All you can eat Argentinian food at The Knife

With locations all over South Florida, we selected the location in Coconut Grove (3444, Main Highway, Coconut Grove, Florida).  We went with a large group of friends (6 adults and 6 kids) and we had our share of meats, poultry, and all the side dishes you can think of.    This is how it works.  You sit down, order drinks, stand up, and hit the buffet line.  This is not your ordinary buffet line as there is a large parillada or BBQ grill where all of the meats are cooked to your liking and perfection.  You have a whole salad and condiment section with an extensive dessert selection.


The best part of The Knife (also think about it as a less pricey Texas de Brasil) is that you can set up the kids first, leave one of the adults to baby sit, and calmly get what you want and need.  You can help yourself to thirds or fourths and no one will even notice!

Next to infamous Bird Bowl (the bowling alley of our youth) is Graziano's Restaurant on Bird Road and 92nd Avenue.  From celebratory occassions (my brother's wedding dinner) to informal gathering of friends (and kids), this is the place to enjoy an excellent slab of Argentine steak and Malbec wine.  You couldn't ask for anything else.

Start of the night with empanadas filled with ground beef, tons of bread dipped in olive oil, and then a typical Bife o Chorizo with chimichurri sauce.  There is alot to take in and the inside looks nothing like you would expect from the outside.  In a strip mall with a bowling alley, this restaurant stands out as one of the must-places to try.  They even opened a location in more affluent Coral Gables, but we still come back to this location.

As another option if you are up to grilling at home, Graziano's has a real butcher shop where you can buy everything off the rack and do it at home...poolside.  Both options are great depending on the situation and we encourage you to eat here.  The kids like it and there is enough for them to select in the Kid's menu to keep them happy.

Check out their web sites as they host wine tasting events several times a year!  Enjoy!
