The secret is out. La Cabrera is on the list of top Palermo parillas. Their specialties include Provolete de Cabra (melted goat-cheese) with sun-dried tomatoes, chicken in an orange and vodka sauce, along with typical parilla delicacies like lomo, chorizo, and grilled vegetables. Traditional desserts such as tiramisu, the chocolate vocano, and an oreo cookie and ice cream taste sensation are as popular as the giant meat plates which come accompanied with more side dishes than one can count. An extensive Argentine wine list, liquor, and beer are all available to complete the meal.

Meat arrives on long wooden pallets. Mounds of bread sit in wicker baskets on your table. The atmosphere is intimate at this small, corner restaurant but remains buzzing as waiters hurry back and forth and the space fills to capacity during peak dining hours. La Cabrera is where visitors and tourists alike comes to eat hearty meals, big enough for sharing. Quality food, a dapper waitstaff, and a top notch fine dining experience in a traditional porteño setting are all priorities at La Cabrera. Reservations come highly recommended for those planning to dine after 10pm. Entrées are between $15-$45 pesos. La Cabrera is open daily from 9am until the last person leaves, and accepts major credit cards.
