La Brigada
Parrilla La Brigada
A San Telmo steakhouse founded in 1992, famous for its tender flank steak cut with a spoon by waiters, and a strong football atmosphere.
Located at Estados Unidos 465 in San Telmo, about a 5-minute walk from the San Telmo Market, this steakhouse was founded in 1992 by Hugo Echevarrieta. The interior is decorated with signed jerseys from legends like Messi and Maradona. The signature dish is the vacío (flank steak), which waiters cut at the table using only a spoon to demonstrate its tenderness; first-time visitors can also try the bife de chorizo (sirloin) and short ribs. Dinner is almost always fully booked, so reservations are recommended, and arriving before 20:00 is advised. Closed on Mondays, with separate lunch and dinner sessions. Compared to the famous spots in Palermo, this is much more convenient to combine with a sightseeing trip to San Telmo.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun 12:00–15:00, 20:00–24:00, closed Mondays
