As we build towards the The World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards at the end of June, we’ll be shining a weekly spotlight on last year’s Top 10.
A chance to recognise the standards, consistency, and creativity that set these restaurants apart — and the people behind them.
In at No.10 in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, Don Julio is a masterclass in doing the basics exceptionally well.
This isn’t about overcomplication or trends — it’s about produce, provenance, and precision. A family-run restaurant that has built its reputation on:
- Exceptional beef, farmed, butchered, and aged in-house
- A deep connection to Argentine terroir and regenerative farming
- One of the most impressive wine cellars in South America
- Hospitality that feels authentic, not manufactured
Nearly everything on the menu is sourced from their own farm, with a focus on seasonality and simplicity — proving that when the fundamentals are right, you don’t need to over-engineer the plate.
What stands out most is the consistency. Over 25 years, Don Julio has stayed true to its identity while still evolving — a lesson in building something that lasts.
