Buenos Aires Restaurant was originally opened in 2007 at Clarks Beach, and following very succesful response from locals and many people coming from all around Auckland, we decided to move onwards and upwards and relocated our restaurant to the heart of Auckland. We finally opened the new Buenos Aires Restaurant at 234 Jervois Rd, Herne Bay in August 2010, featuring the NZ-first open woodfire grill (worldwide known Argentinean-style "Parrilla", as we call it - the secret to the flavour and tenderness of our meals).
While this is a traditional grill in most restaurants in Argentina, this concept took New Zealand by surprise, as during our opening night two Fire Brigade Trucks came over to try to put out the fire! (Of course we invited the firefighters for dinner and had a big laugh about it).
The concept of having the Parrilla upfront of the restaurant is to set up a relaxed atmosphere to share with family and friends, and of course, savouring a delicious steak cooked to true "gaucho" style and flavour while enjoying fine and luscious Argentinean or New Zealand red wine.
We would like to invite you to visit us to relax and enjoy a unique dining experience within a Buenos Aires environment, without having to travel that far!
Don't forget we also have live entertainment, Tango shows including singers and dancers, jazz band, latin guitarist, wine tasting and much more from time to time, so please check our event schedules.

birthday.Perfect hosts where nothing was a problem.Meal's were a
pleasure to eat.Recommend this Restaurant to everyone-brilliant

26th January 2012 Went here last year for my 18th birthday. Really great place! The atmosphere was perfect, option of a nice private table and there was a live band playing. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful from the time we stepped foot into the restaurant. The band even played me Happy Birthday as the waiter had realised it was my birthday! The food was very good with generous proportions. Ever main comes with two sides of your choice which was great. My partner had steak which he devoured quickly, whilst I chose Canelones de espinaca which was delicious! On top of that, they have a great selection of drinks and the Flan mixto/ creme brule we had for desert was extremely neatly presented and delicious! Furthermore the owner of the restaurant was very friendly and even came and asked us how our meals and dining experience was. Would recommend to everyone!

6th November 2011 My wife is Argentinian and we have both eaten a lot of steak here and in Argentina.
The steak here was perfect! and the empanadas to die for.The staff were great and friendly (was our waitresses first night)
The vibe was nice and chilled.
We will definitely go back, was a great night

3rd October 2011 Went here for my son's 15th birthday last Friday night - very busy and buzzy - service was good although slightly stretched due to being busy. Starters were good as were drinks - had wine by the glass and very generous pour. Had 3 x 15 year old boys to feed and two ordered steak as did my husband - scotch fillet wrapped in bacon cooked medium rare. Very disappointed to report meat was chewy! Main reason we went to this restaurant was because of the meat/grill aspect so not happy with the meat at all. I had fish which was good and one of the boys had ribs which were pretty good although slightly chewy as well. Afraid we would not race back.

18th December 2010 Part of a group of about 20. Food was fantastic although we felt "cheated out of our sides (6 dishes between 4 people when it should have been 8 dishes) and only one serving (3 pieces) of the Camembert, we had to fight over it. Again everyone raved about the food although I thought the chicken was a little on the mingy side given the portion sizes (a leg and thigh cooked on the bone would have been awesome) and the tomato starter could have had a nice ripened tomato instead of the hard tasteless one I was served. Staff were a bit slow with menu's and taking our orders, we were seated for an hour or more...and people were starving.
Washroom facilities were a total let down (score 1/5) and frankly bordered on disgusting. Big ladies would not have fitted into the ladies toilet, which had a wet floor and no mirror (come on guys, ladies like to be able to replace their lippy) and the disabled toilet was missing its seat!!!!
Overall a lovely night out although the restaurant did become exceedingly hot and could have benefited with the front doors being opened even partially.

15th September 2010 Fantastic Authentic Argentinean restaurant. Inside you feel like in Buenos Aires, and the meals (specially the beef) are top quality at realistic prices. Fine dining, tango shows, I'm coming back!
