The best Argentine food in Brazil, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide and The 50 have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Cora comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
More Less
Corrientes 348 - Marina da Glória and Pobre Juan hold the next two places. The Michelin Guide shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with The 50 next.

Rank 1. Cora
Argentine
Six floors above the Minhocão, this farm-to-table restaurant has a terrace washed in pink light and a short, shareable menu that changes whenever something better comes in. The kitchen leans into Brazilian produce filtered through a South American sensibility, and the crowd treats it like a neighborhood spot even though the address is anything but obvious. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.

Rank 2. Corrientes 348 - Marina da Glória
Argentine Barbecue
An Argentine steakhouse with a terrace that looks straight out over Marina da Glória, where the view alone could sell you a second glass of Malbec. The name nods to a classic tango, and the mood follows suit: expansive dining rooms, a glass-fronted wine cellar, and a menu built around serious cuts off the grill. Finish with the dulce de leche pancake and you'll understand why Argentina takes dessert personally.

Rank 2. Pobre Juan
Argentine
The scent of the parrilla hits before you've found your table, which is the point. Pobre Juan is an Argentine steakhouse mini-chain that takes its meat sourcing and ageing seriously, delivering premium cuts alongside Amazonian pirarucu and prawns in a room of warm wood and low light. The churros with dulce de leche close things out in a way that makes skipping dessert feel inadvisable.

Rank 2. Rufino Parrilla
Argentine Barbecue
An Argentinian parrilla that crossed the Rio Plata and kept going until it hit Leblon. The open grill is the centerpiece, turning out cuts like Tomahawk and Angus skirt steak while the room channels the unhurried elegance of a Buenos Aires steakhouse. An extensive list of Argentinian wines arrives to help slow things down further. Dulce de leche pancakes close the meal, because of course they do.
