What Keng Low likes about Balvanera:
A great place for Argentinian meat! Octopus was nicely cooked and paired with nice, slightly spicy dressing. The steak and potatoes were good just good meat. The chorizo pan was good too, though the presentation was a bit funny it was a burger instead of actual chorizo in a long hero style bread. The price is also much cheaper than most places for what you?re eating. Quaint little restaurant tucked away in East villa... View all feedback.

I absolutely LOVE Balvanera! It's a wonderful take on Argentine food--classics but with updated twists. Great wine offerings and a charming ambiance!

Balvanera is a hidden gem in the East Village, offering incredible Argentinian cuisine at a reasonable price. The restaurant's quaint charm is matched by the expertise of master chef Fernando, who creates dishes like perfectly cooked octopus and flavorful chorizo. The menu features a variety of delicious options, from tapas to steaks, all expertly prepared and presented. The attentive and friendly staff ensure a wonderful dining experience, whether you're enjoying bottomless brunch or a cozy dinner. With dishes like empanadas, ribeye steak, and flan, Balvanera is a must-visit for anyone looking for top-notch Argentinian food in Manhattan.
