In a city filled with restaurants, finding the right place for a romantic dinner in NYC can feel overwhelming. You want somewhere with ambiance, authenticity, great food—and most importantly, that spark.
Enter Porteño Restaurant, an intimate Argentine gem located just steps from Hudson Yards and the High Line. From flickering candlelight to the sizzle of steak on the grill, Porteño is designed to make every dinner feel like a moment worth remembering.
A Taste of Buenos Aires in Manhattan
There’s something undeniably romantic about Argentine culture. The music, the wine, the warmth. At Porteño, all of that comes together in a cozy, elegant setting made for two.
Our menu is a love letter to Argentina—starting with handmade empanadas and ending with a rich flan dripping in dulce de leche. In between, you’ll find perfectly grilled steaks, fresh pastas, and soulful flavors inspired by family recipes passed down for generations.
Sharing a bottle of Malbec? Absolutely. Lingering over dessert while the world outside disappears? That’s the Porteño way.
The Ambiance You’ve Been Looking For
We’ve designed our space to feel like a modern hideaway in the heart of Manhattan. Think soft lighting, warm wood accents, curated music, and tables spaced just far enough to enjoy privacy without isolation.
Whether it’s your first date, an anniversary, or just a weeknight escape, Porteño offers a vibe that’s relaxed, elegant, and effortlessly romantic.

Located at 299 10th Avenue, we’re within walking distance of Hudson Yards, Chelsea, and the High Line. That means you can plan the perfect evening—gallery hopping, a sunset stroll, then dinner with us.
