Parilla Bueno Ayres in East Lothian

What a superb steak restaurant. Group of 6 of us and no complaints from anyone. The rump was ordered medium rare and came perfect, arguably the best cooked steak I've had.

First time at the restaurant, and the staff accommodated our halal meat choices and even served free dessert as a small anniversary token for us! The meat was amazing, and so was the service 👍🏽

Jessy was brilliant, service was amazing and the food was fantastic. Lovely lively atmosphere.

Excellent food! Would recommend the sharing options. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Really delicious food. Fantastic friendly service - especially Jasim who made us laugh.....a lot. This is our 4th time here and we will definitely be back.

My favourite restaurant. Good food and friendly staff.

Very nice restaurant, decor was lovely. First visit and we loved the food. We will be back for more.

Gorgeous food, beautiful restaurant; staff couldn’t do more, so attentive. If you like gaucho you’ll love this place.

Lovely meal for my parents anniversary. Meal was excellent and staff added a fee really nice details knowing it was an anniversary dinner. Will definitely be back!

Fourth time visiting, this time to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Steaks were delicious and perfectly cooked as requested. Staff are friendly and service was good. Can highly recommend.

Just fantastic. Everything cooked to perfection.

Amazing steak, good wine list, friendly and helpful staff, welcoming atmosphere.

Food was amazing,the burger and steak just melted on your mouth.Staff very helpful and friendly. This place never disappoints you. Please come yourself.

Delicious. Friendly and well priced.

Highly recommended. The most beautiful fillet steak cooked to perfection. Lovely staff, cosy atmosphere and good service. Can't wait to go back again.

Tables are to close together, but the food and service is amazing. The flavour of the steak 😋 recommend the side of macaroni and cheese. Amazing.

Amazing, great atmosphere staff are so friendly and accommodating. Food was top notch and would thoroughly recommend to you all- Chateaubriand was excellent

Last night I had the best T-bone steak in my life😁. Highly recommended! Being a true steak lover- I can go and have that bad boy every week - it was that good!!! Kudos to the chef. Also the starters, side dishes alongside the dessert were simply brilliant. Overall, great atmosphere, friendly staffs and definitely will be back soon.

First visit, was not disappointed! We had eyes bigger than our bellies, but everything was lovely, the creamed spinach was perfectly laced with garlic *chef's kiss*

Update 30tj August 2024... still flipping brilliant Update 27th May 2024... Excellent service, nice to the see the menu evolve over the years. Blooming gorgeous Original review - Always been great steaks and all round value for money but now everything's just better. No point going into Edinburgh when Musselburgh has this cracking restaurant.

A lovely night with great quality food and wine. joshim was very friendly and helpful, made us feel at home.

Anniversary dinner and we were both delighted with the food and service. All the staff were very attentive and helpful. Once again a fantastic evening. The only query I have is why is the food served on cold plates?

Can't fault it in any way, great food, attentive service, lovely place.

Stepping into Parilla Argentinian in Musselburgh is like being transported to the heart of Buenos Aires. Having lived in Argentina, I can confidently say that this restaurant offers an authentic culinary experience that rivals some of the best parillas back home. The moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by the warm and inviting ambiance reminiscent of a traditional Argentinian steakhouse. The aroma of sizzling meats wafts through the air, instantly transporting you to the bustling streets of Argentina. The menu is a celebration of Argentine cuisine, featuring a wide array of classic dishes that are both familiar and comforting. The empanadas are perfectly crafted, with a flaky crust that gives way to a flavorful filling. Each bite is a reminder of the street vendors in Buenos Aires, serving up these delicious treats. Of course, the star of the show is the asado, and Parilla Argentinian does not disappoint. The selection of meats is exceptional, cooked to perfection on their traditional parrilla grill. The beef is tender and juicy, with that unmistakable smoky flavor that only a true parilla can achieve. The chimichurri sauce, made in-house, is the perfect complement, adding a fresh and tangy kick to each mouthful. The staff at Parilla Argentinian are incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations and making sure that every guest feels like part of the family. Their passion for Argentine culture and cuisine shines through in their service, adding to the overall experience.

For anyone longing for a taste of home or seeking to explore the vibrant world of Argentine cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit. It’s a dining experience that leaves you craving more and feeling as though you've just taken a delightful journey to the heart of Argentina.

