El Desnivel<br />
The archetypal no-frills<br />
parrilla, Desnivel brims with<br />
locals, tourists, and artists.<br />
Faded pictures hang on walls and<br />
the waiters are the cheeriest in<br />
town. Slabs of steak sizzle on<br />
the open grill before being whisked<br />
to tables. d Map F3 • Defensa<br />

El Obrero @ Bono, Francis Ford Coppola,<br />
and Robert Duvall are just three<br />

$ La Cabrera<br />
A gorgeously romantic spot,<br />
La Cabrera comprises two small<br />
rooms characterized by bare-brick<br />
walls, mosaic floors, and wooden<br />
furniture. The steaks are some of<br />
the best in town, and the wine<br />
list is excellent. Outdoor tables<br />
are available as well (see p93).<br />
% La Cholita<br />
Both the decor and the<br />
menu here pay homage to<br />
Argentina’s countryside – think<br />
mustard walls, rustic stone<br />
flooring, and wooden furnishings.<br />
The kitchen serves up crackling,<br />
inexpensive steaks, tasty miniempanadas,<br />
and divine desserts.<br />

and cheese. d Map N5 • Rodríguez<br />
