La Cabrera

Excellent restaurant !
Viandes délicieuses ! Accompagnements au top et la surprise d’avoir au moins une dizaine de préparations servies en petits pots pour accompagner le diner (pickles, compotes, salades etc…).
Service excellent par ailleurs !

Vinimos en grupo laboral y trajimos a una extranjera. No saben lo bien que nos atendieron!
El mozo nos recomendó vino y nos armó un menú degustación (achuras, ensaladas y varios cortes de carne) aunque no existiera así en la carta.
Las entradas son muy ricas y súper abundantes! Y nos dieron unos traguitos de cortesía.
Honestamente, volvería mil veces! Si bien la parrilla no me resultó nada de otro mundo (y es cara), la atención fue excelente.

Overpriced, overhyped and an unnecessary addition to the Buenos Aires food scene. My ojo de bife was so fatty that it was virtually inedible and my husband’s was only marginally better. The complimentary sides were better than the items we actually ordered although the wine was good. The service was fabulous but unfortunately didn’t make up for the fact that the steak served at this steakhouse left little to be desired.

Beautiful restaurant, people, service & FOOD! The Chorisan starter was delicious & the chimichurri was GREAT! I must have asked for like 5 more of those lil jars for my food today. I highly suggest eating here. And they were super awesome w my son. On the tail end of our lunch he started getting antsy and wanted out of his seat. They brought out the treasure chest full of kids toys and let him have this hot wheels like car & a light up frog.

Muy caro pero muy rico. De lo mejor en parrilla de todo Capital Federal. Muy recomendables las achuras y los cortes de carne con poca grasa (bife de chorizo, vacío, lomo, etc). Los postres son muy buenos también!

I don’t usually leave reviews but felt obligated to because of the insane hype and stellar reviews around this place. We were told that this place was not to be missed so we made an online reservation for 8:30pm (thinking it would be quieter, because it is such an early dining hour) several weeks before our vacation. We showed up at the door at 8:20 and it was mobbed with maybe 30 people all with reservations scrabbling to get in. The hostess was beyond incompetent and the reservation didn’t seem to matter anyway. She seated the loudest and most forceful people and then when it was our turn she told us we were late and the restaurant was full (as well as many other people). We told her we were on time… we couldn’t even get her attention at all until about 9pm. So my advice is that the reservation doesn’t matter. Don’t even bother. They seem to just massively overbook. She then started a waiting list that she also couldn’t seem to keep track of and actually called people out of order. After waiting for an hour and a half we were finally seated. It was completely insane and unnecessary. Quite unlike all our other BA experiences. We even showed her the reservation and asked why they had them if they made no attempt to use them, but it didn’t matter (as did many others). It seems to be the norm there and they like creating fake artificial scarcity perhaps. We probably should have left but we killed time by reading the Unilocal reviews and felt like it was worth seeing what it was all about.
When we were seated, we ordered a ribeye. The waiter asked for a temp which surprised us, because we thought they don’t do temps in the traditional sense. We chose medium rare. We also got a bottle of wine and the sides. The sides were very salty. I don’t understand the reason why people rave about them. A tiny pot of very salty mashed potatoes doesn’t impress me. The steak came out well done. We were glad we didn’t upgrade to the Kobe. It was very under salted.
On a plus, the waiter was nice enough and we weren’t rushed at all. We were there for several hours killing off the wine. By 11 the place was dead, hence the artificial scarcity thing. So if you do go, go late.
And to cap the night off, the waiter made sure to emphasize that tip wasn’t included.

Te doy cinco pero insisto la brigada es mejor. me sorprendes con las cazuelitas o mini salad bar traído a la mesa. Los platos son para compartir. me gustaba más la espinaca a la crema que humita a la crema que dan hoy… pero las dos excelentes. En el fondo lo que quiero decir es… me puedes traer mitad de los 4 medallones de lomo a la pimienta que pedí…y cobrarme la mitad?. Lomo a la pimienta 450 pesos a Enero 2016…700 grs… Quiero la mitad y para compartir!

My husband and I went to La Cabrera for their «happy hour» (40% off) per a recommendation from our guide during a free walking tour. We got there around 6:45 and We had to wait outside until 7 to be seated (they were slightly rude but our waiter later made up for it) but they honored the order that people showed up in.
We didn’t realize how big the portions would be and ordered way too much! A starter (mozzarella, jamón crudo/​prosciutto, tomato y arugula), a salad (avocado, tomato, hard boiled egg), and two steaks (Kobe wagyu and bife de chorizo). My Kobe had two steaks! It was way more flavorful and tasty than the other (take note that the other didn’t actually come with chorizo… maybe I misunderstand what chorizo is). The salads/​starters were good but needed a little salt or olive oil (i think this is just our American tastes vs Argentinean/​planner tastes). They also gave us some little sides which were mostly really good (like the mashed potatoes and cheesy corn dish) with some being too sweet for our liking (again, I think this is just a cultural difference).
We also had a bottle of wine… and all this came to about US$ 60. Totally worth it (especially considering we have enough leftovers for another meal). But my advice would be for two people order only one wagyu between the two of you, and MAYBE one salad or starter.

