10Best Latin American
Buenos Aires Grill
(Restaurants - Latin American)
2028 Virginia St, Seattle  98101 • 206-441-7076
Distance: ~0.50 mi *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. Take a trip to Buenos Aires at this Argentinean-style steakhouse, where the atmosphere springs to life with the seductive sounds of the tango, the aromas of wood-grilled beef, and an authentically rustic decor that's more Plaza de Mayo than Pioneer Square. For a traditional experience, regulars laud the parrillada (an Argentinean mixed grill of beef, chicken, and sausage); less adventuresome diners, however, are relieved to find a center-cut filet mignon and classic rib-eye on the menu as well. Ask for a table in the front room.
