The Room
El Mirasol de la Recova opened in Retiro in 1967 — Buenos Aires's longest-running serious-parrilla institution. Fifty-eight years later the room is one of the city's most-enduring asado destinations.
The dining room is intentionally formal-Argentine.
The Food
The parrilla programme runs the canonical Argentine cuts. The seasonal-rotating preparations handle the menu's wider draws.
Wine programme is heavily Argentine — Mendoza Malbec the centre of gravity.
Best Occasion Fit

Birthday: Birthdays at El Mirasol are warm, parrilla-led affairs the room has hosted for over five decades.
