Best Argentine Restaurants in Madrid

Michelin SelectedRepsol

Martín and Joaquín Narváiz opened Lana in Ríos Rosas in 2022, and it's grown into the most-cited Argentine grill in Madrid's food press. The kitchen ages its own beef, some cuts held up to 350 days, working Argentine cuts alongside Spanish Rubia Gallega. The menu runs from a knife-cut beef empanada and an 18-month aged Wagyu cecina to a Hereford ojo de bife and a Rubia Gallega chuleta aged 250 days, all priced by weight. Beyond the grill, Marta's vitel tonné and charcoal-grilled suckling lamb croquettes round out the starters. The wine list is exclusively Argentine, organised by region: Mendoza, Patagonia, Salta. Lana holds two Repsol soles, a Michelin Guide Selected listing, and took the Academia Madrileña de Gastronomía's international-cuisine award in 2025. It's closed Sundays.

La Cabrera bills itself as a tribute to the culinary culture of the Río de la Plata, on Calle Velázquez in Salamanca. It's a parrilla working classic cuts over charcoal in the Argentine asado tradition: bife de chorizo, ojo de bife and asado de tira, plus a terrace and a strong wine list in a room that reads stylish and industrial. It's part of the Argentine grill franchise founded by Gastón Riveira. In 2023 it won second prize for hospitality at Meat Attraction, the trade fair run by IFEMA Madrid. It's open Monday to Saturday from noon to 11:30pm and Sunday from noon to 9pm, and runs around €51 to €100 per person.

La Cabaña Argentina is an Argentine steakhouse on Calle Ventura de la Vega, in the Cortes barrio of Centro. The menu runs on the grill: Argentine Angus, short ribs, skirt steak and sweetbreads, plus provoleta, grilled vegetables and octopus over quebracho charcoal, alongside Argentine Angus beef carpaccio and grilled artichokes with black truffle caviar and egg yolk. It's a big, group-friendly room with cocktails, open daily from 1:30pm to 11:30pm, and it runs on the higher end, around €30 to €70 per person.

Gurisa is chef Lucas Bustos's first Madrid project, an Argentine asador in Almagro set in the former home of Sergi Arola's two-Michelin-star Arola Gastro. It opened in June 2025. Fire runs through the whole menu, not just the mains: Iranian Beluga caviar with soft Galician potato crackers and 100% acorn-fed jamón ibérico open the market-starter section, before Argentine wagyu on the plancha, an Argentine Angus ribeye cap and a six-hour cooked blonde beef picaña. Dessert closes with a rogel made with Río de la Plata dulce de leche. There's à la carte and a tasting menu, an open kitchen, and a serious wine and cocktail list, in a room that's intimate and elegant. It's listed in the Michelin Guide, and open Tuesday to Saturday.

Nacha serves Argentine food on Calle Conde Duque, in the small, self-contained Conde Duque pocket of Centro. It opened in October 2024, opposite the Centro de Cultura Contemporánea Conde Duque. It's listed in the Michelin Guide, a listing rather than a star, and the format is sharing plates rather than courses: the kitchen's own Instagram has singled out a whole grilled molleja de corazón, heart sweetbread, and a smoked labneh among its plates. The room is small, warm-lit and intimate, with rustic decor and warm service. It's open Monday to Thursday from 20:00 to 00:30, and Friday and Saturday from 13:00 to 17:00 and 20:00 to 01:00; closed Sundays, with lunch a weekend-only thing. Prices run €26 to €50 per person.

Piantao Legazpi is where the Piantao Argentine-grill business started, on Paseo de la Chopera across from Matadero Madrid, before the group opened a second branch in Chamberí. It's listed in the Guía Repsol as Recomendado. Chef Javier Brichetto runs the grill: a Piantao Experience tasting menu runs starters like a criolla empanada and vitello tonnato into a bife de chorizo or Argentine skirt steak main, closing with a cheesecake made with dulce de leche. On the à la carte side, cuts run from chorizo criollo and Angus sweetbreads up to a 50-day-matured New York steak and a 30-day Ayrshire beef T-bone, priced by weight. It opens Wednesday to Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday.