This is the perfect steakhouse. Super delicious food and lovely service. They gave us a detailed introduction to different steaks, and gave good recommendations based on what we wanted. We also ordered a bottle of Argentinean Malbec and it matched our food very well. Very happy with our experience and will definitely come back again!

People very polite and ready to help! Meat is top, very well cooked and presented. Dessert was sublime (Argentinian rice pudding! Highly recommend!

It's a good place. But I was expecting more for the name and price.

Recently moved to the area and went here for our first meal out in Musselburgh for my birthday. Food was really good and good service. Lights maybe a little bright which takes away from the atmosphere - but that's a minor note

Great visit to the fully booked steakhouse on a Saturday night. Drinks are prompt. Food Did take 45 mins alongside the other tables who ordered the same time as me. This doesn’t bother me as we had nowhere to be and liked the atmosphere and drinks. When the food comes it is so worth it. We got the sharer steak options and it was amazing value for money. Cannot recommend this place in Musselburgh enough. The bordelaise sauce is to die for

Lovely dinner would highly recommend the lamb steak and chimichuri. Great service showing us in person all the difference steak cuts and specials of the day. Please note parking can be limited in Musselburgh high street.

Highly recommended, delicious food.

Food is delicious, service amazing and friendly, atmosphere is very nice and welcoming. Highly recommended

Possibly booking a table is recomendable. Once you manage to sit down, they want you out rather quick. But the meat is excellent!!

Had a fabulous birthday meal - love these guys, food is outstanding and always a lovely welcome

Steak lovely, atmosphere great, good service from friendly staff

Absolutely lovely meal lovely staff and good atmosphere definitely recommend it

Fantastic juicy steaks. Cuts explained. Delicious sauces and sides. Yummy pudding. Eaten here twice now and it was top notch both times. Very attentive service, too.

Top quality, full flavoured and perfectly cookie meat. We had 3 different meals and all of them were perfect. Great place for steak fans.

Absolutely delicious steaks! I was advised to have mine well done as I am pregnant. Normally, I'd much prefer a medium rare steak, so I was worried it might be dry, but I was very pleased to be wrong - even served well done - the fillet steak was mouth-watering and went beautifully with the Salsa Verde. Despite having a small appetite at the moment, I demolished the lot and even went for the rice pudding after which didn't disappoint either. We will definitely be back again!

Absolutely phenomenal. Great service, incredible food at a surprisingly low price. We were pleased at every step of our experience. If in the area I’ll absolutely be coming in again for another steak.

This is one of best restaurant in Glasgow for outstanding service, food and ambient...👌

Taco was fantastic, and the sirloin steak was great. The dessert was nice.

Super food, prepared to perfection. We'll be back

Great steak, small restaurant. Starters not as good as the mains. The steak here is great, the sauces and butters very good. Recommended.

My wife and I enjoyed a 2 course meal in this restaurant 13/05/24. I had a 14oz rump steak and my wife had an 8oz rib eye (medium). Both were perfectly cooked and thoroughly enjoyable. The service was excellent. Deserts were also excellent. So good we have booked a table in 3 days time. Comfortable clean recently refurbished to a very high standard.

Fantastic quality food and excellent service on 1st visit but sadly service now very poor. Some of the meal was stone cold and staff attitude changed markedly when made aware of this

Fabulous all around. Amazing decor too.

The food was stunning but expensive.

Fantastic food, very tasty, presented well and staff knowledgeable.

It was a spontaneous decision to stop there and eat. This was a great decision. We had the best steak and burger here in a long time. The service, especially Dina, were highly motivated and very on point to make the guests' stay as relaxed and comfortable as possible. We would like to come back, but "unfortunately" we are on vacation here and will be back home soon. Keep it up, it was all worth it.

Very knowledgeable and attentive staff. Exceptional food and service. I highly recommend

Highly recommend. Will go again.

Went here for the first time last week and absolutely loved it. We went for the sharing board and both the sirloin and ribeye were mouthwatering. Next time we come here we're ordering the ribeye steak! Staff were very attentive and helpful as well which was lovely.

