Elena Buenos Aires

Elena is at 1086/88 Posadas. It sits a ten-minute walk from the boutiques lining Avenida Alvear, holding the no. 71 spot on the 2024 World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants list.

The kitchen serves a menu of Argentinian, seafood, and Mediterranean dishes, leaning into a style that is dressier than the typical neighborhood grill. While many steakhouses in the city focus on the smoke of the hearth, this room runs smart and prioritizes a polished environment over the raw, frantic energy of an old-school parrillada. It is the better choice for those who want their meat cooked with precision rather than tradition, offering a composed experience that feels more like a deliberate evening out than a hurried meal.
