The Best Restaurant in Recoleta, Buenos Aires

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Arguably Buenos Aires’ poshest neighborhood, Recoleta is the epicenter for high-end shopping, museum-going, and white-tablecloth dining. It’s home to most of the swankier hotels, and many of them house excellent restaurants, but it’s also home to a good number of classic spots that have been serving up high-quality fare for decades.

The somewhat touristy Village Recoleta area has a mix of old-time cafés like La Biela and Munich nestled side by side with family-friendly steak- and pasta houses. There’s also the city’s first microbrewery, Buller, and a few nightclubs for those who want a little late night fun.

Aramburu

$$$$ | Recoleta

Tucked away down a cobbled alley is one of the most beautiful and romantic restaurants in the city. Night after night chef Gonzalo Aramburu turns out an exquisite 18-course tasting menu of seasonal dishes, each reinterpreted through the lens of fine dining. It's worth the splurge; in 2023 Aramburu was awarded two Michelin stars.
