The Room
Parrilla Peña opened in Recoleta in 1953 — Buenos Aires's senior neighbourhood-parrilla family-restaurant. Seventy-two years later the Peña family is still on the floor.
The dining room is intentionally Argentine-traditional.
The Food
The parrilla programme runs the canonical Argentine cuts. The empanadas, the seasonal-rotating Argentine preparations handle the menu's wider draws.
Wine programme is Argentine. Service is the long-running Peña-family brigade book.
Best Occasion Fit
Birthday: Birthdays at Parrilla Peña are warm, family-parrilla affairs the room has hosted for over seven decades.
Team Dinner: Parrilla Peña handles team dinners better than most Recoleta counters.
First Date: Parrilla Peña is a casual Recoleta first-date alternative.
