Where to Beef in Buenos Aires: Soberbia 22

Where: Fitzroy 2199, Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Dining options abound in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires, but most restaurants are good old-fashioned parrillas, or grills, where you’ll find menus featuring steak, steak, and more steak. Folks in Buenos Aires really love meat. Soberbia 22 is no exception, but a few things set it apart from the...herd.

First, it's not too difficult to get a reservation, or even just walk in and get a table, unlike some of the better known steakhouses in the city, like Cabaña Las Lilas in Puerto Madero, or La Cabrera in Palermo Viejo.

You won’t have to contend with a pack of tourists, either, since Soberbia 22 is more of a neighborhood place popular with the residents of leafy Palermo Hollywood, with the low prices to match. That’s right, you can get a whole steak dinner, including a glass of wine, salad, appetizer and dessert for under $20 by our last check.

This is no shabby bistro, though. The restaurant is all modern design, with high ceilings, sleek leather banquettes, huge mirrors and a bustling open kitchen that fronts the bar—you can eat there in a pinch, but I’d advise against it since you’ll feel like you’ve been spit-roasted yourself thanks to the heat emanating from the open grills.

The final thing that distinguishes Soberbia 22 is its owner, Aldo, a gregarious man who makes the dining experience especially noteworthy with unfailing attention to each patron. He’ll squeeze you in without a reservation, walk you to your table, pick out your dinner for you, pour the wine himself, and make sure you stay on budget…as well as sharing a few choice stories from his own checkered past.

It might not be listed in the guidebooks yet, but Soberbia 22 is a great place to grab a piece of meat and down a glass of wine before setting off for the nearby bars and clubs of Palermo Viejo.

Soberbia 22 is open daily from noon-midnight. Reservations can be made online or by calling 011 54 11 4776 4549.
