La Brigada, Premium steakhouse in San Telmo, Argentina.
La Brigada is a steakhouse in the San Telmo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, known for its Argentine beef cuts such as bife de chorizo and sweetbreads. The restaurant occupies three floors of a building decorated with football jerseys and sports memorabilia.
The restaurant opened in 1992 in San Telmo, a neighborhood that was already known for its old buildings and traditional street market. Over the following decades, it became a reference for classic Argentine meat cooking in Buenos Aires.
The walls are covered with football jerseys and trophies, giving the place a feel that is deeply tied to Buenos Aires sports culture. Eating here is close to a local ritual, where a long table, good wine, and a generous cut of beef are all that matter.
The restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday and accepts reservations, which are recommended especially in the evening. Keep in mind that payment is cash only, so it is worth planning ahead before your visit.
The steaks served here are tender enough to be cut with just a spoon, without any need for a knife. This is not a marketing claim but a standard the kitchen has maintained since the early years.