Really a 3.5 review. Wasn’t really impressed. It felt very much like ‘the scene’ for us.
Firstly, we got sat in the Norte branch one block away even though the main wasn’t full. We had all our bags with us bc we had a 5 hour layover when transferring from AEP Jorge Newbery to Ezeiza. The hostess then sat us next to another 6-​top of Asians, which meant we had very little space, and she didn’t want to move us even after we requested a bigger table where we could store our 3 rolling luggages better.
Ordering was a little difficult even though there were English translations and I can read some Spanish. I still had some questions and the staff didn’t speak any English to help. It was also on the slow side though admittedly we showed up at 3pm when they close at 4pm. There was a 100 peso cubierto which may have come from us picking many of the sides that were offered (though they told us it was complimentary).
But what really mattered on top of all that was the meat quality (while above avg) just wasn’t as good as what we had at Parrilla Pena (see my review on that). The steaks bled too much fat and the char on top was overbearing (blackened to a solid crust, which I’m pretty sure is just burned in a sense). Also not as cheap and I didn’t think the ambience was worth paying the extra pesos for. A decent place to go to for the West Village-​like neighborhood I guess.

Hay un millón de reviews de La Cabrera así no voy a extenderme mucho. Se come muy bien y las porciones son abundantes, los precios son altos (a menos que usen las promos, ahí se moderan un poquito) y la atención en mi caso fue excelente.
Como dato que no había leido antes, yo tengo dos nenas chiquitas y les trajeron un baúl con juguetes para que eligieran dos como regalo. Nada mejor que un chiche nuevo de Peppa Pig para entrerenerlas y poder disfrutar la cena en paz. Eso fue un golazo.

I enjoyed my time at La Cabrera but I do think it’s a little overrated and overpriced. For starters after 2 weeks of traveling around Argentina, this was the highest table charge/​cubierto (52 pesos) of any restaurant I went to in Argentina. Whatever.
I went for lunch because I realized there wasn’t much to do in Palermo so waiting around for the happy hour special wasn’t worth it. The menu was easy enough to follow and I ordered the medium sized bife de ojo medium rare. I also ordered the provoleta at the suggestion of a friend as an appetizer and then a side of fries with grilled onions.
The steak was juicy and cooked right, but no seasoning. I found that to be the case throughout Argentina. As much as I hate salt, I needed to salt and definitely pepper my food there. Also, I thought this steak was a bit too fatty and the marbled ribeye didn’t get cooked down as much. The provoleta isn’t awesome. As much as I’m a cheese fan, I just thought it was too rich and once it gets lukewarm it’s not worth eating anymore. The side of fries were very very good. There’s a bread basket but it was just meh. I also had a half bottle of wine that all in all wasn’t very good either. In retrospect, I should have just ordered a bottle and taken the rest home.
The lollipop tree was fun to snack on as I’m not much of a dessert person. The service was fine, it was very busy at 4pm. There are some vendors who make their way in the restaurant to sell their wares. The bathrooms are quasi-​unisex.

We were celebrating another week of our adventures in Buenos Aires and picked this place for our dinner.
For our meal we shared an order of Wagyu Beef 500g. It comes with a selection of sides and a salad. Perfect for two!
Bottle of Malbec kept us warm and happy.
Dinner was $ 1200 pesos, including tip.

Touted as the one of the best steakhouses in BA, we came to La Cabrera for our last lunch in Argentina. The place is huge, and we were seated quickly even though we didn’t have a reservation on a Saturday afternoon. Seems like it was very popular among tourists, but we saw a few locals here and there too who seemed very happy to be there. Having tried Don Julio the night before, and hearing that they were somewhat comparable, we were curious to see how they stacked against each other.
We went with the large ojo de bife (600g ribeye), jamon crudo with burrata, and a side of papas fritas (french fries) with caramelized onions. The ribeye was flavorful, if not even a little on the fattier side for Argentinian beef, and the jamon crudo was delicious, as well as the creamy burrata. The papas fritas were unreal, as the caramelized onions added a good amount of flavor, and the fries were still really crispy, despite being wedge cut.
When we first glanced at the menu, we realized that the prices were higher than most of the steakhouses we had tried in the area, with our steak being about AR$ 450 for the 600g ojo de bife, and the appetizers were a tick more expensive as well. However, after ordering, we realized that there were so many free little side dishes that they gave us, including different breads, chimichurri and pickled vegetables, salads with all the fixings, a pimento-​cheese like dish, some curry rice and even a lollipop tree at the end of the meal. Initially, we didn’t think the dishes were going to be enough, but we ended up being stuffed. Service was pretty on point, and they really know their service routines, with all the different sides to be served and such.
This really was a great steak experience. I would say that the experience at Don Julio is just plain different from the one at La Cabrera, so it’s not really worth comparing the two. Regardless, if you want some good steak, wine, and service, you should look no further than La Cabrera.

