El Preferido de Palermo in Buenos Aires

"top 25 best latin america i think. the bread is insane. oliver oil is only in house. chicken if fab and all the sides are incredible. phenomenal service and such a vibe."

"Everything was amazing! I didn’t booked in advance so had to wait ~1 hour but they were super nice and compensated me with drinks and an amazing service on the bar. The food was very good. Recommend to book a table and come with friends so you can taste many of what they have to offer. The pimientos pickles are something else!!"

"This Palermo spot in Buenos Aires is an absolute must-visit—if you can snag a reservation! We got lucky and were seated outside, which made the experience even better. The service was outstanding; the staff even put a sheet over our bags to keep them clean—such a thoughtful touch. The food is worth every peso. The Milanese steak was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the fries were crispy and delicious. Every detail, from service to presentation, felt top-notch. It’s definitely not cheap, but the experience more than justifies it. Between the amazing food, attentive staff, and great atmosphere, this place is hard to beat. We’d come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable meal in Buenos Aires."

"Absolute pleasure. Strolled in casually on a Monday evening, got a table outside instantly (solo). The food was well above average if not exceptional bistro style. Not that expensive if selective and skip wine. Steak was very tender, I think the meat is dry aged as standard. Dulce de leche helado was cheap and cheerful. Would recommend any time!"

"El Preferido in Palermo is a modern, high-end take on a classic Argentine restaurant, offering traditional dishes executed at a very high level. Everything we ordered was excellent, but the standout was the bife de chorizo milanesa — absolutely amazing and perfect for sharing. The fries were delicious, crunchy on the outside and incredibly soft on the inside, almost like mashed potatoes inside a fry (my first time trying fries like this). The tortilla was served exactly as we ordered it, and the charcuterie plate was also outstanding. The service was, as expected, on par with the restaurant’s higher price point: attentive, professional, and polished. Overall, everything was perfect. A top-tier experience and a place well worth visiting."

"There’s simply nothing more to say — there’s a reason this restaurant has a Michelin star. The service was exceptional. I sat at the bar, and our server, Miguel, was fantastic: attentive, thoughtful, recommending dishes, and always checking in on how we were doing. The food was outstanding. I ordered the asparagus, and they were out of this world. The milanesa de bife de chorizo was also incredible, definitely a must— absolutely worth it. I would 100% recommend this place and would go back in a heartbeat."

"Excellent service from the moment we walked up to the restaurant. We were greeted warmly and given the option of 3 different seating areas, each of which were beautifully designed. We opted for bar seating so we could see the preparation of the food, which was done with such care and precision that it was stunning to watch. The food was all exceptional… our favorites were the shrimp in garlic and charcoal roasted sole. The cocktails were also exquisite. I especially loved the penecillin, which was made with fresh ginger and came with a beautifully imprinted large ice cube. I also appreciated that when paying with card you are given the option to include tip on the card, rather than needing to carry cash for tip. All around great experience."

"El Preferido de Palermo is such a popular spot and it’s easy to see why. We were not able to walk in for dinner, so reservations are definitely recommended. We returned a few days later for lunch and were lucky to get a table. The service is polished and attentive, and the ambiance is intimate and romantic. The food was excellent. The Milanese Neapolitan is a standout, perfectly crisp and generously topped, and for dessert the homemade flan or the dulce de leche ice cream are both absolute must-tries."
