some ribs from their smoker (which is unusual in Argentina, different then US smoked meats, but very very good), a delicious grilled cabbage/broccoli/zuccini salad and great gin and tonics. It was fun to eat at the bar and watch the grill action. I am Argentine but I live in the US, I went with my Argentine cousin, and he loved it too. Its expensive for Argentina standards but worth it. Simple, well thought out menu, excellent meat, great starters, cozy atmosphere. read more

Came here after finding this somewhat hidden gem on Yelp. We made a reservation, as recommended, and it was very needed! We saw many groups turned away. La Carniceria is a small 9 table restaurant that feels very hipster trendy. Coming from Chicago and NY, this place keeps up! We enjoyed really delicious gin and tonics, along with their pork ribs, cabbage appetizer, homemade breads, and chorizo. All the food was absolutely spectacular and extremely creative. The cabbage and chorizo were served in ways I haven't experienced before, and everything was a burst of flavor. The waiter was exceptional, very buttoned up and professional. Prices here can't be beat. We spent about $55USD and felt as though it was a $200 meal in the US. Very recommended for foodies! read more

This is one of the trendiest and finest places to eat in Palermo SOHO. A friend (Alejandro from the Sabato Foundation) recommended the place to us and the experience was exquisite. Make sure you reserve calling first. read more

I'm going to summarize what everybody else said. The wait staff is amazing. Very congenial warm friendly. The gin and tonic, this is the best Gin and tonic I've ever had in my life. It's a bit of a creeper, it taste very fresh and not stingingly alcoholic but gets you there. If you are a solo diner you are in luck because there's usually a room at the bar. Surprisingly the restaurant is incredibly small so expect to wait read more

We are so lucky to be living a block from the best parilla in BA. This place rocks. Great big steaks served by a "family" of wait staff. We have been twice. The first time, the restaurant lost power and they had to close down. We came back a few days later and they cut our bill in half! The gin and tonic lives up to the hype. The dudes spend a good two minutes whipping a thyme leaf or something at the glass. And the work is worth it. Smooth, fragrant and delicious. The tomato salad was very solid. The cheese appetizer was excellent. We split the bife de chorizo and two baked potatoes. The steak was one of the best I've had...and so was the potato. Go there. Be a part of the hipster crowd and give yourself props for doing BA outside of TripAdvisor. read more

Whenever I travel, I always look for amazing restaurants. Started off with the provoleta. It was so delicious that they were even able to smoke the cheese as well. I have been on the search for the best pork belly and I must say, I think I have found it. Here on vacation from the US. The meat was tender and the skin a nice crisp chicharron. I could not get enough of this dish. Served with some beautiful potatoes and pickled fennel. Ugh. Reservation already made for Sunday before I leave. This is a must go to place read more

Easily the best meat that ive ever had and mind you they are HUGE. It was definitely my highlight meal in the city. There are only 2 seatings at 8:30pm and 10:30pm so make sure you reserve your seats before going. Staff and service are amazing. I recommend getting the ones from the pictures i just posted read more

Was looking for a last minute place to grab a bite, and they let us in without a reservation so long as we left within an hour for guests expected to arrive. It looked popular, so we went for it. The staff was friendly and the food was good. Really good. The place is really attractive and both the mixologists and the chefs were *extremely* talented. We got some meats and some drinks, and both were well above our expectations. The flavors were perfect and exciting. read more

La Carnicería - Gin and tonics with sage and pickles. - Steakhouses Near Me - Buenos Aires, C

Amazing dinner. Started with the gin and tonic while we waited an hour for the table. and it was worth the wait! We shared the grilled cabbage and blood sausage. Each of us has the steak and shared a bottle of wine. I haven't had a steak in years and this exceeded expectations. A must try when in BA read more