We loved this place if not for the huge steaks, and the tasty sides, for the insane dessert platter. WHAT?! Who eats that? Well, apparently I do. All of it. It was like the equivalent of a sugar atom bomb. It totally wrecked me for two days but was so worth it. Cool décor here too.

This place is WAHOU! service is one of the best I’ve ever had, the waiters are simply perfect! Not overwhelming, present just as needed. The food… get ready for some all the most Argentinian meat cuisine! I didn’t venture trying the intestines but my colleagues enjoyed it quite well. I had the tortilla Espanola (DELICIOUS) and the salad with hearts of artichokes, everything tasty like heaven!!! They brings little attentions throughout the meal and add-​on to any plate so don’t order too much food!
The ambiance was pretty interesting as well, vintage products all around, theme of aviation, the place isn’t huge inside but you have this cosy and almost at-​home feeling! It’s a must try in Buenos Aires and don’t forget to book a table in advance or call to check availabilities. Disfruta!

Fui el viernes a cenar y recién hoy pude recuperar mi salud estomacal para reseñar este lugar. Lo puedo resumir a un solo concepto: UNADELASMEJORESPARRILLASQUETIENETODOBUENOSAIRES. Éramos 5: mi papá y mi hermana compartieron una porción de entraña (600gr de pura carne, sobró), mi mamá pidió media porción de bife angosto con panceta (esa panceta es algo que todos necesitamos probar alguna vez) y mi novio y yo compartimos una porción de mollejas grilladas (que fueron las mejores que alguna vez probé). De acompañamiento: 1 ensalada de rúcula y parmesano (súper abundante), 1 porción de papas fritas con huevos revueltos y 1 porción de papas fritas comunes. TREMENDO TODO. Además de eso, todo el tiempo te traen cosas aparte para que pruebes y acompañes tu plato, en unos vasitos de metal: choclo con queso parmesano, puré de calabaza, corazón de alcaucil, tortilla de papa, aceitunas rellenas, mix de cebolla y morrones, de lo que se te ocurra. También, trajeron dos bandejas con 4 purés distintos: de papa, de calabaza, de manzana y de banana. Les juro que nunca vi algo igual. Ni postre pudimos pedir de todo lo que habíamos comido. Al final, cuando te traen la cuenta, te acercan a la mesa un árbol (si, un árbol) de chupetines para que te agarres los que quieras. Conclusión: VAYAN.
Pros: 50% con galicia eminent, 20% con club la nación/​clarín 365, 10% si reservas la mesa por restorando. SE ACUMULAN.
Contras: es carísimo, sin las promociones no podes comer.

Excellent restaurant in Palermo, BA. It was the last night of our Argentinian trip and my two friends and I of course wanted to finish with good meat and wine. During our trip we had met 4 French guys who told us they had been to this place 3 nights in a row, it was positively mentioned in the Lonely Planet guidebook and the concierge service in our hotel also recommended it. We arrived on a Saturday night at 10.40 am and the waiting line was still 30 minutes, you immediately feel this restaurant is an institution in the neighborhood. We were really motivated to try it and on top of it they gave us a nice welcome drink and we got to sit outside under heaters which made the waiting easy. The service was not incredible but the restaurant was very crowded and our Spanish sucks so I won’t be too hard on them. We were sitting next to the grill and it was nice to see all the huge pieces of meat being cut and cooked. I wanted to finish my trip as I started it with bife de chorizo and both of my friends ordered sweetbreads. We chose for the smallest portion we could get, 400g (while the waiter recommended to take 700g). As side we asked arugula with parmesan which actually wasn’t necessary at all since our meals came with many (many!) small sides (mashed potatoes, tomatoes, coleslaw, mais, salad, eggplants, all kind of sauces, …). The quality of my meat was great, it tasted good and all the sides were delicious. The only negative thing is the quantity. I don’t like to waste so I forced myself to finish my plate but it is so huge that at the end you get a disgusting feeling (and I swear, I can eat a lot!). If you go there, I recommended you to share a dish for 2 and not order any extra sides.

Tuvimos una gran experiencia en La Cabrera, gracias al almuerzo organizado por Unilocal que ganamos. (¿Ven? Hay que ser Elite, muchachos (?)) Leyendo reseñas más antiguas me encuentro con que varios tuvieron experiencias negativas, pero la nuestra no podría estar más lejos.
Con Sabrina llegamos a un acuerdo para definirla: «comimos como hijos de p***». Cuando llegamos nos encontramos con varios grupos de personas esperando, entre 10 o 15, y convengamos que fuimos 15 minutos antes de que abriera el local. Parece que el tema de las reservas no cambió mucho, estalla de gente.
Con mucha amabilidad el mozo nos trajo la degustación de entrada, un chorizo espectacular con varias salsas, empanadas de carne fritas (un poco demasiado jugosas) y una provoleta ENORME. Todo esto lo compartimos con gusto, no hacía falta más, pero…
Como plato principal nos trajeron una porción de lomo y una de ojo de bife. No solo la calidad de la carne era muy buena, sino que estaba bien cocida y a los puntos que habíamos pedido. Junto con la carne nos trajeron una bandeja enorme de acompañamientos dispuestos de una manera particular: no traen una ensalada, por ejemplo, sino muchos vasitos pequeños para poder degustarlos todos.
Cuando nos retiraron los platos el mozo nos dijo que todavía nos esperaba el postre, que consistió en cuatro bochas de helado artesanal de varios sabores, junto con una rica salsa de frambuesa y arándanos.
En resumen, todo fue muy rico y abundante, y la atención es espectacular. Pero también tiene algunos puntos negativos:
*No piensen en ir sin reserva, siempre se va a llenar.
*La decoración deja un poco qué desear, más que una parrilla parece un TGI Friday’s, por lo cargado que está el ambiente.
*Por lo que vimos en la carta, los precios son bastante altos, más de 300 – 400 pesos por persona seguro.
Pero describiendo nuestra experiencia: ¡Increíble!