Everything was absolutely fantastic here for my sons 30th birthday meal. The staff were excellent as was the food. Especially my lamb steak and dauphinoise potatoes. Delicious. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely brilliant Steak House. Family of 4 had a lovely meal and great dining experience. 5 stars! Well done.

Fabulous service, staff and fabulous food! Its a must!! Thank you as always!

Had an amazing steak. Lovely night out with great service.

Great steaks lovely service on our 46th wedding anniversary; thank you for attention you gave us and the very kind free desert with happy anniversary written in chocolate on the plate

Delicious food and great service

Had a fantastic evening in the restaurant celebrating my birthday - we all loved it. All staff were very friendly and welcoming and food was soooo good and delicious. Already planning our next celebration meal here.

Absolutely fantastic as per usual.

Don't miss their desserts, truly delicious and are a delight to just look at! With its warm ambiance and exceptional service, Parrilla guarantees a dining experience that's as unforgettable as it is delicious. Beautiful decor also!

Wonderful food. Couldn’t believe how busy it was on a Monday night, but no wonder, fab food and lovely waiting staff. 😍

Great food and service. Second time here and rate it very highly. Cote de Boef was excellent and cooked perfectly to taste.

The food and service were very good Delicious Argentinian sauce

Really good food. I highly recommend. Also very good service. Thank you and will see you next time I’m in the area.

Absolutely amazing restaurant. Food was so delicious, and the staff were attentive and friendly. We went on a Wednesday evening and the place was quite busy. Really lovely to see people eating locally.

My husband and I will 100% be returning! I'm not a steak fan but my husband is, they have other options so I decided to book for our anniversary. They bring out a tray of all the different cuts and explain what's what and how they recommend it to be cooked. Th food was phenomenal! And the desserts oh my yum! If you haven't been I would highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed! EDIT Not a steak fan me, had rump tonight (21/9/23) and it was delicious!! Would definitely have it again which isn't something I thought I'd ever say about steak! Fantastic restaurant!! Always leave feeling full and satisfied! Highly highly recommend! EDIT (14/10/23) They have a new small selection of cocktails now available which just adds to all the reasons why this is mine and my husbands favourite place to go! EDIT (6/3/24) Pinion rings and corn on the cob are fantastic sides to accompany your stake. Which I have quickly became a fan of! If you haven't already definitely give this place a try, you won't regret it!

Busy, organised, attentive service, interesting meat lesson, delicious meals.

All the stuff we’re nice and helpful the best service the food is top notch food

Really enjoyed our visit. Will be back for sure.

Food and staff were amazing very competitive too

Got to be one of the best steak restaurants in Scotland.....loved it

I’m really confused. There is nothing here that resembles anything to do with Argentina or “Buenos Aires” and I bet that even the beef is not from Argentina. The decor is ok and staff are friendly, but when you go to an Argentinian restaurant (you might as well disagree) you want that cultural experience as well as trying the authentic Argentinian cuisine in this case, but all the staff were Indian I believe and I bet even the Chefs and the owner are Indian too. Again, perfectly fine with me, but why calling it Bueno Ayres with the wrong spelling on top of it? Maybe the majority of customers have no idea how people from Argentina look like (no offense)which is very possible or they are simply just happy to have a nice local steak in an Indian restaurant with an Argentinian name. I guess this is what fooling people is about. Anyway, please, change the name of the restaurant and stop taking the p….🥸

Meal was superb and reasonably priced. Service was equally good. Will definitely be back.

My family and I have just had a really lovely meal at Buenos Ayres in Musselburgh. Fantastic food and service. Outstanding staff. Musselburgh is very lucky to have this restaurant in our town. Many thanks to all for making our evening so lovely!

Amazing food, friendly staff and great atmosphere! Hidden gem in Musselburgh and will definitely be back!

I came here twice with my girlfriend, first time was amazing, customer service was great and atmosphere was good as well, the food was perfect and delicious! The second time however was a lot worse, we could hear a lot of shouting in the kitchen from inside the restaurant. We ordered the sharing tomahawk for two medium rare, they brought through the steak and it was definitely very rare, (I wouldn’t have complained about this but my girlfriend gets queasy about that stuff). I then apologetically asked for the steak to be put back on for a bit, they complied but an older waiter came out and tried to tell me it was perfectly cooked and that I was wrong! Extremely rude and condecending! Dissapointed as the food was good and the rest of the staff were very polite. The picture shown only shows a small pice which wasn’t even as bad as the rest of the massive steak.

