Buenos Aires evening with European architecture and tango energy

La Carnicería Buenos Aires

parrilla·$$·Palermo Soho

This butcher-shop-turned-restaurant takes the farm-to-table concept seriously, sourcing whole animals from small ranches and butchering them on-site. The front of house still functions as a carnicería where you can buy cuts to cook at home; the back opens into a minimalist dining room with an open parrilla. The menu is concise and changes based on what's been broken down that week—expect lesser-known cuts like entraña, vacío, and sweetbreads alongside the classics. Everything is cooked simply over wood coals, seasoned with salt, and served with basic sides. It's not refined or revolutionary, just honest meat cooked with skill and respect for the animal. Prices are fair, portions are generous, and the wine list focuses on natural Argentine producers.
