27 great wine restaurants in Buenos Aires 2026

Trescha

Phone: +54 111 555 727 724

Address: Murillo 725

One of Buenos Aires, if not Argentina's few one-star Michelin restaurants, Trescha gave a much-needed boost to the capital’s fine dining scene. Ten guests dine almost simultaneously on the experimental 15-course tasting menu prepared by chef Tomás Trechanski, who trained at 108 in Denmark and Azurmendi in Spain, among other European restaurants. His sommelier team comprising Elena Cabrera and Leonel Castro Ortiz picked up the Michelin prize for the best in the business in 2025, and rightly so. The two cellars (for red and white) stock more than 600 labels from Argentina and the world, and they...

Casa Palanti

Phone: +54 111 525 021 021

Address: Ortiz de Ocampo 2901

The most glamorous opening of 2025, the team behind Casa Palanti pulled out all the restoration stops to give the 1922 building – conceived by the architect of Buenos Aires’ legendary Palacio Barolo – a new lease of life. Executive chef Juan Ventureyra elevates classics, adding Uruguayan caviar with both sweetbreads and rigatoni for that luxurious touch. Young gun Leo Fernández Aquino has amped up the original wine list to 200 labels, including world wineries such as Ceretto, Gaja, Vega Sicilia and Marchand-Grillot, among others. The only downside is that, when you reserve, you are in fact a...

Burdo

Phone: +54 111 544 467 984

Address: Delgado 1199

One of the new wave of neo-bodegones, that’s to say, casual Buenos Aires eateries that have been elevated thanks to careful use of ingredients and contemporary culinary techniques, Burdo is notable for its cellar and wine list. Chef Lucila Rodríguez and her wine-loving brother-in-law and business partner Martín Eddi try everything together, and only wines that they both love make the cut. This August 2025 opening has been able to take advantage of Argentina finally permitting wine imports, and includes vintages from the Adelaide Hills, Alpha, and Colchagua Valley.

Treintasillas

Phone: +54 9 11 4492-7046

Address: Cap. Gral. Ramón Freire 700

One of the original puerta cerrada restaurants – that’s to say, a closed door or supper club – which opened in 2007, 30 Sillas translates as 30 chairs but, due to its popularity, certainly caters for more than that each night. Chef Ezequiel Gallardo’s menu is hyper seasonal, depending on what is available at the market. The four-course set menu might start with a red tuna tartare, continuing with ricotta-filled ravioli, moving on to top blade with aubergine, finishing with pavlova. Ezequiel also takes care of the wine list, featuring labels from different regions in Argentina, mostly elegant...

Mambo

Phone: +54 113 068 1820

Address: malabia 820, villa crespo

After several years as a sous chef then successfully opening Las Flores, chef Santiago Pérez finally flew solo last in 2025 to open Mambo. Located in a hip converted workshop, his menu is seasonally driven – expect refreshing watercress salad served with wood-fired sole, or flathead grey mullet cured in lemon ash. In charge of the wine list is the young yet seasoned sommelier and bartender Lucas Rothschild, who brings ‘50 Best’ bar hospitality experience to the table after four years at CoChinChina bar. His 100-strong wine list isn’t ordered by price, by region or variety but by parameters a...

Mengano

Phone: +54 116 269 2494

Address: José Antonio Cabrera 5172

Chef Facundo Kelemen has taken classic dishes and upgraded the traditional Argentine bodegón experience of one-bite beef empanadas, lamb tartare and steak sandwiches, creating a jolly and relaxed restaurant in Mengano that should get more press. Take a stool at the kitchen counter, enjoy the bustle of the main salon or book the private dining room. Sommelier Alfredo Mesa works closely with owner André Parisier, who has a substantial private wine collection, to create an Argentine-driven list of around 50 labels, with gems that they both enjoy (which may include the likes of Château Lafite Ro...

