About this spot
In the leafy Recoleta district, Norte delivers serious Argentine grill that feels like a neighborhood institution rather than a tourist trap. You must order the chimichurri for your meat to cut through the rich fat of the parrilla classics like flank steak and chorizo. The atmosphere is unpretentious enough for a quick lunch or a long Sunday dinner with friends.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the chimichurri sauce on the side to keep it fresh for dipping throughout your meal.
- Ask for 'a la parrilla' when ordering meat to ensure it's cooked over open wood embers.
- Save room for medialunas, the sweet fried dough often served alongside salty meats.
