Located on Melrose Avenue, Carlitos Gardel is a family-owned steakhouse that has been providing the most authentic Argentine dining experience to guests for more than a quarter century. It’s been recognized by Michelin, won awards for its 17-page wine list, and was just named a top restaurant in LA by EATER. When you speak to the sons behind the restaurant, Gerard and Max, you understand why. Their passion for and dedication to the meat is like a religion, except for the fact that religion offers forgiveness. Put simply, at Carlitos Gardel as in all of Argentina, carne es todo.