¡Qué experiencia! Con Juan nos pusimos de acuerdo para definirla como «comimos como hijos de p — «. Así fue.
Nos dieron una degustación de la carta que nos dejó más que conformes y sin poder respirar.
Empezamos atacando la canasta de panes (mala idea, después no habría más espacio para comida) con manteca y con una pasta que no recuerdo qué tenía, pero era muy buena.
Después, como entrada un chorizo increíble con chimichurri y salsa criolla, empanadas de carne fritas y una provleta que pese a estar algo quemadita estaba muy buena.
Le siguió, naturalmente, la parte de platos principales: lomo y ojo de bife, ambos bastante buenos (y eso que no soy muy fanática del asado, ¡no me peguen!). Daban una cantidad enorme de acompañamientos para la carne, pero yo elegí tomates cherry. Había muchos más pero realmente no recuerdo todos. Lo siento mucho.
Sin embargo, la estrella para mí fue la gloriosa humita. Oh, esa humita, tenía mucho sabor. La amé.
«Miren que todavía viene el postre», nos dijo el mozo, y casi morimos de felicidad. Eran cuatro bochas de helado de crema americana, dulce d eleche, frambuesa y otra que era como crema con frambuesa (la más rica de todas, para mí), con unos cucuruchos coloridos arriba. Hermoso y adorable.
No quiero dejar de mencionar la excelente atención del mozo: siempre ocn una sonrisa pro que no parecía forzada, un comentario amable y dispuesto a explicar cada plato. ¡Excelente todo!

Was told by many people that this was the place to go in BA for an authentic parrilla experience. Heard that they have a discount during their happy hour between 7 – 8 but didn’t realize that the entire meal had to be ordered and eaten between 7 – 8. We arrived around 7:20 and got a table quickly, ordering is relatively fast since the menu is pretty classic and straight forward. On to the food:
Appetizer– caprese salad and empanadas: salad was fine, ingredients weren’t super fresh but passable. Carne empanadas had a great savory filling with chunks of well seasoned meat in a light sauce, but the empanadas had not been drained properly and were still too oily from the fryer. Bread with butter and chicken pâté were also on the table while ordering– all 3 were ok, nothing special
Entrée– split the rib eye and sirloin strip– both were cooked properly (a nice medium rare), the rib eye was definitely more tender and flavorful. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem like the steaks had been allowed to rest prior to serving as the juice came leaking out as we cut into the steak. The steak was served with great mini sides of chimichurri, salsa criolla and pickled vegetables. Also ordered a side of mashed potatoes– pretty awful, very watery, have had boxed spuds with more flavor/​better texture
Dessert– we got to pick from a lollipop tree as dessert is not allowed during happy hour
Overall the empanadas and steaks were flavorful, if more time had been spent to ensure they were ready to be served, there probably would be another star added to the score…
If you want to check out the happy hour, be sure to get there right at 7 to ensure enough time without feeling rushed. The happy hour discount is 40% off the entire check so definitely worth it if meat is the primary goal

This was my favorite restaurant while in buenos aires! Food was delicious. We had the churrasquito with a salad and papas criolla. One order can feed 3 – 4 people! The cut of the meat was very nice along w the bacon. Service was great, very attentive.

Excellent food, our final lunch in Argentina. Great ambiance, excellent food and wines that are well paired with the food served. It’s a nice place a bit more expensive but worth the quality and ambiance!
I had the butterfly cut (800gr) and a bottle of Nieto Senetiner Malbec of course from Luján de Cuyo. Awesome lunch to close off 4 wonderful days in Buenos Aires!

Lo que mas me llamaba de este lugar era la hamburguesa de carne kobe. Fui, la probe y fue amor. El plato es super abundante, y se le suman muchas salsas y dips que traen aparte. El ambiente esta bueno, una decoracion sutil pero muy linda.

Amorrr por este lugar, si quiero buen ambiente, buena atención y buena carne voy aca. Sin dudarlo! Alguna que otra vez me ha tocado un mozo menos amable/​atento que otro… pero nunca fui mal atendida. Cortes probe todos y todos ricos, a mi particularmente me gusta la carne roja… jugosa y cortes sin hueso, pero aca encontras de todo. También comi pastas y estaban bueniiismas! Los postres un 100 !

