Cantina Palermo — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

Awesomely decorated restaurant (there are jerseys, soccer memorabilia, and photos covering every square inch this place) with amazing food at incredible prices. We didn’t make a reservation so we got there right as they opened and they were able to seat us.

We ordered sliced beef with a mayonnaise white sauce and mollejitas al verdeo (mollejas with a green onion cream sauce) with fried potatoes as starters. The sliced beef dish (which is mainly eaten during Christmas) was good and basically tasted like room temperature lean beef with mayo. The mollejitas dish was amazing. The sauce was salty, creamy, and full of green onions. It complemented the fattyness of the mollejas and the fried potatoes just soaked up all of the delicious sauce.

For mains, we ordered canelones with bolognese, milanesa napolitana, and 1/4 fried chicken al verdeo (but just the green onions and no sauce). The canelones were filled with spinach and ricotta then topped with the meat sauce. The spinach and ricotta were soft and flavorful and the meat sauce added that meaty taste to the dish. The milanesa was good standard milanesa anyone would be happy with. The fried chicken was amazing but the green onion flavor didn’t penetrate as much as I would have liked. Also the fried potato slices in this dish were too crispy and not...

Great place, I enjoyed it more than I expected. We arrived around 9pm and all tables were taken - they took our names and called us in 40-50 minutes. First lesson: either arrive early, at 8pm or book a table as the place gets booked up and you will need to wait for quite a bit to be able to eat there.

Portions are massive - we had some quid as a starter then Milanesa for 2. We couldn’t finish our food, but they packed up the leftover to take it home. The Milanesa was absolutely huge and it came with Spanish style fried potatoes and parsley/garlic sauce. Before you start they bring fresh bread and olives for the wait. It’s a trap, be careful, you will need some stomach space for later on :)

Our waiter was fantastic, very good attention, really old fashioned, fast and personal service. Great atmosphere, everyone seemed to have a good time. There were so many families having dinner there and there was one birthday party too. The restaurant was full until they closed. I’d go back again, I had a great night.

With a bottle of wine, starter (squid), Milanesa, salad, plus water the bill came as 38.000 for two (took half of the Milanesa plate home). Given the portions were huge, it wasn’t wise to order the squid plate (it was the small one), just way...

Ya he ido varias veces a la cantina con amigos y esta última vez con la familia, les recomiendo reservar si es posible sino se tienen que comer una fila de espera de mínimo 40min. Se llena un montón de verdad.

Ahora el lugar típica bodega con porciones grandes que cada plato comen 2 fácil. La atmósfera del lugar es muy deportivo con franelas de fútbol en el techo y firmadas en la pared. La atención es buena pero vez a todos los mozos apurados y siempre en movimiento porque hay mucha gente para los pocos mozos. Pero en general buena atención.

La comida no tarda mucho en salir. Apesar de haber mucha gente en espera no sientes jamás una presión para irte, lugar muy ameno y ruidoso así que si quieres tranquilidad este no es tu sitio.

La comida como mencioné muy generosas las porciones. Yo siempre voy por los calamaretis o rabas. IMPERDIBLES! No se van arrepentir si los piden. Lo otro que creo que no falla son los pollo tipo brasa salteados en diferentes condimentos y topping que viene con fritas siempre.

La última vez pedimos el matahambre a la pizza, estuvo bien pero nada WOW. Y también he pedido el arroz a la marinera que la verdad no me gustó tanto. Iría creo que próx a picar y tomar una birra. Ya que las entradas no fallan, las gambas al ajillo estaban buenas también. Los precios acorde a la porción rondan entre 12000 en adelante. Hay pastas que no se ven mal pero no sé si serán buenas.

Ahora que si me parece costoso, las birras y vinos. 6.000$ creo que era el litro. Vale mucho más la pena pedí 1.5L de Pepsi en 2800$ si lo q vas es a comer.

Igual recomiendo el lugar para pasar una noche o tarde con amigos y familia.

Repito mejor Reservar! Porque se llena! Y pidan el calamareti y...
