Buen Ayre

The mixed reviews here are perfect for me; hopefully keeps people away so I can easily get a table whenever I need my rib-eye fix. Love my local parrilladeria!

Odd vibes on these reviews. Great vibes at buen ayre. I guess the polarising issue is cash. You will pay £25 per person on pure meat. You can pay as much as you like on malbec. Took my Dad here for his birthday and he loved it. So will you. If you're reading this you're clearly tempted, so stop wasting your life and go beef up

Was there for dinner 9 months ago, was there today for lunch. Best Argentinean food, and it is not just about the bare steak on a plate: Parrillada, berenjena al escabeche, empanadas, CHORIPAN! Super nice staff, super nice atmosphere, great music! Tastes and feels like home!

aguante el Buen Ayre canejo!!!

Went to Buen Ayre for the 2nd time last night and still cannot fault the place. My steak was done to perfection, as was my girlfriend's, and the chips were sublime! We used to frequent Gauchos as our little Argentine getaway, but got tired of the extortionate prices and variable quality of meat. If you're looking for a beautifully cooked steak in a nice atmosphere with helpful waiters (who let you get on with your meal, rather than hanging on your shoulder all evening), go to this restaurant!

Absolutely amazing steak, staff and atmosphere. Worth the money.

we did not have a pleasant experience at all. my steak was completely burnt (and dried) on one side although I asked for a "rare". the waitress was quite apologetic but did not provide for a replacement nor bothered to ask when I pointed out that was served a piece of carbon...worst of the worst the bill did not mention any form of reduction for the incident...avoid-they used to be a good place for steak but they got too famous and do not even bother about clients...

We took a couple of friends, who were visiting London for the weekend, to Buen Ayre. I had read good reviews about the food and I had to book 2 weeks in advance to get a table. So I was expecting a good evening and delicious Argentinian steak. What a disappointment! The first thing at struck me was the sheer foul mouthedness of the staff. It was "eff-ing" this and "c-ing" that between themselves - and making comments about customers and their orders - eg references to the kebab looking like a big d**do. I'm not hispanic, but having lived in Barcelona for a good number of years, I understand both Catalan and Castillian very well. Perhaps there were some cultural references I didn't understand, but I doubt that this language would have been used had we been obviously Spanish. The food was nothing to write home about, and the huge steak dishes could only be described as average. I seriously doubted that it was Argentinian beef, at all. I certainly have had a much better steak at the Cat and Mutton. If I am paying over £70 a head for a two course meal with wine, I expect to have a clean knife and fork with each course; and not to be made to feel as though the staff are doing me a favour by allowing me to visit their venue. Overall, it is an average restaurant serving average food by poor staff. Needless to say that we have not gone back, as there are many more and much better places to eat in Broadway Market. Best to be avoided.

Staff very friendly but we choose a mist grill and no so good...

Very friendly staff and the food is just amazing.. Would definitely recommend it
