When our Argentina hosts, Kim Advent and Luis Fain from CMI Abasto, told us they were taking us to a steakhouse around the corner from our hotel, little did we know that La Cabrera is listed number 17 under Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants 2014! It's located amongst the cool boutiques and bars of BA's Palermo area.
We were one of the first to arrive at 8:30 pm which was a good thing. The restaurant was packed in no time. In Argentina, we were actually considered "early diners", but our hosts were considerate knowing we just flew in that morning and that we Americans usually dine at a much earlier hour.
We let our hosts order for the table and all of us shared the huge platters of filet mignon and ribeye steaks, which included some of the most magnificent freshly grilled vegetables I've ever seen. We weren't even sure what some of the dishes were called, but we tasted everything!
We couldn't help but notice a rather gregarious table of eight American men from Austin, TX seated at a table next to us. Everyone broke out in laughter when it was mentioned that "we all literally woke up next to each other that same morning". Coincidentally, they were on the same flight sitting close to us in the Business First cabin. They said they were off on a hunting expedition.
The restaurant had such great energy from the wait staff to the patrons.