Cinco estrellas, de una. Fuimos invitados a probar un almuerzo y salimos CHOCHOS.
La atención de La Cabrera fue de 10 de principio a fin, desde la recepción hasta el último momento en que nos saludamos con el mozo súper amable que nos sirvió. El menú era de tipo criollo, y fue a los bifes, literalmente: empanada frita de carne y mollejitas deliciosas para arrancar, junto a unos acompañamientos variados muy ricos; luego matambrito de cerdo que estaba impresionante, y también tira de asado de un tamaño que pocas veces vi en mi vida. La carne: un 10, tierna, sabrosa, al punto justo. Para acompañar todo eso, venían unas simpáticas cazuelitas que podés elegir de entre 30 (ajos caramelizados, puré de manzana, guacamole, tapenade de olivas, tomatitos, etc.), además de una ensalada de tres lechugas, parmesano y una vinagreta buenísima. Todo amenizado con un delicioso vino Malbec que fue un perfect match para la comida. Para el postre: degustación de helados artesanales hechos ahí mismo, también súper ricos. De cierre, y para bajar un poco la comida, un riquísimo cafecito con unos bombones de chocolate negro y blanco que dieron el toque especial.
El local es muy lindo y está lleno de extranjeros (eso se sabe) que le sacan foto a cada cosita que les sirven en la mesa.
La Cabrera cumplió. Nos fuimos contentos, satisfechos (muy), y con la promesa de volver en otro momento a probar todas las otras cosas de menú que se veían geniales.

La Cabrera es un lugar demencial, posta, de esos que cumplen con todas las expectativas que le pone uno y en donde TODO ESTÁ BIEN. Ya el restaurant en sí es muy bonito, cómodo y uno se siente como en casa desde que cruza la puerta de entrada, pero aparte de ésto debo decir que he ido a pocos sitios en donde la atención sea tan buena, posta que esas horas en las que estas en esta encantadora parrilla palermitana te van a hacer sentir como un rey.
Pero bueno, acá todos van por la carne, especialmente bocha de extranjeros, y por algo es que eso sucede. Todo es sumamente rico, desde las empanadas fritas de carne que suelen servir de entrada hasta los distintos cortes vacunos y de cerdo que son un lujo. Hay que decir que las mollejas son excelentes, tienen un matambrito de cerdo que es la gloria y también probé un asado de tira que estaba más que bueno.
Algo especial del lugar es que con la carne te traen para que elijas una bandejas con una animalada de guarniciones de todo tipo, deben ser más de ¡veinte! de las cuales podes seleccionar a gusto, desde salsa criolla, ensaladas, berenjenas, unos purés de papa o manzana que son un golazo y bocha de cosas más, lo cual siempre viene incluido con el plato principal.
Una cuestión re loca de La Cabrera es que elaboran su propio helado artesanal, sí una parrilla que hace helado. LIME, encima es delicioso, te sirven cuatro bochas de sabores distintos las cuales son todas muy ricas e ideales para compartir. También hay que decir que el café es muy bueno y que con este siempre te traen unos bomboncitos de chocolate. Sí, se fijan en cada detalle.
En fin, como dije, en La Cabrera todo está bien, desde cada uno de los productos que ofrecen, la decoración y calidez del lugar, hasta la atención que realmente es un lujo. Es de esos lugares que no son para nada económicos, pero al cual de seguro volvería más de una vez.

La Cabrera has some amazing cuts of meat. The service is good, as it should be for what they charge you and the dinning room is lovely. I steered clear for many years writing it off as a place for tourists but I’ve come around, it took me a few years. Tourists do all go here, but that’s because its so darn delicious.
All the little cups of garnishes are nice but mainly for show. Don’t be fooled, come here only for the meat.
If you have a club la nación card you get a discount!

Es rico pero caro…
Vamos al detalle ir sin reserva es la muerte! Se espera demasiado y es algo que odio. cuando voy reservo.
Cuando llegas te dan una copita de champagne para hacer mas amena la espera.
Los platos son para compartir. no pido entrada porque no hace falta.
Generalmente algun buen corte de carne y no hace falta pedir ninguna guarnición ya que viene el mozo con mil platitoa chiquitos para que te sirvas y elijas.. ahi suma puntos.
La carta de vinos es muy cara… arrancan en valores muy altos vinos que a precio de mercado son medio para abajo.
Lo recomiendo pero con reserva y con bastante dinero en el bolsillo

Excelente carne, acompanhamentos ótimos e bem servidos! Ambiente agradável! No almoço há menu executivo!

ma-​ra-​vi-​lho-​so! Queria muito conhecer por tantas indicações, apesar de muitos falarem que é um restaurante pega turista (caro pelo que oferece). Li que eles têm horário de happy hour das 19 às 20hs, resolvemos tentar, e não é que valeu muito a pena??? Eles trabalham com desconto de 40%. Pedimos (casal) um ojo de bije large (600gr), duas cervejas, e com o prato vem uma série de acompanhamentos muito saborosos por apenas 288 pesos! O atendimento foi ótimo, o lugar tem uma decoração belíssima e a comida é sensacional. Ambiente super agradável, Recomendo mil vezes!

