The story
Since 1995, Cabaña Las Lilas has stood at the corner of tradition and warmth in Buenos Aires’ Puerto Madero district. The restaurant is the meeting point of a century-old cattle-breeding legacy and the hospitality of the Rubaiyat Group from São Paulo. The result is a place where the finest Argentine BBQ is presented with meticulous care.
The story begins in 1912, when Alfredo Hirsch dedicated himself to livestock excellence. Over decades, the family became a pioneer in bovine genetics, premium beef production, and vacuum-packed boneless exports. That expertise, combined with 80 years of hands-on experience, means every cut that reaches the grill is the product of careful selection and traceability. The partnership with Rubaiyat, led by Belarmino Fernández Iglesias, brought this tradition to the dining room.
Cabaña Las Lilas offers a menu that celebrates Argentine grilling—BBQ at its finest. Each steak is praised for its juiciness and exceptional quality. The restaurant also boasts an internationally award-winning wine list, which has been recognized by Wine Spectator since 2007. The setting, with options from a private VIP room to semi-enclosed spaces, suits both intimate dinners and larger events.
The restaurant describes itself as a place where tradition and warmth combine with hospitality. Guests are greeted by a team that treats every detail with care, from the origin of the meat to its presentation. The elegant interior, set in one of Buenos Aires’ most iconic waterfront areas, adds to the appeal.
In 2026, the Michelin guide awarded Cabaña Las Lilas a Recommended distinction, confirming its place among the city’s essential dining destinations. The New York Times had earlier named it one of the ten best restaurants in the world. But the real endorsement comes from the consistency: the same commitment to quality that began with Alfredo Hirsch continues today.
