It may not look like it from appearances, but the service and food are fantastic. One of my best meals in Buenos Aires. Very friendly and fun casual atmosphere.

A really cosy, laid back bar and bistro. Caters for a slightly older crowd (30+), but very welcoming and friendly. A great place to visit with friends or to meet interesting people if you’re on your own.

Absolutely loved this place. The atmosphere felt like home. A place where we want to go every day. Both of our dishes were great. The signature dish, Lomo Dada, was as good as any filet mignon I’ve had in the states. Our servers made the...experience wonderful even though we don’t speak Spanish. Made an outstanding effort to communicate with us and made sure our meal and drinks were up to their standards. We are in Buenos Aires for 5 days and will go back here again for sure.More

A hidden gem. Checked out trip advisor for restaurants near us and this was rated great. Dada Bistro should not be missed Such a cool vibe, amazing and GENUINE service. You can tell the locals visit here a lot which is always a great sign....A wonderful afternoon - some great local wines, beautiful risotto and finished off with just the best tiramisuMore

I remembered how much my friends & I were delighted by the delicious food we ate here over 5yrs ago. This time, I started with the best espresso martini I've had in awhile! I had a wonderful experience again and the food was just as...delicious as I remembered! Definitely stop by for a bite or drinks if you are in Buenos Aires!More

I ordered a Lomo Dada plat, blue cook, it is really great, the meat red in the inside and very tender, melting in the mouth. Wonderful experience.

Fairly diverse menu, offering a break from traditional Argentine meats and sausages. Service was very good, and prices reasonable.

This is an easy walk, about one block off of Florida. Menu in Spanish and English and the waitstaff speaks English too. Don't be put off by the small size or artsy feel. It was very comfortable for an older couple. The food was excellent...with a wide variety of dishes. Just ask the waiter to recommend his favorites. Inexpensive. An unexpected delight for what might appear to be a "hole in the wall." This is "the last bar in BA", where the bartender iced our wine glasses before pouring an Argentine rose.More

Enjoyed the food here and was pleasantly surprised by the prices. The waiter that served us was very cheerful and friendly and happy to help. A little cramped for my preference and my cocktail wasn't very strong but overall was good experience and would likely...go here again :)More

Trip Advisor led us to Dada for some local color, and the food was good too! This is a small, crowded and delightful place for the younger and middle age crowd to visit, eat and drink. We ate steak. It was wonderful! We drank Malbec....It was wonderful! We enjoyed being part of the community the restaurant created that night.More

Close to the centre, we searched it out based on the reviews here and the outside didn't match. But the inside did, the feel, the food, the service were all very special. We were treated like old friends and the place was buzzing without ever...feeling cramped nor rushed. We went back but they had closed for their Summer holiday, our hearts sank. If we go back to BA it will be our first stop.More

We went to Dada for the first time by searching on TripAdvisor. Our criteria were 1 close to our hotel 2 Argentine food 3 four star reviews and above The result was that we arrived at Dada just after 6pm and got a table straight...away, without having booked. We ordered one tenderloin steak between the two of us, and vegetables. The food was beautifully cooked, probably the best steak I have ever had, and the restaurant staff were very helpful and friendly. We were so impressed that we returned the next evening and it was just as good. So I thoroughly recommend Dada but either arrive before 6:30 or book a table as it gets very busy later.More

During a chance conversation with a local lady, she recommended I eat here. To start, I had the breaded prawns, followed by the steak.. all accompanied by a delicious Malbec. The staff were friendly and attentive; service was fast and the ambience of the bistro...was very cool.More

We arrived early both times we went there, so we didn't need a reservation. ("Early" in Buenos Aires isn't very early compared to the USA.)
