5 FINE DINING & TRENDY RESTAURANTS IN BUENOS AIRES

1. Evelia

This restaurant waits for you in the Núñez neighborhood. His owner, Máximo, also owns Dogg, Togni's Pizza, and Togni's Café. With Evelia, he honors his grandmother, who had the same name as this latest place! He is a recognized chef for his different creations and the search for innovation. Evelia's specialty is pasta. Among its starters, we can highlight a sautéed risotto with saffron cream and Grana Padano cheese, or Parma Ham. Of the main dishes, everything is worth trying, but especially the potato gnocchi with pesto (pine nuts and Grana Padano) and the fusilli al fierrito with bolognese ragout and burratina, one of the latest additions to the menu. To accompany the meal, you can choose from a menu with 12 cocktails and a wide variety of wines.

Evelia's kitchen, opening Tuesday-Sunday, is a home kitchen. This is what Máximo says: the loin Milanesa he offers in the restaurant is the same as the one made at home! He uses the same brand of pots, the same recipes, and the same types of utensils at his home and the restaurant. He knows that everything involved in the process makes the final result a real madness between the homemade and the innovative.

2. Trescha

Trescha is fine dining, a place of haute cuisine and, as its creator, Tomás Treschanski, proposes, it is “eating in an idea.” With only 10 places per service to eat directly at the chef's counter, tasting the combination of flavors, textures, and edible experiences that are the result of years of work and career in various top restaurants and countries, such as the Cordon Bleu in London and Azurmendi in Spain.

It has a 14-course tasting menu with a drink program with different styles for each menu item, and they have a mocktail option. In addition, you can visit its Test Kitchen, its enchanted patio, and its world wine cellar. It is currently in the Michelin Guide and within the recognized 50 Best in Latin America. 

Trescha's proposal is modern and disruptive and combines perfectly with the tradition that quarters it: a remodeled house in the mythical neighborhood of Villa Crespo.

3. Horta

This restaurant opened in mid-2024 and is already making a lot of noise. Also located in the Villa Crespo neighborhood and run by its owners, it offers a menu based on seasonal cuisine accompanied by a federal wine list, curated by MAD wine club. 

Among the most notable dishes are their hare croquette with pickled vegetables, tortellini with parmesan foam, and cheeks with sauerkraut and smoked potatoes. Led by Lucas Díaz, cofounder and chef, Horta takes diners through an experience of flavors and food fusions that highlight what is local, and what is offered by nature at every moment of the year. Those who have already visited highlight its intimate and warm atmosphere, ideal for a couple's date, and its outdoor patio, full of plants and lighting.

4. Ácido

Located in the Colegiales neighborhood, Ácido, a restaurant recommended by the Michelin Guide itself, suggests that you not take it so seriously. With his relaxed and fun personality, he offers only eight dishes, two of them desserts, which can be ordered in different sizes to be shared among all the members of the table. True to its daring personality, its menu presents dishes that combine culturally opposite flavors, such as a Korean Tteok with the typical Italian “cacio e pepe.” The atmosphere is so relaxed that bookings of any kind are not accepted, so the ideal is to go on a weekday, and very early.

5. Madre Rojas

Madre Rojas awaits you in Villa Crespo to offer you the best of Argentine meat. Of course, you have the possibility to choose from a wide variety of wines with what flavor you prefer to accompany the chosen cuts. The offer is simple, honest, and traditional: revaluing meat, the process that entails getting it to the table and delivering it accompanied by flavors that enhance its natural characteristics. 

Some of the delicacies you can try there are Wagyu cured meat and bresaola, Angus cured meat, Wagyu empanadas, and tartare, chistorras, Wagyu with onion jam and fennel flowers, and crispy chinchulines with lemon puree, among others.
