Rank 1. Lana
Argentine
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.

Rank 2. Gurisa
Argentine
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.

Rank 2. Nacha
Argentine Bistro
The walls here are deliberately left chipped, because the room has stories to tell. Nacha is a bistro with an Argentine and Mediterranean soul, sharing plates designed around grilled meats but not defined by them. It sits across from the CondeDuque culture center in a former old café, all slender wrought iron columns and a vintage air nobody had to manufacture. The short menu leans Spanish and Argentine, with detours elsewhere kept sensible.