Ness

Phone: +54 911 345 586 12

Address: Grecia 3691

Many revered Proper, a relaxed restaurant that cooked exclusively with fire and embers. Four years after it shuttered, one of its chefs, Leo Lanussol, opened a more refined and adult version. With modern Argentine cooking that follows the same fire philosophy, Ness has fans of Proper filling it for lunch and dinner. Making the Latin America’s ‘50 Best’ restaurant list within a year of opening, the menu is market-driven and includes highlights such as duck with endives, beef heart and mustard pickles, or scallops and trout. Danish sommelier Bertil Tøttenborg (formerly of Gustu in La Paz, Boliv...

Overo Bar de Copas

Phone: +54 111 568 784 583

Address: Nicaragua 4583, Palermo Viejo

A wine club that hosts made-to-measure tastings for members in Palermo Viejo, but you don’t have to be a member to enjoy the delightful rooftop. It’s certainly refreshing to drink a few storeys up, slightly elevated and away from Palermo’s busy cobbled streets (and hawkers). Head sommelier Ileana Osorio keeps the themes creative, conjuring up ‘Tarot and Wine’ nights, as well as tastings led by wineries.

Piedra Pasillo

Phone: +54 112 725 8680

Address: Campos Salles 2145

One of the most solid offerings to open in the past few years, Piedra Pasillo showcases contemporary Argentine cuisine with a conscience. The dynamic culinary duo Lucas Canga and Tomás Curiel use every last part of their ingredients, aiming for a sustainable approach but without the fanfare. Think prawns with XO sauce and crême fraiche, or venison tartare, knowing that the kitchen team butchered the entire beast themselves. The wine list compiled by Pablo Garriga is a joyful run through Argentina, with a solid number of skin contact and whites as well as prices to meet all budgets. After dinn...

Presencia

Phone: +54 112 310 0021

Address: Montevideo 1789

One of the most elegant 2025 openings in Buenos Aires, Presencia makes its presence known on the wine scene with a geographical journey through Argentine winemaking, from north to south. The menu is equally as refined, and chef Rodrigo Da Costa doesn’t shy away from using luxury ingredients: think scallops topped with Ossetra roe, and artichoke capeletti given the same luxe treatment. Executive sommelier Daiana Giraldi has created a journey that focuses on two pillars of winemaking history – Torrontés and Malbec – sharing a curated perspective committed to quality and identity.

Alo’s

Phone: +54 11 4737-1246

Address: Blanco Encalada 2120, Boulogne

Located in an elegant residential neighbourhood in San Isidro, in Greater Buenos Aires, Alo’s restaurant is a fantastic spot to enjoy a breath of fresh culinary air outside the city limits. Chef-patron Alejandro Feraud is one of Argentina’s brightest talents, taking immense pride in working closely with local organic farms and orchards. Book a spot at the kitchen bar, which is buzzy and offers close-ups of the talented culinary team in action. The team’s work is regularly recognised by Latin America’s ‘50 Best Restaurants’.

Anchoita

Phone: +54 11 4854-9334

Address: Juan Ramirez de Velasco 1520, Buenos Aires

By the Glass List of the Year International Open 2026

The brainchild of film director-pilot-and-chef Enrique Piñeyro, who―when he isn’t flying his Boeing 737 on humanitarian missions―leads Anchoita’s dynamic culinary team. Simple yet delicious contemporary Argentine cuisine is the order of the day, with lots of focus on seasons and regions. Book ahead for comfy kitchen-side bar seats at this Chacarita-based restaurant. First, order the charcuterie prepared in house and follow it up with bone-in whole grilled surubí river fish, unusual in this city of steak fans. The cheese trolley with its 110+ cheese is quite something, too. Of note it is one of...

Aldo’s Palermo

Phone: 011 7113-1480

Address: Azopardo 780, Montserrat

The brainchild of sommelier Aldo Graziani, the Palermo branch of his eponymous restaurant offers up the same solid contemporary fare with Italian and Mediterranean influence and a wide array of local vintages as the Monserrat one, but in more space. The leafy front patio is a lovely spot for a lazy outdoor lunch prepared by chef Leonardo Azulay, while a dynamic team of sommeliers make excellent recommendations from the 500-strong cellar, named after the late Argentine wine writer Elisabeth Checa. They take pride in selecting vintages from small- and medium-size producers though there’s also a...