Adoro La cabrera!
Es un lugar donde uno se siente comodo, bien atendido, rica comida, es genial.
El secreto esta en saber pediro.
No es un lugar para pedir un plato por persona. Es un lugar para compartir!
Recomiendo no pedir demasiadas entradas ni acompañamientos. Una vez que te sirven el plato vienen los mozos con bandejas llenas de mini bowls con distintas ensaladas, acompañamientos y otras delicias. Eso es lo mas divertido!!! Poder tener distintos acompañamientos para hacer cada bocado unico!

Estuvimos para el Dia del Padre, habiamos ido con Reseña previa de Restorando, asi que llegamos y no tuvimos problema (si no es con reserva, es literalmente imposible ir)
La comida como siempre es genial, la atencion muy buena, y todos los acompañamientos hacen que la comida sea 10 000 veces mas rica.
Por ser el dia del padre, habia un postre de regalo, con un vino para los padres, asi que padre estaba muy contento tambien!
Como siempre la atencion genial, los mozos super atentos, y la comida excelente como siempre.

Para mi acá se come las mejores mollejas del país.
Un restaurante típico de carne, los precios son muy altos. Junto al plato de carne te traen unos mini platos de ensaladas varias de acompañamiento.
Por su popularidad y su buena carne hoy en día está lleno de turistas y cada vez menos argentinos.
Tienen dos ya que los espacios son muy chicos, dejé de ir porque nunca había lugar y los precios están hechos para turistas.
Mi mejor anécdota en este restaurante es que la noche anterior del almuerzo que tenia pautado soñé con Francis Coppola y al sentarme y empEzar a comer levanto la mirada y él estaba ahí comiendo solo, me saque una foto me habló en español y yo chocha jaja

Para empezar que habíamos reservado con Restorando en una sucursal en especifico (tienen 45, pegadas una a otra) y no sabían en cual nos metieron, terminamos en una que no habiamos requerido.
Nos pusieron en un salón donde esta el frigorifico donde maceran la carne, con esa luz violeta de carnicería. Muy lindo todo el tema turístico icónico, pero no te me vayas de mambo, Cabrerita. Además de ese detalle, el ambiente en sí era un patio con cerramiento, el problema es que se largo a llover y el cerramiento empezo a deschavar sus filtraciones, que casualmente estaban arriba de mi asiento. La temperatura hiperfría del lugar, mas esa luz anti moscas convertían al restaurant en un parque temático: Carniceria La Lonja.
Te venden un bife a 300 pesos, lo menos que pido es poder sacarme los guantes para poder cortarlo.
La comida no es excepcional, no es nada que no pueda comer en otro lado.
Un tourist trap hecho y derecho.

Comida sensacional, bife chouriço muito bom, atendimento ótimo só cheguem cedo por que é bem cheio

Everyone told us to try this place, and man did it live up to the hype. My friend and I split a 600g steak, which was a good amount of food, and it was the best steak I’ve had in my life. Beyond the steak, you get served almost a dozen «sorpresas», little bites of sides which were uniformly delicious and added entertainment to the meal. The staff was engaging and friendly. I think it ended up being around US $ 30 for the meal, a fantastic value.
You will probably need a reservation for this place, but keep in mind that La Cabrera runs on Buenos Aires time: our reservation was for 12:30 but the restaurant didn’t open until 1.
This was one of my favorite meals in South America, I can’t recommend it enough!

La Cabrera es el sitio adecuado para todo aquel fanático de los buenos cortes de carne.
La Cabrera Boutique es un lugar en el que te atienden impecablemente. El costo es altísimo.
Andá con reserva y no te pases de hora porque te la dan de baja automáticamente,
La decoración es hermosa y la presentación de los platos es un deleite a la vista, está lleno de turistas que vienen a probar la famosa Carne Argentina!

Fui a cenar con amigos turistas a los que les habían recomendado esta parrilla ampliamente; fui, sabiendo de que me iba a tener que comer una espera importante y de que los precios iban a ser caros, pero supuestamente todo iba a ser recompensado con una carne increíble.
Llegamos, y tuvimos que esperar media hora para sentarnos, una vez logrado este pedimos para compartir, ya que eso es lo que recomienda la carta, pedimos lomo al tomillo y ojo de bife grande, de entrada pedimos unas mollejas. Todo esto viene acompañado por unas macetitas que tienen acompañamientos que incluyen pure de manzana, de papa, de calabaza, arroz, alcaucil, choclo, y algunas pequeñeces más.
Debido a la alta reputación que tenía, estaba esperando para probar el mejor plato de carne de mi vida, y debo decir, que las mollejas estaban increíbles, pero no puedo decir lo mismo del ojo de bife. Si bien estaba tierno, el sabor no era nada increíble, quizás no estaba bien marinado, o lo que sea que se hace con la carne antes de ponerla en la parrilla. El punto de la misma era el pedido y los tiempos de espera para comer fueron cortos.
La atención esta bien, el mozo se tomó el tiempo de explicarnos todos los acompañamientos en inglés y en español. Una sonrisa sin embargo no habría estado de mas.
En resumen general, me parece que este lugar esta claramente sobrecalificado, ya que la misma calidad de carnes se pueden conseguir por menos precio en otras parrillas.

