"Don Julio has great service, top notch meat, a notable wine list and it’s centrally located in Palermo. While food writers who describe food as “melting in your mouth” should be sent home, I’m going to break the rule since their bife de chorizo is like a damn M&M of meat cuts. Other must order items: mollejas (sweetbreads), provoleta, grilled mushrooms, and entraña (skirt steak). This place gets ridiculously busy so don’t go at peak hours, or expect a long wait.

"There’s a reason that La Cabrera is always busy, the meat is pretty damn good and the impressive selection of sides is like an overwhelming feast for the eyes.

It might be a pricey and heavily touristed choice, but Cabana Las Lilas is still near the top of the league when it comes to serving the very best of Argentina's world-famous beef. Every cut comes from the restaurant's own award-winning ranch, which specializes in five types of beef, including black Angus.

I’m talking no-frills tapa de asado al horno con papas, or a solid giant milanesa with perfectly fried french fries."

From African drumming to electro-folk, the music of the "early" show music is eclectic, but hip and often includes the best of local bands as well as visiting bands from abroad. Around 1am DJ's take over and Niceto's ever-popular club nights begin. Don't miss the legendary Club 69 on Thursdays. If you're looking for a place to dance in Palermo, then Niceto Club is it."

Located in the little-visited neighborhood of Almagro, foreign and local dancers of all standards congregate here for the nightly classes and milonga session. Even if you don't yet dance tango, La Catedral is still an interesting place to hang out, drink, eat vegetarian fare, talk, and watch as well as listen to tango.

Inside, patrons find themselves in a high-ceilinged lounge with a fashionably pared-down aesthetic of exposed brick walls, dim lighting and tea lights among a well-dressed crowd of locals and jet-setters sipping drinks and enjoying modern Argentine fare. 878 has nice cocktails and an extensive wine list, but I've also found that the barmen are more than happy to mix you up something new."

Its classical horseshoe auditorium makes for great sight lines and acoustics, and it is often cited as one of the top five opera houses worldwide. During the season (meaning not January or February) you can buy tickets to see grand opera and ballet productions, as well as hear the Buenos Aires Philharmonic Orchestra. Otherwise, there are guided tours throughout the day every day, even on most holidays, where you can get a closer look at this Buenos Aires jewel." (https://www.10best.com/destinations/argentina/bu)
