Don Julio is the Buenos Aires steakhouse — Pablo Rivero's Palermo Viejo institution, ranked Top 3 in Latin America's 50 Best for the better part of a decade, with the dry-ageing programme that runs Hereford and Angus through an exclusive mixed-ageing process that has produced one of the finest steak programmes in the world. The wine list is the deepest Argentine selection in the city (the cellar is genuinely worth the half-hour tour) and the room — bottle-lined walls, candlelight, the open grill at the back — is the version of a parrilla that justifies the global reputation.
For honeymoons and bachelorette weekends in Buenos Aires this is the first-night dinner, no exception. The 90-day reservation window opens at midnight Buenos Aires time; book the moment it opens. Order the ojo de bife and the chorizo for two, ask the sommelier for a Patagonian Pinot.
The Buenos Aires steakhouse that defines the category.
