Cabaña las Lilas

Frommer's Review

Widely considered the best parrilla in Buenos Aires, 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. Service is hurried, but professional; ask your waiter to match a fine Argentine wine with your meal. The enormous eatery has both indoor and outdoor seating. In spite of its high prices, it's casual and informal; patrons come in suits or shorts. There's also a large and very good salad bar, so even vegetarians can be happy here.
