The Best Steakhouses Near Pizza Radical, by the Record

Quebracho wood feeds the open grill at the center of this modern Argentine parrilla in Chamberí, and the smoke sets the tone for everything that follows. Cuts from Spanish and South American breeds are dry-aged in-house, then handed to fire with a disciplined calm. The menu reaches past beef into empanadas and charred vegetables that pull their weight. The wine list bridges both continents, chosen for the grill rather than the label. Ranked fifth on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.

The open parrilla glows behind the long bar counter, and the scent of wood smoke follows you from the door to your seat. This Salesas grill room splits neatly in two: a no-reservations bar up front for tapas and wine, and a dining room behind it where Uruguayan and Iberian meat traditions meet over fire. Ranked among the World's Best Steak Restaurants, it draws a crowd that dresses up just enough to match the earthy, candlelit room.

Fire is the organizing principle at this Argentine grill in Chamberí, where the kitchen takes its cues from Mendoza's wine country and treats the hearth as something close to a philosophy. The chef behind it has deep roots in the Argentine wine world, and that terroir sensibility shapes everything on the plate. You can go à la carte or commit to a ten-course tasting menu, both of which make the case that smoke and good beef need very little help.

The Josper grill, the Basque parrilla, and the Castilian wood oven all get a turn here, which tells you this is a serious meat restaurant with a clear point of view. Rafa Zafra, known for his seafood-focused Estimar, pivoted hard to land, and the menu runs from Joselito cured ham to game to barbecued pinchos. The room is dim and urban-cool, the wine list is deep, and the crowd skews people who know exactly what they've ordered before sitting down.

The grill is the centerpiece here, surrounded by a charcuterie section and cuts of Wagyu, Angus, and aged beef that arrive without sides unless you ask for them separately. Aleño Brassafina is the more relaxed ground-floor steakhouse sibling to a Michelin-starred upstairs neighbor, and the whole setup is built for sharing. Order the pickled mussels early and let the table argue over which cut to order next.
