Nestled in the vibrant Palermo neighborhood, El Preferido de Palermo offers a sophisticated journey into traditional Argentine cuisine, elegantly infused with contemporary flair. Housed in an iconic pink building dating back to 1885, the restaurant, reborn in 2019 under the stewardship of Pablo Rivero (of the acclaimed Don Julio) and chef Guido Tassi, beautifully preserves its historical 'bodegón' spirit with period floors, antique mirrors, and a charming L-shaped marble bar.
Designed for the discerning luxury traveler, El Preferido provides a warm, intimate, and lively ambiance, perfect for both leisurely lunches and refined evening dining. Guests are invited to observe the culinary team at work in the open kitchen or savor house-made charcuterie crafted by master butcher Tassi. The menu celebrates the rich heritage of Spanish and Italian-influenced Argentine dishes, with a strong emphasis on organic, seasonal produce harvested from the restaurant's own garden, alongside a meticulously curated selection of natural wines.
The experience is enhanced by attentive service and a commitment to sustainable practices, earning it a prestigious Michelin Green Star. Whether indulging in a classic milanesa or exploring artisanal charcuterie, El Preferido de Palermo offers an unforgettable culinary adventure that truly captures the essence of Buenos Aires.
