Buenos Aires

This is the City branch of the popular Buenos Aires chain specialising in Argentinean steaks. They're served in a rustic restaurant setting on Watling Street, just up from Mansion House.  

Those steaks play a lead role on a menu focused on authentic Argentinean dishes. Alongside the rib-eye, rump, sirloin, fillet and churrasco de lomo are empanadas, griddled provoleta, lamb chops marinated in lemon zest, garlic and parsley, and chicken criollo - grilled half chicken marinated in the house chimichurri. Salads, fresh salmon fillet with Patagonian herbs and freshly made tagliatelle are the kinds of thing on offer for those avoiding the meat.

The wine list boasts plenty of Argentinean reds - plus a few whites - complemented by bottles from Chile and France. There are cocktails here too, with gin-based drops prominent.