Made reservations on a weeknight at 8:30pm, right around when they open. Was promptly seated. Ambiance is very nice, more of a dim light, quiet setting, and the service is top notch. Menu has plenty of options and everything we ordered was pretty good, but not spectacular. As a matter of fact, the filet mignon we ordered came with two pieces, and one of them was a little too rare when we had asked for medium rare. We also ordered a ribeye, arugula salad, blood sausage appetizer, and some wine, and total came out to $ 101 USD. It was a pleasant experience but I probably won’t be going back next time I am in BA.

Excelente restaurante: comida perfeita. Carne no ponto. Ambiente legal e atendimento ótimo! Melhor custo benefício que os restaurantes de puerto Madero.
Tente reservar ou chegar cedo.

Uma experiência gastronômica única. O garçom cortou nosso ribeye de 3 dedos de altura usando uma colher!

Voted in the top 50 restaurants in Latin America, this neighborhood restaurant serves an excellent steak and the wine isn’t bad either. The side dishes that accompany the meal are a delicious .
Perhaps it was a busy afternoon but La Cabrera misses out on the 5^th star for a slightly overcooked and under salted medium rare lomo (which was still extremely delicious). If I could I’d give an extra half star for the sparking wine that came out after our meal and Gustavo who entertained our 1-​year old throughout our 3 hour lunch.
You can order half portions of almost everything which is perfect if you can’t make up your mind and what to try everything…

Resto de viande argentine assez classe donc assez cher sauf si vous venez à partir de 19h (venez même 15 min avant car il y a la queue), là vous avez une heure pour commander, manger et payer pour avoir droit à 50% sur toute la note.
Vous pouvez commander votre pièce de boeuf selon votre faim car plusieurs tailles sont disponibles, les accompagnements sont servis en petites portions avec votre viande, certains sont vraiment bons.
La viande aussi rien à dire mais je me suis plus régalée à Las Cabras où je peux prendre mon temps pour manger sans se stresser de dépasser l’heure de promotion et pour le même prix.
Hors promotion je trouve que le rapport qualité prix n’est plus du tout intéressant.

La Cabrera was the highlight of our trip to Buenos Aires. We feasted here and we loved it. We had it the second night of the trip and spent the remaining four nights trying to find somewhere that could live up to La Cabrera, but could not. This place is so good that they had to open up more than one location on the same street! We went very late on a Friday night (close to 10 pm) and there was a huge crowd waiting outside to eat. They were drinking complimentary champagne and wine that had been brought out to them to drink while they waited, but it was all gone by the time we got there. I’d say that we waited about 30 to 40 minutes but it was worth every minute of the wait.
We happened to also have the best bottle of wine of our entire trip here (we drank a bottle every night) — the NIETO SENETINER Malbec DOC 2012. Delicious.
Paired with that I had the half chicken from the grill, and he had the dry aged steak, which we supplemented with an arugula salad. We were thinking about ordering some fries also, but the server stopped us, and said that we had plenty of food. Thank goodness for that because we didn’t know about the complimentary side dishes that were about to be brought to our table. I wish I had taken a photo of this thing because it was impressive. It was like the banchan that they give to you at Korean BBQ. lots of small dishes of different things — including a side salad in a larger dish. So, we really didn’t need the Arugula salad, but that’s okay, because it was really fresh and delicious.
As for our food from the grill — I ate a lot of chicken and my bf ate a lot of steak on this trip — and this was by far the best that we had. It was extremely flavorful and didn’t need anything to be added to it. Just juicy and delicious.
Being completely gluttonous despite being full, I ordered the strawberries and ice cream for dessert. The ice cream was amazing (like most in BA) — it is richer than regular ice cream but not so rich as gelato and extremely flavorful — and came with a cup of fresh strawberries in some sort of sauce that paired perfectly with everything. Delicious.
My bf asked for a port, which they didn’t have, but the waiter suggested the SEPTIMA Gewürztraminer which we both loved. It was sweet, like a dessert wine (which I always love), but lighter and not so sweet as a Moscato (so he enjoyed it as well).
Everything about this meal, start to finish was just perfect.