Fantastic food, great service and lively atmosphere

Family is from Uruguay and Argentina so we’d wanted to visit this for a while now but couldn’t as we have an infant. Finally went this weekend (with baby) to celebrate the birthday of a dearly loved but recently deceased relative and it was a wonderful meal. Baby didn’t make any fuss or disturb others but I wouldn’t have blamed staff for not wanting children or babies, though they welcomed us warmly. The food was fantastic and brought back many wonderful memories. We hope to be back soon.

Fantastic meal, great service. Will definitely return again.

We had a lovely family meal here just after Christmas and everyone had a lovely evening. We all had steak with a selection of sides, my ribeye was cooked to perfection, as you'd expect and the mac n cheese and fries were seasoned nicely and the chimichurri and beaurdolaise sauces were all incredible as well. We were a little disappointed as we had spent 20 minutes looking at the menu and chatting before people had decided kn tomahawks and another sharing dish, only to then be told there were none of either. Being told at the beginning what wasn't available would have made a bit more sense. But our steaks were lovely and it was a busy little spot in a convenient part of Musselburgh. Desserts were lovely, my panna cotta was nicely balanced and everyone seemed happy with theirs. My partner's father didn't enjoy his rice pudding dish however and they kindly took it off the bill without being asked so I can't fault them for that. All in all a lovely meal and we may be back again.

High expectations with all the great things I’ve heard from this place and it did not disappoint. Great professional service throughout the evening to pair with the outstanding food on offer. Empanadas & padron peppers to start, T-bone cooked to perfection and the perfect way to end the meal with the Dulce de leche cheesecake. Amazing wine list with something for everyone’s taste. Already looking forward to the next visit.

The food is absolutely brilliant, the steak was delicious and juicy and the Cheesecake was gorgeous and the staff were helpful, whilst being at a reasonable price... Highly recommend

Absolutely amazing dining experience. Steaks were perfect and lots of delicious options to go with them. Lovely evening with very attentive staff who were very nice and friendly. Can't wait to go back.

Lovely experience definitely go back festive menu delicious

First time eating here and wow will be going back. Food is absolutely amazing 🤩

Amazing food and fantastic service will be back!

Amazing steaks, wine good, friendly and informative staff. But... desert did not live up to the rest of the experience.

Absolutely delicious food and will be back for sure.

The service was excellent as was the food.

Unfortunately I was a little bit disappointed overall with the food I had on the occasion I was there. But I’ll break it down, I had the lamb croquettes for starters which I did enjoy, and then picked the 16 oz t bone done medium, and unfortunately it wasn’t a good choice as it had far too much grizzle around it which I struggled to even cut off (they need to get proper steak knives 🤷‍♂️) sides where very disappointing the Steak chips were overcooked frozen chips the onion rings batter although crispy was not nice and the cooked spinach wasn’t seasoned seasoned. The Malbec wine was nice but after looking at the sweet menu I felt none of it matched with having a steak This place just won a big award so I was excited about going, however I was disappointed with the food so 🤷‍♂️ for transparency others in the company enjoyed their steak so maybe it was the choice although my daughter had the burger and it came with a burnt bun 🙄 Overall I expected better but hay-ho there you go

The food was delicious! Excellent service! Highly recommend

Amazing food but not much choice for garnish if you don't like certain items. Food was lovely and cooked perfectly. Attentive table service. Very busy but was just a bit to close to other tables for me. Couldn't fault it any other way.

Excellent meal! Would recommend the chicken wings and T-bone!

If you like steaks then this is a great restaurant to visit. The staff are very friendly and provide great service. They will show you all the different cuts of steak they sell and explain each of them and what is the recommended way for cooking and were the steak is sourced from. Also have a duck, lamb and chicken option if your not into steaks. Also have a varied wine selection and they have started doing cocktails aswell. Have found this to be a great restaurant to go dine at and have enjoyed the experience Everytime.

The food was delicious, the staff were fantastic, will definitely be back

Really lovely meal for my birthday celebrations. Just magic.

Excellent food and impeccable service.

The food and service both were fantastic! This was a great find. Me and my wife thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
