    You just cannot go wrong with Parillada Deluxe. The best steak I have had in my life. Need to go to Argentina to get comparison, but so far so good.

    Broadway Market is still a hidden treasure in London Fields and Buen Ayre is certainly one of the main reasons why you need to go there. My recommendation is to go for the Parrillada Deluxe.

    Delicious meat, very generous portions, good value. Parrillada Mixta: great selection of cuts - ribeye, sirloin, rump, short rib, fillet - sausage, blood sausage, portobello mushroom, provolone cheese

    The Parrillada Deluxe platter is superb. Be prepared to eat a lot of great meat. Wash it down with one of the Malbecs on the wine menu.

    The best beef i've ever had by far. Really huge portions and really friendly staff. A must have.

    Fantastic!! Never disappoints - great food, service & wine. Only downside is the lighting - would be lovely if they could turn it down a bit in the evening.

    Arrive with an appetite. Leave with a severe case of the meat sweats. Steak so good it makes me wish that humans had 4 stomachs too.

    The parrilladas (braziers) are very big. I got the buen ayre one for 2 people, and we could barely finish it!! However they were quite happy for us to take home the leftovers.

    Steak sandwich at lunchtime is great! However the wait time can be quite long, depending on when you come in

    Unpretentious and super tasty. I've paid twice as much in London for steak that doesn't come close. That grill just cooks them to perfection.

    The meat was excellent, nice atmosphere in the little patio behind the main room of the restaurant.

    I've been here twice - first for my stag, when we had 2 mixed grills. Really good, and a proper feast for a table of guys. The 2nd time with my wife was just ok - huge steaks but quality was average.

    Everything they say about this place is true. If you haven't eaten a lot of meat recently - go easy.

    When you are 4 or more, don’t just have fillet, mix it up. Parrillada Deluxe with a Parrillada Buen Ayre. The best flavours are in the scary bits! Reserva Malbec 2007 makes a delicious complement.

    Don't hesitate and go for the 'Parrillada'. You won't be disappointed. Which one? Any of them will make you happy.

    Other Argentina-themed steakhouses might have more clichés and cowhide on the wall, but Buen Ayre is the only one that has an authentic parrilla grill which will offer an experience like no other. Read more

    Very sad to write such a bad review because the place is cool ambiance-wise. £140 for very average meat and 3 (warm) glasses of red wine. Inattentive service too. Maybe if it was a third of the price.

    Steaks are massive. Grill for two easily feeds more.

    Best steak I have eaten in London by a country mile. The puddle of melted cheese is also a winner.

    Do not get a parrillada to share. They give you the whole cow. It's way too much meat and very off-putting! I lost my appetite looking at the platter!
