El Ferroviario is a rustic, railroad-themed parrilla (steakhouse) tucked into a former rail yard in the Liniers neighborhood of Buenos Aires, prized by locals for its authentic asado and unpretentious atmosphere.
The restaurant’s setting is part of its appeal: a vintage steam locomotive sits near the entrance, and pits filled with whole pigs and rib racks smoke openly in the open air. Once a haunt for tango singers, poets, and gauchos, it still draws a mix of neighborhood regulars and visitors seeking a less touristy asado experience than the city center offers.
Signature dishes include the wide-cut Asado Ancho and breaded Milanesa. The restaurant does not take reservations and operates first come, first served, so arriving early is recommended on weekends.
