The archetypal no-frills
parrilla
A gorgeously romantic spot,
La Cabrera comprises two small
rooms characterized by bare-brick
walls, mosaic floors, and wooden
furniture. The steaks are some of
the best in town, and the wine
list is excellent. Outdoor tables
are available as well
, Desnivel brims with
locals, tourists, and artists. Faded
pictures hang on walls and the
waiters are the cheeriest in town.
Slabs of steak sizzle on the open
grill before being whisked to
tables.
