    An open-pit barbecue and a clay oven anchor the dining room at this contemporary asado restaurant inside the Faena Hotel, where the kitchen runs almost entirely on fire and smoke. Aberdeen Angus beef is sourced from dedicated ranches in Pampas and Patagonia, aged up to three weeks, then finished over local wood. The sommelier holds a Latin America's 50 Best award, and the 400-bottle Argentine wine list makes a decent case for why.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
