Don Julio
No.10 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef

Veronica's Take
Don Julio, the unassuming corner steakhouse in Buenos Aires' Palermo neighborhood, just clinched the No.10 spot on the World's 50 Best 2025 list, and it's a testament to owner-sommelier Pablo Rivero's relentless devotion to Argentine tradition. For 25 years, Rivero has been perfecting the art of grilling, sourcing the finest local beef and wines while championing regenerative farming practices that respect Argentina's terroir. This isn't just a restaurant; it's a family-run temple of authenticity where every dish tells a story of the land and its people. If you're in Buenos Aires, skipping Don Julio would be a crime against culinary pilgrimage.
