With the newly opened Burj Khalifa just outside, there is much to distract you when you take a table outdoors at this Argentinean restaurant. Even the Dubai Fountain, which bursts into life at regular intervals, will do its best to divert you, but the fine steaks on offer will always guide you back.

The waiting staff here are excellent and intuitive, and they begin the evening by presenting you with a tray of assorted steaks. While you could always go for chicken or fish, skipping out on the red meat means you’ll also miss out on the vast array of sauces and mustard that accompany the beef. The sides, such as roasted vegetables or thick-cut garlic fries, stacked Jenga-style, are also welcome additions.

One of the best restaurants in Dubai. The steaks are amazing. An autentic Argentinian restaurant.

Just a hint: Although not in the menu, after finishing your meal, ask for one "terere" and enjoy this typical drink ;)

Cheers!

Horrible experience! Coming from Buenos Aires I must say that you can eat a lot better in any street restaurant in that city that in this fancy one. This is not argentine food!!! Keep away! High prices for very low quality!

i had the best meal there with my husband and daughter of 20 months! i ordered the tenderloin which was amazing while my hubby ordered a grill platter which was waaaay to much for him to handle and it was definately worth the value! They even gave us a nice small tiramisu cake since it was my birthday and a card with writings from all the staff. truly amazing! ;-) the only thing i can say we didnt find so invigorating was when the "manager " am not so sure, came to introduce us and it was a lil bit suffocating and my husband showed frustration! hahahaha... but overall it wsa truly a lovely restaurant! expensive too!!! but def worth it! it was my birthday!!! hehe

If you are looking for a decent steak, this is definitely the place for you. With two choices of settings - outside (casual) and inside (romantic) - there is something for everyone. The live band created a very authentic ambiance and the staff were knowledgable and very attentive. Unfortunately, we were slow to get off the ground with a 20 minute wait to order our food and a 1 hour wait between starter and main. The prices were on the steep side so save this place for special occasions. A must for any meat lover!
