Sal y Leña (Santa Fe)

This contemporary Argentine-style steakhouse in Samara Shops brings wood-fired cuts and live tableside preparation to Santa Fe. The chimichurri and salsa criolla are made at your table to your exact preference, and the menu runs from imported beef cuts like rib eye and bife de chorizo to seafood including salmon and pasta with seafood in four-cheese sauce.

The empanadas — particularly the humita (sweet corn) — are a strong start, followed by provoleta, grilled provolone cheese served bubbling. The wine list covers both national and international bottles, and there are screens for catching fútbol matches. Reservations recommended, especially for weekend evenings.
