Beef is usually the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Buenos Aires restaurants, and with good reason: Argentina’s prairies produce some of the best cuts in the world. But local cuisine also boasts European influences, and modern, inventive twists. While tackling huge steaks at a parrilla like Don Julio is an absolute must, and pizza and pasta dominate the typical Argentine diet, options are ample once that wheat-heavy, high-protein diet takes its toll. T+L scouted out a wide range of diverse options to help you make the best selections when choosing the best restaurants in Buenos Aires.

Look out for Peruvian fare at La Mar Cebicheria and Chan Chan, Asian/Latin American fusion at Gran Dabbang, and tapas at El Preferido de Palermo, where Borges used to hang out. Don’t forget to soak up the city’s literary legacy over hot chocolate and churros at Café Tortoni.