Aldo’s Palermo is temporarily closed.

Anafe

Address: Virrey Avilés 3216

This Colegiales-based establishment has captured the hearts of regulars as well as voters from Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants awards; Anafe was named One To Watch in 2021. A young crowd comes for the home-cured fish with sour cream, onion, and pickled beetroot, chicken liver pâté over a financier (almond tea cake), and the lovingly curated wine list that makes space for small producers, who are named on the list, from diverse corners of Argentina. Gems might include 10-year-old Luján Merlot or Malbec from Quebrada de Humahuaca IG.

Aramburu

Phone: +54 114 811 1414

Address: Pasaje del Correo, Vicente López 1661

A technique-led 18-course tasting menu that highlights Argentine ingredients from the length and breadth of the country, served in the intimate ambience of chef Gonzalo Aramburu’s establishment in Recoleta; it’s one of the last remaining fine-dining restaurants standing in Buenos Aires and I love it for an intimate date. Such detail and elegance leads to a master class in haute cuisine paired with a diverse array of vintages, starring some of the most exciting wines being produced in Argentina today. Book a table on the ground floor to catch the culinary action; the first floor has a more buzz...

Casa Cavia

Phone: +54 11 4809-8600

Address: Cavia 2985, Buenos Aires

Located in one of Buenos Aires’ most beautifully refurbished mansions, enjoy lunch on Casa Cavia’s gorgeous outdoor patio or dinner in the impeccably designed dining room in Palermo Chico. The restaurant’s kitchen is led by executive chef Julieta Caruso, the former right-hand woman to Andoni Luis Aduriz at Mugaritz. She takes inspiration from music, movies or literature for her seasonal menus. The extensive wine list based on small producers is managed by executive sommelier Mariana Torta. The bar is also notable; enjoy a signature cocktail at the eye-catching bar, created by talented mixologi...

Crizia

Phone: +54 11 4776-5005

Address: Fitz Roy 1819

While this fish-and-seafood-led restaurant in Palermo Hollywood has long housed a great collection of vintages with plenty of whites to boot, the wine programme has gone from strength to strength since moving premises in 2022. Chef-patron Gabriel Oggero and partner Geraldine Gastaldo are hugely passionate about wine and Crizia has eye-catching purpose-built vertical cellar towers above the oyster bar, open-plan kitchen, and dining room. Ask about the notable magnum collection. Short on time, like I often am? Stop by for a half-dozen Patagonian bivalves cultivated in the open sea with a classic...

El Preferido de Palermo

Phone: +54 11 4774-6585

Address: Jorge Luis Borges 2108, Buenos Aires

Best Short List of the Year International Open 2026

A thoughtful project from the team behind ‘World’s 50 Bester’ Parrilla Don Julio steakhouse, El Preferido de Palermo underwent a considerable facelift in 2019, going from bodegón to fully-fledged restaurant, yet managing to retain the atmosphere and flavours of years bygone. Take a seat at the bar for a view of chef Guido Tassi and team in action, who work with seasonal, local ingredients. Excellent charcuterie is prepared in house, the eye-catching glass cellar ageing calabresa and Serrano-style hams that need to be enjoyed over a glass of glou-glou house wine. The list is considerably shor...

Elena

Phone: +54 11 4321-1200

Address: 1086/88 Posadas, ABB, Buenos Aires

At the flagship restaurant of the Four Seasons, executive chef Juan Gaffuri creates modern Argentine cuisine that’s backed up with a top wine service. The extensive list has a selection of 200 labels from around the country―and there are many others off list, so always ask―and is run by sommelier Dulce Long. Located in the swanky Recoleta neighbourhood, Elena is an oasis in the city for breakfast, lunch or dinner; you can move on next door to the polo-themed Pony Line bar for late-night cocktails.

Gran Bar Danzon

Phone: +54 11 4811-1108

Address: Libertad 1161, AAW Buenos Aires

I love Gran Bar Danzon. This is where I stopped working as a bartender and started my training to become a sommelier over twenty years ago. It has a very comprehensive wine list, including many old vintages that are sometimes hard to find, and several different wines offered by the glass.

