 | Buenos Aires Cabaña Las Lilas Reviews | 1 - 10 of 29 |  |
In my opinion, this has got to be the best parilla in all of Buenos Aires. I know some may disagree, but for me, when I ate at a steakhouse and the medallon de lomo melted in my mouth on 3 separate occassions, I was convinced Cabana Las Lilas was the best.
There's a small table cover per person. At lunch the table cover is 12 pesos and at dinner 14 pesos. The table "cover" includes dried tomatoes, mozzarella, olives, peppers, and delicious garlic bread. It comes on a huge plate, about 16 inches in diameter and gives enough to snack on while navigating the menu. You can see the tray in my pic.
This is a steak lover's paradise, so if you are not a steak aficionado, you might not do justice to the quality of steak here.
Octavio Caraballo is the owner, and Las Lilas raises their own cattle on their own private farms.
Main dishes will run between 38-44 pesos. appetizers 12-18 pesos, and desserts around 16 pesos.
If you're going for lunch, make sure you show up on time. Lunch is only served between 12-3:30. I say that because I saw people being turned down from going in after 3:30 at the front door.
Medallon de Lomo--I had it 3 times.
Chorizos Bombon--little mini sausages, yum!

Ok. The reviews I heard were accurate. This place is NOT worth the hype. Everyone told me this ahead of time and they were right. We used this again as a COW DO dinner for stragglers on Monday this year. I skipped out last year for a better meal with VTers and decided I should try it once.
I had the Medallion de Lomo. It was good. Nothing super fantastic though. The real gem of the menu is the smashed pumpkin. The rest is good but not great and CERTAINLY NOT worth the prices they charge in this place.

This restaurant has to be among the great steakhouses of the world. Dark wook sets the atmosphere as you walk in past their wine cellar and the grill where busy chefs make it all happen. You must come hungry, though, as meals wil be quite filling, but not at the level you find in some of the steakhouses in west Texas, USA. The restaurant raises its own cattle and this is obvious by their incredibly tender beef dishes. Not a beef eater? Then get some of their salmon. By American standards, their wine is pretty much being given away in terms of prices. Great selection from Mendoza valley and their wine list is divided between exceptional and very good wines.
You just have to try their "lomo," or tenderloin together with their puree of "calabaza." Life just doesn't get any better than this. And you don't even have to order an appetizer, because before you know it, there will be a huge plate before you full of chicken, salmon, anchiovies, bread, and cheese. And what's more, during our June 2004 visit, dinner for 2 with a bottle of wine and coffee (which they served with an assortment of delicious sweets) came up to about $46 American dollars!

For those of you not familiar with Argentine cuisine it consists of the following: meat, meat, and more meat. I recommend coming to this place on a COMPLETELY EMPTY STOMACH. You can see from the picture how huge the portions are. Prices are verrrry reasonable thanks to the exchange rate.
According to the guidebook, Cabana Las Lilas is one of the best steakhouses in Argentina. It is located in the up and coming area of Puerto Madero, right on the waterfront. Service was great, as you are served a variety of appetizers within seconds of being seated.
For those of you looking to practice your Spanish, "jugoso" means rare and "bien cocina" means well-done. Other essential phrases are "mas vino" which means "more wine".

Hmm... where to start... OK, the beef will never dissapoint you, that's true, but hey! we live in Beef Paradise, so why would you spend a minimum of 70 pesos (23 dollars) just for a coke, a piece of meat and a cover charge of 15 pesos? It's sooo not worth it. You can get extraordinary beef anywhere else and pay half as much, including a side order, a dessert and wine!
This place was created for tourists exclusively, as the prices are a total rip off. If you come to think of it, the prices are in dollars, not in pesos... 40 pesos for just a piece of grilled chicken??? Sure! that's 13 dollars. And one more thing, this place DOES NOT reflect what beef is for us at all! A gaucho would scream blue murder if he saw it! Leave a Comment

I was told by several people that this was the best steakhouse in all of Argentina, and believe me it held up to it's well earned reputation. The word amazing is the best word I could find for this place. I had the pleasure of having dinner here on Valentine's Day 2004. The prices here are a steal for the American dollar. Had probably one of the best steaks in my life here...The portions are HUGE !!! come to eat, because that's what your gonna do !!!!! The wine selections are outsanding and priced very well. Of course only Argentian wines are the served here with the exception of "Dom" and at 100 US dollars a bottle it might worth ordering a bottle or two. Appetizer's, main course for 2, dessert and 2 bottles of wine....$100 US. Try that in Morton's Steakhouse in the USA., which could easily run you $400 US..... PERFECT 10 out of 10
Rib-eye steak, T-bone.......were perfect....and BIG !!!! almost too big !!!!!! Leave a Comment Theme: SteakhousePrice: US$41 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: most expensiveDirections: Puerto Madero

I guess even a mediocre steakhouse in Buenos Aires is probably better than a good steakhouse in the U.S. They weren't kidding when they say that Argentina has the best meat! I don't normally eat meat, but I decided "when in Rome...." :) So, prior to my trip to Argentina, I started eating a little bit of beef in the U.S. so that I can compare. Well, the conclusion is that the steaks in BA are really yummy!! :) Cabana las Lilas has a great atmosphere that's more casual for a higher end restaurant. It's fairly big and it's right on the water with an outdoor patio. As you are waiting for your table, there is a big bar area with tables where the servers will come by with complimentary empanadas, mixed nuts, and champagne. The only complaint I had was that the service we got was somewhat mediocre. Granted, it was a Friday evening and VERY crowded, but still....Also, FYI, everything is served a la carte so you have to order side dishes separately if you want something else besides your choice of meat. Cabana las Lilas has their own estancia (ranch) from where they bring their beef for their restaurant.
I actually got shrimp since I don't normally eat meat so I had a bite of everyone else's which was really good. They also serve this cheese bread that is really yummy as well! :) The shrimp was actually really good! It was just cooked in olive oil and some seasoning and served (head on and everything) with potatoes. I'm not a beef expert, but I hear that some of the good choices are Ojo de Bife (rib eye), Bife de Chorizo (T-Bone), and Medallon de lomo (Tenderloin). The cows produce better meat because they are raised on the Pampas eating grass, unlike the US.

You get what you pay for in life, and the fact that Cabaña Las Lilas is one of the most expensive parilla restaurants in BA is proof of this: it is without a doubt the best restaurant of its kind in the city. The owner apparently flies in the beef daily from his own cattle ranch (estancia) in the Pampas, the vast grassland region of Argentina famous for producing the best beef in the world.
The food, ambience, service, and water-front location at Cabaña Las Lilas are all outstanding. If you are visiting BA from abroad and only eat at one restaurant, make this the one. If you live here and earn pesos, get your visitors to pick up the tab! (actually, it's still very inexpensive by U.S. standards).
Ojo de Bife, "jugoso" (Rib-Eye Steak, medium rare). Before I tried it myself, a friend told me it was so good it made her cry. She was right! Leave a Comment Theme: SteakhousePrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: most expensiveDirections: Puerto Madero
