Cabaña las Lilas

Widely considered the best parrilla in Buenos Aires, the 400-seat Cabaña Las Lilas is always packed. The menu pays homage to Argentine beef, which comes from the restaurant's private estancia (ranch). The table "cover" -- which includes dried tomatoes, mozzarella, olives, peppers, and delicious garlic bread -- nicely whets the appetite. Clearly, you're here to order steak: The best cuts are the rib-eye, baby beef, and thin skirt steak. Order sautéed vegetables, grilled onions, or Provençal-style fries separately. The enormous eatery offers indoor and outdoor seating. In spite of its high prices, it's casual and informal; patrons come in suits or shorts. They also offer a good salad selection, so even vegetarians can share a table with friends. As they don't close between lunch and dinner, the restaurant is ideal for early dining in the North American or British style.