Great value and most delicious steak in BA. It's a small restaurant and we sat at the bar to eat. Call early to get a reservation! I had a gin and tonic - just wonderful and I am experienced . And I watched the bartender make them the rest of the night and he does each one with great care. Each had a long thin slice of cucumber and a sprig of leaves that I couldn't place but might have been from a citrus. So enough with the gin and tonic. The steaks are the reason to come. They are indescribable. Thick, delicious, cooked on a wood fired grill to perfection. The service is incredibly good. The staff all help each other and are both pleasant and helpful. I don't speak any real Spanish and they worked with me with good humor to help me order.. read more

I had the best molleja here ever! They also had a fab cheese appetizer! The smoked beef ribs could have been better though. I should have gone for the grilled T-bone instead. read more

One of the best, if not THE best, steak places in town. If you're looking for something other than carne, well, not the place. The menu isn't really huge, since the few options they serve are very gourmet style and prepared for hours, so this won't disappoint you. If you like gin tonic, order one, they are great, else you can stick with the wine. MUST VISIT if you're in BA. read more

This place iS absolutely awesome. Having been going here since it opened. When inArgy, you cannot beat this place. Try their wild boar or venison for a change up. The service is superb, prices are great. Seriously after 15 years coming to Argentina on Biz, this is the place for meat lovers. Make sure to reserve and arrive on time, small place and after 10 mins they give your reserve to someone else. Well worth it!! read more

Best sweetbreads and blood sausage I have ever had... EVER. To die for. Had the rib eye and it was ginormous. All for a very, very reasonable price. If I come back to BA, I'll be back here for sure. In fact I want to go back for lunch, if they are open for lunch!! read more

As soon as we tried this place I knew we would miss it when we left Buenos Aires. The atmosphere is great and the food is DELICIOUS. The restaurant is family owned and their meat is sourced from their farm. We ate here twice while we were in the city and I wish we could go back right now! read more

One of the best steaks I've ever had. It was already on the grill before I was seated because they have a limited menu and the two inch monster of a cut takes a bit to cook. I didn't have a reservation, but as a singleton I was able to grab a spot at the small bar by showing up right at opening then waiting for a no show reservation. This place only has a few tables and two seatings (8 and 10:30), but if you are lucky enough to eat there they don't rush you out. But, several walk-ins were turned away. Make a reservation! The tourist next to me tried to order a steak well done and they flat out refused saying they wouldn't waste meat on such a request. Brilliant. The dessert was disappointing: canned peaches and a sad cream. Eat the mains and find dessert elsewhere. read more

The best dish that I had in Buenos Aires were the sweetbreads atop a cornbread pancake, drizzled with honey. It sounds bizarre, but it was great. The provoleta was also very good. I also ordered the boar, which was good. My friends had the ribs, which they both found a little fatty. The space is nice, and service is a little brisk, but efficient and friendly. read more

Fantastic steak and atmosphere. Consistently, people say it it is just the best place for an Argentine meal. Make your reservation well in advance! This place is small and reservations fill up exceptionally fast. It is much more expensive than other parrillas. Expect to pay a lot. read more

Make a reservation because this place gets packed and loud. The appetizers: beef tongue in a leche de tigre and chorizo, initiated the food coma. The Steak: 2 inch ribeye cooked to perfection ( totally shareable), started phase 2 of food coma. Phase 3: since the boar was off the menu we went for the replacement: roast of deer rump. Food coma complete. Ps. My lady friend said the specialty gin and tonics were some of the best of her life. read more

This is a can't miss, must try, a home run, a home away from home. My wife and I stayed at the hotel next door for 2 weeks and we ate at La Carniceria 3 times. We tried multiple steak houses Don Julio (2nd favorite), La Brigada (not worth the money), la Escondida, and etc but La Carniceria was our favorite by a mile. The restaurant is owned by 2 brothers (chef and front of the house - Ariel) and they get their meat from the family farm. All the other servers are hometown friends of the brothers and they are equally awesome. Everyone made us feel very comfortable while eating some amazing food. Give it a try! You won't be disappointed. read more

Delicious sweet breads and blood sausage. We were trying to go to Don Julio and came here instead, we were not disappointed! Great service and delicious food. read more

La Carnicería - Cute cocktail! - Steakhouses Near Me - Buenos Aires, C

Enjoy this place while in a business trip. Pretty small but oh my the bbq is one of the bests I had in there. If you visit BA you MUST go to this place. read more

Simply superb! Only problem is the acoustics, it's so freaking loud in here. The beef ribs and aged stead are one of the best in BA.

