Bendita Cocina Argentinean Restaurant

Argento Bistro, formerly Bendita Cocina, serves Argentinean-inspired food in Palatine, with a menu that runs from grilled steak and parrillada to pasta, salads and sandwiches. The empanadas, filled with sirloin, chicken, spinach and cheese, are a house specialty, and the churrasco with chimichurri and the grilled vacío are other standouts.

The restaurant has changed hands and launched a new menu under the Argento Bistro name. It serves lunch and dinner with takeout, delivery and outdoor seating, and it has a kids' menu and a family-friendly feel. Reservations can be made ahead of time, and catering is available for events.
