The Beef at the Heart of Zoilo
At the core of Zoilo’s menu is its carefully sourced beef, selected from trusted producers in both Argentina and the UK. Each cut is treated with precision, aged according to its character, and cooked over a traditional charcoal grill to highlight natural flavour.
Signature cuts include:
Bife Ancho (ribeye)
Bife Angosto (sirloin)
Centro de Lomo (chateaubriand)
34-day aged T-Bone (designed for sharing)
This commitment to quality ensures consistency while staying true to authentic Argentine grilling techniques.
More Than Steak: A Full Expression of Argentine Cuisine

Standout plates include:
Hamachi Ceviche
Provoleta
Seasonal fish and vegetable dishes
The restaurant also maintains a hands-on approach to production, baking its own bread daily and preparing house charcuterie such as pancetta, bondiola, and chorizo.
