Don Julio Buenos Aires

Don Julio sits on Guatemala 4699, anchoring the street corner with its red-brick exterior. It is a long way from the tourist swell of Plaza Dorrego, positioned instead to serve the locals who have made this the definitive address for modern Argentinian grills.

The restaurant holds a Michelin star, is ranked no. 48 on La Liste, and was named the best restaurant in Latin America by the 2024 Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants list. While the city is crowded with steakhouses that rely on reputation alone, the kitchen here treats the grill with a precision that makes its neighbors feel static. The room runs smart and elegant, yet it avoids the stiff, hushed tone common in other fine dining rooms. It is a loud, confident alternative to the typical downtown experience, proving that a venue can hold international acclaim while remaining tethered to its neighborhood roots.
