Food & Drink One of my favorite all-around restaurants for great steaks and gourmet food - El Preferido de Palermo

This is simply too much to charge in a country like Argentina for a Milanese and fries. Considering the salaries. Is this place very busy now charging these kind of prices?

believe it or not , its always packed . You need to make a reservation

Yes this is what my friend told me. He said they are still always packed. He said this restaurant is probably more popular than Don Julio now. He told me it's the same owner now.

This is true. Still need a reservation but you can get in much easier now. I came here last week and booked the day before. I talked to the hostess and asked if they were slower and she told me they are still busy but not like last year. Seems everyone is a little bit slower. The food here is very good. Good for a special occasion. Brought my friend in town and this is her favorite place.

Yes even with the high prices this is a very busy restaurant. It's one of my favorites.

Yes that is right @CraigM. Very expensive place but to be fair this is one of the expensive places in town. And the portion is also big enough for 2 people. It has one of the best Milanese in BA in my opinion. Best fries in BA too. Prices lately are moving up again.

True. The portion is big but I have eaten it all before when I was really hungry. This place has gotten expensive but it's a favorite of locals and also always a lot of tourists in it.

Like many, I believe the peso is overvalued. It will be interesting to see what happens with the peso in 2025. Posted this today on X.

So it's US$60 for Milanese and fries?

Yes!!! It is shocking what this place is charging. It used to be a typical nice neighborhood restaurant and then the owner of Don Julio bought it. Now it is beyond my price range.
