Steakhouses in Argentina

The website sallybernstein.com says Argentina has the highest per capita consumption of meat in the world, and that the world's best parillas (steakhouses) are in Argentina. These restaurants serve big, tasty, juicy and tender steaks. Prices are often cheaper than in other parts of the world, although names of the cuts may differ. These restaurants offer salads and wine as accompaniment, with chicken, pork, and fish as alternatives to the steaks.
