Beef Quest Completion
Date: 9th September 2006
Time: 23:00pm
Location: El Boliche "de Alberto", "Parillia y Pastas", Villegas 347, Bariloche, Rio Negra, Argentina, South America, Planet Earth.
Order: 1/2 Portion Bife de Lomo, 1/2 of Lamb, 1 Chorizo Sausage, and a Salad Mixta.
Photo Evidence:
Other Comments: The best beef in the world. As regular readers will know this was the second time we vistied the legendary resturant "Albertos" in Bariloche.
We had been told about the steak here from many different backpackers as far a field as Methven, New Zealand. The first visit hadn´t provided the goods. Upon Saturday nights visit we specifically told the waiter/cook we wanted to eat the most tender beef in the world. My God did he oblige. Imagine ice cream melting on a warm stove. This is what it was like to put a slice of this beef in your mouth. The HUGE steak knifes they gave you just needed to be rested on top of the steak. A simple movement back and forth was enough to cut through.
At Albertos they don´t give you a sauce, simply just the steak on a clean white plate. That´s enough, they know it, and you know it once you have tasted their slice of heaven.
In the words of Mastercard:
4 English Pounds: Two steaks of the best beef in the world.
5 English Pounds: One bottle of ´Trapiche Broquel Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot´
Priceless: How someone can make such a s**t salad in such an amazing resturant.
Time: 23:00pm

i bet mum's steak that's she's done for my birthday dinner on Saturday gives that one a run for it's money! no pressure mum or anything!
So glad that you finally discovered the truth. Alberto should be given a nobel prize for culinary enlightenment. The man has devoted a lifetime to the perfection of the simple steak!! (As evidenced by his lack of concentration on your salad it would seem!) Back home in Edinburgh now and not sure that my palate will ever recover from my brief taste of Barilochian Utopia. Sorry Ruthie but your mum's got a long way to go...
