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.
