Happening is a classic, old-school parrilla in Puerto Madero that has been serving Buenos Aires' business and political elite for decades, with a level of polish and service that sets it apart from more casual grill houses. The cuts are impeccable — the lomo and costillas are particularly good — and the wine list is deep with Argentine labels. It's expensive and the Puerto Madero location feels removed from the city's energy, but for a formal steak dinner it's hard to beat.
