Blah Blah
Mysteriously described as a progressive bar in their advertising, this Argentinean parrilla (grill) is, indeed, run by an enthusiastic young team and the decor is modern (ish), with stone-clad walls and earth colors, but the food is meaty and traditional, with gut-busting grills like sausage, gizzard, beef and ribs. There are dishes that don’t require finger bowls, such as chicken breast with orange sauce and apple and, for the truly faint-hearted, Greek salad.

Cambalache
You can expect a good grilling at this, one of the better steak houses in town. The front window provides a taste of what’s to come, with steaks roasting on the spit. During the week, the low-ceiling dark wood dining room gets packed with local businessmen dining on a menu that, aside from the steaks, includes suckling pig, mixed grill, veal sweetbreads, fondues and (would you believe) a blessedly digestible watercress salad with a choice of Roquefort or bacon dressing.

Angus
This steak place attracts a slick business crowd, here for the excellent prime cuts and, possibly, the scantily-dressed waitresses in cowgirl gear. The vast closed-in terrace is the place to be; the interior dining room has stuffy burgundy upholstery and a private men’s-club look. The meaty choices include rib-eye and T-bone steaks, plus surf-and-turf steak or lobster and shrimp. Seriously homesick Yanks can kick-start their appetite with a bowl of clam chowder.

El Zorzal
Run by Buenos Aires expats, this is the best of many options for Argentine fare, with imported cuts, as well as fresh pasta and generous salads. The parrillada (M$460), a mixed grill served on a chopping board, feeds at least two. The small, unpretentious dining room is adorned with photos of Argentine songbird Carlos ‘El Zorzal’ Gardel.

El Diez
This unpretentious steak place is popular and well priced. Quality Argentine cuts, served on a cutting board with dressed salad, average under M$120, and Malbec wines are similarly reasonable. Those with less carnivorous appetites can order pizza by the square meter.

Fonda Garufa
One of the first restaurants in Condesa to put tables on the sidewalk and fire up a grill, La Garufa owes its longevity to the quality of its Argentine cuts and better-than-average pastas, as well as a romantic candlelit ambience.

Boludo
A slick modern interior combined with hearty cuts of imported Argentinean steak makes this a favorite with the briefcase brigade. Those with a lighter appetite can opt for enchiladas, sandwiches or a vegetable grill.