I have been back 2 times since my last review and the quality and service continues to exceed my expectations. The gin and tonics are excellent. The provoleta with peaches is like nothing else in the country. Once again the ahumado meat and chorizo were cooked to perfection. If you have never been to a parilla, by all means try one of the classic places (Peña, La Cabrera, Don Julio, etc). But for the price, quality, service, and friendliness, La Carniceria can't be beat. Make sure to make a reservation. read more

A tourist trap. Large servings, true; but of very average food. Bad acoustics made it impossible to have a conversation. Tables were so close to each other that when someone spilled wine on their table most of it fell on my husband's pants. All in all a forgettable experience for the most expensive meal we've had in Buenos Aires. Walk one block in any direction and you can get better food and a better experience at a better price. read more

The steak was perfect. The gin & tonic was worth having. We came here on a whim on Sunday. They keep the dooe locked unless the see you waiting. But wait and step in and be transformed to steak heaven. read more

great service and great food, we did not wait much to have lunch, it is always crowded in spite of being a bit pricey

I'm writing two reviews for this place. Because the food is as good as it gets. Best meat I have ever had. The vegetables are insanely great. And there are a lot of them. The gin and tonics are incredible. The chef dude is cool as hell. Me and my lady were hanging out outside and he said to come on in, even though the guard at the door had told us the place was closed for the night. It was a night we'll never forget and I'm still fiending for the food. That said... We went back and there was another guard at the door. Who happened to be the server we had when we went the first night. French dude. You'll know him if you go around now. He spoke to us in Spanish and said no, there was no room, even though there were four empty tables and spots at the bar... and even though, two nights earlier, when he'd served us, smile on his face, he had spoken English to us. What a D-bag. Did we not look hip enough that night? Was it an anti-American thing? Because he let in two Argentines who did not have reservations either and came up right after us. Which, in a way, is also a great Buenos Aires experience. Because Buenos Aires is crazy like that. read more

We had a great time at La Carniceria. It's best to share the rib eye as the meat portions are quite large. We enjoyed the cheese dish, the sweetbreads, and chorizo. The gin and tonics were quite refreshing after having bottles of Malbec with our steaks at other restaurants. Great little restaurant with a nice twist on the Argentine Parilla. read more

The food was amazing but they didn't have 2 out of 4 meals of the main menu so I ended up going for my third choice. I would go again but early so they still have stock read more

La Carniceria continues to be my favorite BsAs indulgence, after a few dozen visits. I love the bar when I'm here solo (although it does get toasty so close to el horno, pero its comfortable and the service is perfect. The roasted provolone with pesto and roasted pear is sensational. I've tried to duplicate it, but their firewood really makes the difference. On last week's visit I had the pork, again so intensely seasoned and perfectly prepared. The gin with lime and wine goes great with everything. Do make a reserva, do plan on a relaxed and long meal. Genial! Perfecto! read more

Don't even question it. If you want "the best steak ever" as my boyfriend said, go to La Carniceria. It's a beautiful little place with helpful staff and a small but delicious menu. I don't eat meat or dairy, but really wanted to take my boyfriend out for steak. Usually when I go someplace with meat in the name, I don't expect a crazy good meal for myself. I was very pleasantly surprised at how accommodating the staff was with my strange eating habits. I enjoyed a delicious fire roasted salad without yogurt and a very good baked potato(I couldn't finish the other one). And if you've heard of their gin and tonic, don't question that either. Just get one. Enjoy!! read more