La Cabrera is supposedly one of the best steak houses in Argentina. I LOVED Cabana Las Lilas last time I was in BA so it was a tough decision to try something new. We made reservations weeks in advance online (highly recommend that), but incidentally decided to walk in to get «Happy Hour» from 7−8pm which is 40% off your entire bill. Incredible. Note this is available only at the Boutique location one door down from the 5099 main location. They don’t take reservations so arrive 15 minutes early.
When you are seated they bring you a menu, complimentary breadsticks (with aioli, butter, and tomato salsa) and various breads (french roll, sliced wheat, biscuit, and wheat roll). French roll was nice and soft, wheat was a bit stale, nothing out of the ordinary.
We ordered the medium sized rib eye which was a nice thick piece of rib eye. It was fatty and oily and well marbled (all good things!) but not as tender or flavorful as I thought it would be. Reminded me of the simple grill method at Peter Luger — if you like that you would like this.
We also ordered the wagyu sirloin (500g) ~620 pesos which was even more marbled but had more of a grissly texture. While this piece was much more expensive than the rib eye I though both cuts were good in different ways. Between the two meat entrees and complimentary bread and sides this was more than enough food (though we weren’t that hungry to begin with).
We didn’t order side dishes because it comes with several small dishes (sweet potato, scrambled egg and cheese, apple sauce, balsamic shiitake, herbed mushrooms, couscous…) but I regret not ordering a pasta. Skip the salad, I saw a few people order this and it looks really bland!

No puedo decir nada que ya no esté dicho. Esta parrilla es, quizás, la MÁS clásica de Buenos Aires o casi y también el lugar más elegido por los extranjeros. Los dips que traen para las carnes SON TODO en el mundo. Sin embargo, me parece que los platos están dejando de ser «inmensos y para compartir». Sin discutir la calidad, obviamente, están quedando chicos. La atención es excelente por demás, vienen DOCE veces a preguntar si estás bien. Si querés comer y estás con hambre quizás los quieras matar :)
Es carísimo para almorzar. Pero de vez en cuando está bien.
Lo mejor es el baño de mujeres, donde hacés pis mientras Woody y John te miran.

Visitei o La Cabrera Boutique, que fica na mesma rua e possui decoração mais moderna… tudo muito bonito. O Atendimento foi muito bom, chegamos lá as 19h (não se esqueçam — se você ficar lá das 19 as 20h tem desconto de 40% e só chegar no La Cabrera boutique e pronto, pois para esse horário não tem reserva)…bom, e mesmo nessas condições fomos muito bem recebidos, garçom super cordial e ainda avisa quando estiver dando 20h para fechar a conta.
A comida e bebida é um caso a parte, você pode pedir sugestão de vinho e como o pessoal de lá estão acostumados com brasileiros, dá para se entenderem. Possui ampla cartela de vinhos, alguns inclusive com ótimo custo-​beneficio. Para comer optamos pelo Bife de Chorizo Grande (dá para 2 pessoas) e como destaque do lugar vem várias guarnições de acompanhamento para você apreciar a carne de várias formas. A carne é muito saborosa, pedimos ao ponto e veio tudo certinho. E alem das guarnicoes, enquanto você aguarda a carne há uns palitinhos e pães para apreciar um patê muito saboroso.
Bom, se você deseja entrar no clima porteno e apreciar ótima carne, recomendo o Lá Cabrera! O jantar para duas pessoas (uma carne grande 800gr + agua com gás + vinho cruz alta) saiu ± 500 pesos… com o desconto deu 350 pesos! Incrível não?

En la pelea por las parrillas de Buenos Aires, La Cabrera es una de esas históricas que ya están establecidas hace años y sabés que es medio una fija.
El problema viene con el status que le dieron los turistas. Se creen infalibles y no lo son. Partamos del «problema» de la espera. Está lleno TODOS los días con esperas que rondan la hora y media si no tenés reserva. Cuando digo TODOS los días me refiero a TODOS los días. Fui un Lunes de invierno con lluvia HORRIBLE bien temprano y ya había cola.
Pero bueno, si el lugar fuera majestuoso, eso se perdona porque viene con el éxito. El tema es que tampoco es TAN bueno el lugar. La decoración es bastante all over the place. Mitad barco, mitad juguetería, mitad restaurante italiano, nunca termina de decidirse.
La atención es muy cordial, aunque hay tantos clientes que uno siempre siente que los mozos lo apuran y ya tienen que irse a atender otra mesa.
Quizás por eso es que cometen errores básicos, pero importantes. Pedimos una entrada de empanadas, y los cortes de carne bien cocidos y a punto.
La carne llegó a los 10 minutos, las empanadas se las olvidaron de pedir y estaban semi crudos los cortes. Entiendo que la mayoría de los turistas americanos comen la carne bien jugosa. Por eso mismo pedimos que venga a punto y cocida. Pero no, lo sacan como viene y como están acostumbrados.
Devolvimos los platos para que los cocinen más.
Pedí el Bife de Chorizo al roquefort. Me imaginaba una salsa de roquefort o algo elegante. No. Eran dos cachos de roquefort cortados a cuchillo así nomas tirados sobre el bife, sin derretir. MUY bizarro y poco atento de un restaurante con esta supuesta categoría.
Los precios son asesinos. Calculen 450 a 500 pesos por cabeza si piden vino.
En definitiva: OverRated. Se los comió el personaje. La carne era de calidad sí. Pero mal cuidada.
