    I'd love a few recommendations for interesting restaurants in Buenos Aires.

    Excellent beef... Isn't that why you're visiting Argentina, after all? OK, OK the Tango is actually why I visited, but few will deny that the meat from the pampas grass-fed cattle is just delicious there!

    I liked Cabaña las Lilas. A lot. It is a carnivore's paradise.

    Oh yes, while in BA, I'd also recommend The Faena Hotel and Universe - even if you're not staying there, go have a drink by the pool there and check out the Starck-designed property.

    Before giving an answer, I notice that you asked about "interesting" restaurants, not good or excellent or fancy restaurants. What's exactly what you are looking for?

    Cabaña Las Lilas is very popular with tourists (which is why it is always so crowded), but locals who know their steaks avoid it. The atmosphere is a bit wild and the food and the service is spotty. But tourists just seem to love it and it's in all of the guide books. Also, the restaurant was also sold a few months ago, so it's actually gotten worse from what I've heard.

    For steak, Patagonia Sur located at Rocha 801 (tel. 4303-5917) is a terrific choice. It's pricey for Argentina, but definitely worth it.

    Sucre located at Mariscal Jose de Sucre 676 is a stylish modern bar and restaurant that serves excellent steaks and tapas. Terrific wines and very cool atmosphere. Don't miss the suspended catwalk that takes you above the action on your way to the bathrooms. Their telephone number is 4782 9082. Reservations are a good idea.

    Yeah, it's touristy... We knew that going into Cabana Las Lilas. Yet, our experience was delightful, and the beef we had there was better than my steak in Peter Luger (NYC), which is saying a lot.

    Judging by the above review, I guess Cabana Las Lilas is a "hit-or-miss" type establishment.
