There are so many nice restaurants in Buenos Aires, with different styles of food, ambience and decoration that it is difficult to decide what is nice. However, when you are thinking of a special moment, a romantic dinner, a treat to make someone feel special and spend an unforgettable moment, we all need that unanimously beautiful place. This ranking of the 12 most beautiful restaurants in Buenos Aires meets that requirement.
1. Marti
Marti is the restaurant of chef Germán Martitegui. After Tegui, Martitegui announced that he would open Marti with one premise: a 100% vegan-friendly animal-free menu.
Everything at Marti is delicious and of extreme quality and flavor, but it is also simply one of the most beautiful restaurants in Buenos Aires. Simple, clear lines, lots of light and the beauty of a blue corridor that reveals its central bar after a hall, again lots of natural light and nature. The kitchen at sight, quiet but spectacular ambience accompany the dining experience at Marti.
📍Marti. Rodriguez Peña 1973

2. The Salons of Piano Nobile
Los Salones del Piano Nobile is one of the restaurants at the five-star Palacio Duhau Park Hyatt hotel in the heart of Recoleta.
It is one of the most beautiful restaurants in Buenos Aires for its simple and elegant decoration, but what really makes it a beautiful restaurant for lunch or dinner is that you can be in the lounge or in the garden: the Hyatt’s imposing garden is crossed by a staircase that is illuminated at night. Sublime and beautiful. In addition to dining, the Hyatt’s garden hosts different events every week.
📍The Piano Nobile Salons. Park Hyatt Palace. Posadas 1661

3. Sacro
Sacro is a pearl in Palermo, almost a secret that perfectly combines a 100% plant-based food with a cuisine that seeks to surprise (did you know they have activated charcoal empanadas?) and a dark environment that isolates you from everything so that, perhaps on purpose, you can immerse yourself in their proposal. Its lounge is of a deep beauty in dark blue tones and beyond, its jungle patio. Truly jungle-like, eating in the jungle has never been more subtle and beautiful. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful restaurants in Buenos Aires.
📍Sacro. Costa Rica 6038
Open from Tuesday to Sunday. With and without reservation. Reservations IG @sacroresto
4. Mamba Restaurant
Mamba’ s proposal is from another planet. Its architecture and space make it difficult to define: it’s cute, it’s beautiful, it’s weird…Mamba is all that.
It is that unconventional beauty that makes it one of the most different and beautiful restaurants in Buenos Aires. There are cocktails, a varied menu where what stands out is the combination to always innovate. The presentation of each of its dishes is very well planned, ‘so that each dish or each drink that goes to your table stays with you.
📍Mamba Restaurant. Soler 5130
📅 Open from Tuesday to Sunday from 20hs to 00.30hs. Reservations on their website
5. January restaurant
Enero is one of the nicest restaurants on the Buenos Aires waterfront. Going to the bar is almost a must, even when you are not waiting for your table.
Its tables in the garden are beautiful but the most beautiful and special thing is that being located on the waterfront you have a privileged view of the river, especially for a romantic dinner. Are you exposed? Not at all. The whole garden is surrounded by vegetation that makes you be outside, close to the river and at the same time sheltered. Totally intimate atmosphere.
📍January Restaurant. Av. Costanera Rafael Obligado 6710.
📅 Open every day from 12hs to 03hs
6. Niño Gordo
Niño Gordo is an Asian grill that deliciously fuses Asian food with Argentinean grill. It is not surprising that there is always a wait to get into Niño Gordo because it gets crowded. Vietnamese, Thai, Korean and Chinese food with that Argentinean touch attracts crowds. Its aromas attract from the door but what is most striking, if you have never been there, are the colors and Asian decor that merges with the local and gives a restaurant that could be like many others and it is not. Niño Gordo is a beautiful place to eat and enjoy.
📍Niño Gordo. Thames 1810
📅 Open from Tuesday to Friday from 20hs to 00hs. Weekends from 13hs to 17hs and 20hs to 00hs.

7. Le Croque Madam at the Palacio Paz
The Palacio Paz is a beautiful palace from 1914 that houses a restaurant, Le Croque Madame, where you can have a great snack, dinner or lunch in its internal rooms overlooking its beautiful garden, or in the garden itself if it’s a sunny day. It is located between Retiro and Recoleta and you might think it is bustling but not at all: Palacio Paz makes its patio one of the most beautiful restaurants in Buenos Aires, for its imposing atmosphere, its tranquility and its gastronomy.
📍Le Croque Madam at Palacio Paz. Santa Fé 760
📅 Open every day from 10am to midnight.
8. Mishiguene
Mishiguene in Yiddish means crazy, and to discover new things and see them with a different look you have to be a little crazy. That’s the menu of Mishiguene, discoverer of traditional dishes from the Jewish Diaspora but brought to the Argentine palate.
Small, intimate, a dimly lit and very dim atmosphere perfect for an intimate dinner and a romantic evening. Also, twice recognized as one of the best 50 restaurants in Latin America and one of the most beautiful restaurants in Buenos Aires.
📍Mishiguene. Lafinur 3368
📅 Open every day from 7 pm to 00.30 am.
9. Amelí
Amelie is one of the most beautiful restaurants in Buenos Aires. It is located in lower San Isidro, an area that for years has been gaining gastronomic strength for its restaurants and bars and for its proximity to the river bank, which makes it special. The ceiling of its interior hall is vaulted and all made of wood, which with the natural light and the vegetation makes it feel like an oasis where you can eat very rich and varied food: its menu includes pastas, sushi, traditional meat and fish dishes.
📍 Ameli. Dardo Rocha 1810. Martinez
Open from Tuesday to Sunday from 12hs to 01hs.
10. Roux
If you are walking down Azcuénaga or Peña street, you might be surprised to see a restaurant like Roux there. Because it is a small corner but you can’t help but pay attention to it if you see it.
Inside Roux is white, surrounded by windows, few tables and is one of many places in Buenos Aires with a unique Parisian atmosphere. Its secret, a cellar on a lower floor where you can also dine, ideal for groups. If you want a touch of Paris in Buenos Aires, you know where to look.
📍Roux. Peña 2300
Open from Monday to Saturday from 12hs to 15.30hs and from 19hs to 00hs.
11. Elena
Elena is one of the restaurants of the Four Seasons Hotel, one of the most spectacular 5-star hotels in Buenos Aires. To enter Elena is to enter a truly warm place, where you are welcomed with a smile. The kitchen is at sight, the tones are warm, lots of wood, leather and smells that make Elena one of the nicest restaurants in Buenos Aires.
Elena 📍Posadas 1086
12. Caseros
How not to include in this list of beautiful restaurants in Buenos Aires this pearl of Caseros Avenue. It is not a stunning restaurant, we warn you, it is simple, with wide white tablecloths, lots of flowers, fresh things, freshly made homemade food. It is not huge either, no. You’ll see the kitchen and the waiters working near you, but isn’t that beautiful too? If you are one of those who find beauty in simplicity, Caseros. Vegetarian cuisine, but also meats, good wine and great for sitting on the sidewalk in the sun.
Caseros 📍Caseros Av. 486
📅 Open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10hs to 00hs
