"Located in the Four Seasons Hotel, Elena aims to be a benchmark for Argentina's finest aged meats while maintaining a relaxed, shareable dining style; I found spacious tables, generous portions, and a focus on heavyweight beef aged in dry chambers to perfect tenderness and flavor. Dishes range from Huancaína octopus and mushrooms with Patagonzola to charcuterie boards, curry lamb, and a Milanesa with truffled fries, but the highlights are the wood-fired meats from the Josper oven—try the 450 g bone-in Ribeye aged 45 days, the 950 g T-Bone for sharing, or the 'cut of the day' matured for 70 days—paired with sides like Triple Fried Fries, Pistachio Lime Cauliflower, or Sweet Potato with buffalo yogurt, and finished with a scoop of inventive housemade ice cream." - The MICHELIN Guide