Las Pizarras

Phone: +54 11 4775-0625

Address: Thames 2296, Buenos Aires

Translating as ‘the blackboards’, both the food and wine lists are chalked up on boards hanging from walls, giving an authentic bistro ambience to this adorable Palermo spot. And, both food and wine menu change up regularly, according to chef-owner Rodrigo Castilla’s market-to-table approach, which keeps local diners interested. Must orders include smoked bone marrow tortellini and cured grey mullet in a ponzu sauce. No reservations, open Sunday evenings.

Lardito

Phone: +54 011 7625-7836

Address: Avenida Jorge Newbery 3655

Forming part of the successful wave of wine store and restaurant hybrids in Buenos Aires, Lardito is literally blooming. Tucked away on a busy Chacarita avenue, the main dining room is dominated by a single banquet table, whose vases and floral arrangements elegantly separate diners. Lardito gets packed, so book ahead to enjoy the 300-strong label selection and small plates for sharing, such as aguachile and prawn bao. There’s no printed wine menu, so browse the vinoteca and choose your vintage with your eyes; the team tends to stock low-intervention, organic and biodynamic wines from small-...

Oviedo

Phone: +54 11 15-4821-3741

Address: Beruti 2602, Buenos Aires

A true Buenos Aires classic, Recoleta-based restaurant Oviedo is well-known for its smart service and Mediterranean cuisine. Although what many diners don’t realise is that owner and passionate vintage hunter Emilio Garip has around 20,000 wines in his cellar – with some incredible back vintages of Argentina’s most iconic wines. Delve into his impressive cellar while experiencing classic fine dining and swift service from a team of bow-tied waiters.

Parrilla Don Julio

Phone: +54 11 4832-6058

Address: Guatemala 4699, Buenos Aires

Best Long List of the Year International Open 2026

Regarded as serving the best steak in Argentina by both diners and rankings, meat mecca Parrilla Don Julio also houses one of the most impressive cellars in the country. Book well ahead or queue up for a table at this busy restaurant, a former butcher in trendy Palermo Soho―but the mouthwatering ribeye and wines from the eye-watering cellar are worth the wait. Do ask to participate in the sensorial experience in the cellar. If you pick a particularly special bottle, you can sign it before staff display it on the wall, empty memories of the best variety. This steakhouse has been an institution...

Palacio Duhau

Phone: +54 11 5171-1234

Address: Avenida Alvear 1661, Buenos Aires

Built a century ago, when Argentina was one of the richest countries on Earth, the stunning Duhau Palace is a Park Hyatt hotel today. This beautiful place, located on the legendary Avenida Alvear in Recoleta, boasts a restaurant, a cocktail and cigar bar, a wine bar and Buenos Aires’ only serious cheese cellar. It’s a food and wine lover’s paradise.

Restó S.C.A.

Phone: +54 11 4816-6711

Address: Montevideo 938, Buenos Aires

Paz Levinson started her sommelier career at this Recoleta-based restaurant in 2003, the moment when Restó established its reputation for fantastic wines and food, which it has maintained for two decades. Located within the stylish Architecture Society’s headquarters, this elegant restaurant is a tucked-away gem. The wine list is compiled by Matias Chiesa, one of the few Master of Wine students in Argentina, and is a true compendium. A lovely place to go for lunch accompanied by a glass of something delicious, or for a romantic dinner sampling the tasting menu. The cheese trolley is excellent.

Vini

Address: República Árabe Siria 3037

This wine bar is located in the heart of Palermo Botánico, retaining an air of much-needed tranquillity. One of the joys of coming to Vini – a joint project set up by sommeliers and best friends Luciano ‘Lucky’ Sosto and Aldo Graziani – is that around six of the 60 listed vintages are opened every day to enjoy by the glass, and this selection changes every fortnight; put yourself in Lucky’s hands and go with the flow. The focus, albeit not exclusively, is on low-intervention and easy-drinking wines, and there are also a few vertical gems. Enjoy them on the street-side deck or inside with oliv...
