Concierge.com's insider take:
The twin stuffed cows that flank the entryway are a vivid foreshadowing of what's to come at La Cabaña. This luxe steakhouse reopened in late 2003, after a seven-year hiatus, on a posh calle in embassy-studded Recoleta. At the original Cabaña, which opened in 1935, you might have bumped into Errol Flynn, Sophia Loren, or Evita, though the resuscitated version attracts more corporate-card carriers and diplomats than movie stars. Still, all are captivated by the showy open parrilla manned by technicians in gaucho garb (including floppy pantaloons known as bombachas), walls covered with polo memorabilia, and an appropriately macho brown-leather menu brimming with options from bife de chorizo (similar to porterhouse) to asado de tira (beef ribs). Adventurous eaters will adore the assorted entrails platter, which arrives sizzling with enough sweetbreads, kidneys, chorizos, and morcilla (blood sausage) to satisfy a table full of hungry carnivores. Don't forget to touch the cows' tails on your way out, for good luck.
Open daily noon to 4 pm and 7 pm to midnight.
