Guidebook for Buenos Aires
Food Scene
A big MUST for Don Julio, just two blocks from home, usually crowded but they do take reservations.
A few suggestions if not sure what to order:
Start with some molleja (sweetbread), for main dish one of the best options is Ojo de Bife (Rib eye steak) or ask the waiter if they have a better cut that day. The other cut I personally like and suggest is Entraña (Thin skirt). You can have any of these with a salad or Provoleta cheese with red pepper.
Last but not least two options of suggested Malbecs: la Primera Revancha or Petit Flor.
