Beef Place

Argentine grill in a business district

Avenida del Brasil 30
Madrid, Madrid 28020
Spain
+34 91 556 4187

An informal modern restaurant in Madrid's northern financial district that offers rapid service and specialises in Grilled Argentine Beef. The menu also features a varied selection of salads to balance all that protein. For dessert, try Panqueques De Dulce De Leche (pancakes covered in thick sweet caramel). The wine list has good reds from Rioja, Somontano, Costa del Segre, Ribera del Duero, and Argentina. The house wine is a local variety (Jesús Díaz) from Colmenar de Oreja, in the province of Madrid.

Carreta

Tastes of Argentina & Uruguay Calle de Barbieri 10
Madrid, Madrid 28004
Spain
+34 91 532 7042 Renowned specialists in grilled red meats from Argentina and Uruguay, this kitchen also prepares a range of its own fresh pastas. The restaurant stays open until very late, haunted by hungry bohemians and night owls. There's live Latin American music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and shows for the kids during Sunday lunch. The waiters dress up like typical Argentinian gauchos (cowboys) to serve in the colonial style dining room.

Brazilian grill and music Pez Volador, 2
(Dr.Eqsuerdo)
Madrid, Madrid 28007
Spain
+34 91 504 3004
http://www.elrodizio.com It's a huge, bare dining room where you choose your starters from a hot and cold salad bar and order main courses from a limited selection of barbecued meats that arrive at your table on skewers. In addition to the salads you can choose starters like croquettes, pan-fried mushrooms, fried plantain, Brazilian green beans or curried mussels. The wine list has a bit of everything. At the back, there's a stage with a band playing cool Brazilian Bossa Nova music for the middle-aged business people and couples who come here.
