About this spot
La Coqueta delivers the refined elegance of Recoleta with its signature parrillada, where you must order the ribeye and finish it with chimichurí on the side to avoid overwhelming the meat's flavor. The open kitchen buzzes with energy as chefs plate delicate empanadas and sear steaks over wood fires right in front of diners.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'parrillada completa' to get a sampler platter of beef, lamb, and chorizo before committing to a full cut.
- Ask for your steak medium-rare (media) as it is often cooked well-done by default in Argentine steakhouses.
- Save room for the dulce de leche flan, which is served warm and pairs perfectly with a glass of Malbec.
