Experience Asado

Features

Argentinian barbecue, known as "asado," is a culinary tradition deeply rooted in Argentine culture. Asado is much more than just a meal – it is a social event that brings family and friends together to enjoy the art of grilling and the pleasure of sharing delicious food with good company.  

At midday, they add meat - Tira de Asado, Vacío, Cuadril & Chorizos/Morzilla then slow cook all afternoon. Patience and experience are key for a good barbecue. The key to great asado is the fire, and Argentines take great pride in their wood-burning parrilla (grills). As the flames grow, so too does the anticipation of a good meal. 

Once the meat has reached its peak flavor, it's time for plating! Traditional sides such as potatoes, salads, breads and chimich urri accompany the delicious cuts of meat to complete the asado. They invite everyone to join in - to savor the food, talk about life and enjoy each other’s company over a glass of wine or two.