Ceferino opened in January 2024 in the Recoletos part of Salamanca, backed by an Argentine group: Marcos Mc Cluskey, Mariano Menéndez and Felipe Williamson, with Emilio Souto directing operations and Jorge Campos designing an interior meant to evoke an Argentine estancia, in wood, marble and bronze candelabra. Chef Jorge Maximiliano Danilewicz runs the kitchen, with José Antonio Figueroa as master parrillero handling asado en cruz, cross-roasted meat, as the main focus, alongside a beef tenderloin milanesa, baked semolina gnocchi with mushroom ragù and sorrentinos with mozzarella and ricotta. Meat is sourced from Argentina, Spain, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Holland and the United States. A basement speakeasy, Malevo, sits below the dining room, and the wine list runs through Argentine regions like Salta, Patagonia and Mendoza.

Picsa takes the traditional Argentine pizza recipe and builds its own dough around it, baked in a wood-fired oven built by Jumaco & Maestro, a fourth-generation Madrid oven-maker, fired with controlled-felling holm oak. Much of what goes on top is made in-house too, including the cooked ham and a cheese blended from Galician varieties plus a couple the house keeps to itself. The picsas are built for two, from a simple Muzza up to specialties like Calabresa with 'nduja or confit duck and figs, alongside wood-fired oven empanadas and Porteño mezze like vitel tonné and baba ganoush. It holds a Repsol Solete, a lower distinction than a Repsol Sol, and coffee comes from Toma Café on an Italian machine brought from Milan.

Marcelo Settimo and Ana Antolini, an Argentine couple who moved to Madrid in 2020, opened the first Tita de Buenos Aires shop on Avenida de Menéndez Pelayo in 2021, across from Parque del Retiro. The business now runs several locations off its own obrador, handmaking Argentine empanadas: traditional and sweet beef, spicy shredded beef, BBQ rib, curried chicken, and vegetable and vegan versions made with Heura, among others. Beyond the empanadas, it makes sándwiches de miga, crustless Argentine sandwiches, and homemade Argentine desserts like alfajores de maicena, chocotorta and cheesecake. By its own account it took an honourable mention in the best gourmet shop category at the Premios Gastronómicos Metrópoli. Opening hours and prices aren't published; check the shop's own channels.

El Viejo Almacén de Buenos Aires has served Argentine food in Peña Grande, in the Fuencarral-El Pardo district, for more than forty years, holding onto the porteño feel it opened with. César Ruda, the second generation, runs it today, and the empanadas are still made to his mother's recipe. The dining room doubles as a shrine to Diego Maradona, and live tango runs most evenings. The grill is the draw: Argentine-origin ojo de bife and bife de chorizo, Uruguayan-origin medialuna de vacío and colita de cuadril, and old-cow cuts like a chuletón sold by the kilo, alongside Wagyu cecina, chorizo criollo and achuras. Empanadas follow a recipe dated on the menu to 1977, and desserts run to alfajores and a dulce-de-leche coulant. It's closed Mondays and Sundays.

La Choripanería brings an Argentine parrilla to Lavapiés, on Calle Ave María in the Embajadores barrio. Time Out's own write-up, published in February 2026, found it already four years into serving choripanes as a business founded by Argentines. The grill runs cuts like skirt steak and beef flank steak, plus a trio of homemade empanadas, provoleta with tomato and oregano, and a choricroquetón, alongside a milanesa fugazzeta. It's closed Mondays, opens evenings Tuesday to Thursday and from lunch Friday to Sunday, and it's one of the cheapest entries on this list, running roughly €10 to €20 per person. Desserts include a flan with dulce de leche and cream and a pancake with dulce de leche.

La Pampa, trading as Pampa Beef, is an Argentine grill on Calle del Príncipe, in the Barrio de las Letras between Plaza de Santa Ana and Puerta del Sol. The kitchen runs on charcoal-grilled meats: an Argentine-meats section lists ribeye, chuletón, sirloin and peppered sirloin, alongside a separate Spanish-meats section of flank steak, short rib strip and skirt steak, plus starters like provoleta, chorizo criollo and a creole empanada. It also runs a handful of pizzas and pastas alongside the grill. It's a popular, group-friendly spot open every day from 13:00 to 23:00, with a daily menu alongside the à la carte.

La Divina Bohemia sits on Calle de Don Pedro in La Latina, pairing exposed brick and a large mural with warm lighting for an intimate, bohemian feel. The kitchen cooks signature Argentine dishes from fresh, seasonal produce, with vegetarian and vegan options built in: a spinach and cheese empanada sits beside a spicy vegan pad thai, and the milanesa comes classic, napolitana or fugazzeta, in quarter, half or whole portions. There's also a dry-aged sirloin and a thin skirt burger, and desserts run to chocotorta and a flan with dulce de leche foam. It's closed Tuesdays, open late the rest of the week, and dog-friendly.
