Lezama is a classic Argentinian parrilla restaurant, located on the lush green Parque Lezama, which was once the private garden of the wealthy Lezama family. It is easy to spot, right next to the Russian Orthodox Church, and is generally less full of tourists than many of the other establishments in San Telmo. It serves tasty traditionally barbecued steaks and other cuts in a classically Argentinian interior with high ceilings and wine bottles displayed on the walls. The staff are very friendly, and many have been employed there for over a decade, so they can certainly give some excellent recommendations.
