Buenos Aires Restaurant was originally opened in 2007 at Clarks Beach, and following very succesful response from locals and many people coming from all around Auckland, we decided to move onwards and upwards and relocated our restaurant to the heart of Auckland. We finally opened the new Buenos Aires Restaurant at 234 Jervois Rd, Herne Bay in August 2010, featuring the NZ-first open woodfire grill (worldwide known Argentinean-style “Parrilla”, as we call it – the secret to the flavour and tenderness of our meals).
While this is a traditional grill in most restaurants in Argentina, this concept took New Zealand by surprise, as during our opening night two Fire Brigade Trucks came over to try to put out the fire! (Of course we invited the firefighters for dinner and had a big laugh about it).
The concept of having the Parrilla upfront of the restaurant is to set up a relaxed atmosphere to share with family and friends, and of course, savouring a delicious steak cooked to true “gaucho” style and flavour while enjoying fine and luscious Argentinean or New Zealand red wine.
We would like to invite you to visit us to relax and enjoy a unique dining experience within a Buenos Aires environment, without having to travel that far!
Don’t forget we also have live entertainment, Tango shows, jazz band and much more from time to time, so please check our event schedules.

I live in Freemans Bay and the best thing that happend to the area in 2010 is Buenos Aires restaurant. It’s a meat lover paradise. I became a regular of the restaurant and go there once or twice per week. I dine out regularly and always look for new options but I must say now that my wild scavanging looking for new restaurants has slow down. I have tried almost all the meat cuts from the menu and the portions were always cooked to perfection and big (I am 6 foot tall and have a big stomach). Normally when I go out I’ll have entree, main and dessert and still be hungry afterwars due to the small servings some people do, but in Buenos Aires I don’t get to eat dessert because I am full after the entree and the main (that comes with two side dishes of your choice for FREE!!)
I definitelly recommended to everyone. I even go sometimes with a vegetarian friend and according to her they have good vegetarian options.
Cheers

Did you eat at this restaurant? Have an opinion to share?
We went there many times, either on our own or taking family and friends with us. My boyfriend even had his 21st birthday party at Buenos Aires, and all of his friends loved the food!
The best steaks are scotch fillet wrapped in bacon and eye fillet wrapped in prosciutto, cooked perfectly to the level you want it to be! Two free sides come with the main course, great value!
Needless to say, the service is superb too! All the waiters and waitresses are really friendly. There was a mistake about how he wanted the steak, and he was immediately compensated with a free chorizo sausage.
Just a note to people who wants to try there, please book in advance because they are extremely busy! Enjoy the steak!
