Santa Maria del Sur is an established Argentine steakhouse on Queenstown Road in Battersea. The restaurant focuses on the warmth and generosity of Argentine dining, combining a relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere with carefully sourced beef, traditional recipes and attentive table service.
Prime Argentine steaks form the centre of the menu, with rump, sirloin, ribeye and fillet available in different weights. Mixed parrilla selections bring together beef, chicken, chorizo, black pudding and provoleta, allowing two or more diners to share the flavours and textures of the grill.
Traditional empanadas are offered with fillings such as beef, chicken, spinach, cheese and caprese, while starters include provoleta, chorizo and grilled seafood. Milanesa, fish, vegetable dishes and fresh salads provide further choices for guests who want something away from the main steak selection.
Argentine Malbec and other South American wines are natural partners for the grilled dishes, with cocktails and desserts such as dulce de leche flan completing the experience. Lunch service, weekend dining and group friendly sharing dishes make the restaurant suitable for both informal meals and celebrations.
