It is inevitable that Buenos Aires will offer an abundance of choice selections for red meat centered meals and even "bad" options will be "good" but La Carnicería is a place that qualifies as great regardless of geography.
If you're at La Carnicería, it's not because you want a salad so appease your inner carnivore and embrace what will be a copious amount of meat cooked and presented perfectly . I dined alone at the counter after a wait of approximately 30 minutes, which was not bad at all given how busy the place was at 9 PM on a Sunday night.
I wanted to try the empanadas and was glad to give the a go but the star of the show was the parilla cut steak medium rare with chimi and pumpkin: no sides needed and melt in your mouth tender and delicious. I didn't think I had it in me to finish but the meat was too good to not savor. I managed to convince a fellow solo diner seated next to me to help with the bread pudding dessert and was glad to have ordered it.
The space is beautiful and a perfect place to scope out the cool set in Palermo. I would definitely like to return here and make my way through more of the menu the next time I'm in Buenos Aires. Definitely a place for high quality meat selections! read more
