What to get? Everything! Impeccable service, great wine selection , & good food makes this my fav restaurant in Sydney . Get the blood sausages , anything roasting at the fire (refer pic), & brus sprouts

Mario Baylon

If you're a first timer - start off with chorizo , morcillo, brussell sprouts . For mains, their classic 8-hour pork or lamb roast won't dissapoint. Great cocktails ,wines & sherry list. Service is tops!

Ishan

8hr lamb or pork , chorizo , corn , fried brussel sprouts & the blood sausage . Round it off with a glass of Malbec or the banana old fashioned, and you'll be dreaming about this meal for days. YUM.

One of the best restaurants in Sydney . The slow cooked lamb and pork are the obvious stars but every dish here is delicious. Don't miss the banana old fashioned when looking at the drinks menu

Aurélie Ménard

The Wagyu Beef Outside Skirt is a killer, deliciously melting in your mouth and the Brussel Sprouts are not to be missed! Also have a drink at the bar upstairs, great retro latino atmosphere.

Shirley S

Definitely will come again, great ambience, food was excellent and staffs all very attentive and nice. Staff recommended dishes were all good, had sausages , salad and beef .

Shirps

For two, we had the beef empanada , 8hr lamb , mash potato , corn with manchego and flan for dessert . Everything was perfection.

Steven Doyle

The meal here was ridiculously good. The reputation they have is actually understated. Outstanding entire menu

Ondrej Sedlacek

Amazing place, fabulous food, impeccable service and lively atmosphere . One of the top Argentinian restaurants in Sydney . 10/10.

Reynaldi Hadianto

Big group make sure everyone is present before queuing. Be aware with the service, waiters seems to ignore the table and takes really long to get attention. Food arrive quickly. And quite delicious !!

AskMen

Start off with the BBQ eggplant tahini and pearl barley in preserved lemon , and work your way onto housemade pork sausage , grass fed angus and Suffolk lamb ribs .

Fooderati

Not just a festival of pork , order a banquet, come with a group and let the good times keep coming. Start with smoked mackerel and pork pate and move onto suckling pig , morcilla and chorizo . Argentini

John Booth

Amazing... Feels like you're in a Mediterranean plaza . All the meat is cooked the traditional Argentinean way over the coals.

The 8-hr pork is a must. The bread and pate make a very hearty entree. Try the brulee as a dessert , amazing taste. Dishes are pretty filling, don't order too much! Bartenders are real pros.

Ash Jamo

One of Sydney's best. I would love to say secret but it won't be for long. Service top notch and food amazing. Brussels sprouts the best. Meat lovers- you're in for a feast.

Tiffany Sis

try their bbq calamari and homemade pork sausage for entree. so good. and they have the best roast pig in Sydney. their roast beef ribs is also quite good :)

Pete Iannetta

Oh, this is good Argentinian food . Very tasty, lovely atmosphere, excellent service, and you won't walk away hungry

Kerrie Coughlan

8 hr pork , chopped salad and white polenta with Gorgonzola and walnuts . Food and atmosphere were superb. It's a must !!!!

Michelle

Amazing, amazing spit roast pork , and ribs . Come here for the meats and the amazing building. Get there EARLY.

Sabrina Goh Shan

Super long queue. Be sure to gather friends for a reservation . Portions rather small, on the good end of the taste scale. Not fantastic.

Ferrie Pok

Highly recommend the morcilla (blood sausage ), Asado and skirt steak . The slow cooked pork was a little dry for us.

Kent Hughes

These hand-sized beauties are encased in a soft bun and, like everything else at this incredible Argentine barbecue joint, are filled with great quality meat.

Ben Thomas

If you love meat, this place is for you! Great atmosphere and generous share plates good for groups .

Andrea C

Specialty of slow roasted lamb & pork belly at must haves. Meet for a pre-dinner drink upstairs at Gardels.

Emma Kirk

This place is amazing, the food is so good. Eat at the late service, so you can enjoy a few cocktails at the bar beforehand.

Kristen Sandberg

Delicious but the line is chaos, people pushing and shoving to get first seating. Try the bread and pate .

Ed

Any of the slow roasted meats will make you very, very happy. Make sure you get a couple of different dishes to share.

Kimberly Lau

Loved the zucchini flowers and pumpkin ravioli entrees. Brussel sprouts were amazing.

ᴡ Kramer

Can't go past the entraña, which I assure you is not an entree. Douse it in chimmichurri and drink it with Malbec . Set your mouth to drool.

Michelle

Fabulous banquet menu! Amazing wagyu , roast lamb and pork crackling .

Esther Assaad

Yummy yummy yummy! Get at least one meat dish and one seafood (kingfish !). Also the Brussel Sprouts are a must!! Great service too...

John Nguyen

Brussels sprouts and the slow roasted pig are great. Go with a group and share all the dishes.

Murilo Silveira

AWESOME PLACE. Food, drinks, the environment and the service are pretty good.

Paul Mcquillin

It's the best service you will get in Sydney.

Marnie Hammond Donnelly

The tahini and potato croquettes , and the empanadas are great bar food snacks ! 2 beers on the menu, best is the one on tap .. Enjoy!!!

@JaumePrimero

if you are a meatlover (which I am), you will fall in love with this restaurant . You must order the Suckling Pig .

SengMing Tan

Must order: blood sausages , brussel sprouts and any large hunk of beef they're offering. End it with some PX.

Oz

Amazing 8 hour roasted lamb and pork . Upstairs bar is also worth checking out even if you're not having dinner . Great cocktails .

Tristan

Brussle sprouts are a dark horse. Definitely a great addition to a meat dish (the secret is they are fried in oil like sprout chips !)

Shiro Ang

8 hour woodfire roasted pork is a must! Brussels sprouts , both homemade and blood sausages are great too!

Adrian Arumugam

Do yourself a favour and order the Morcilla....aka blood sausage ...... Ugh.....soooo sooooo good...:)

Marianne N

The 8 hour pork was great; the 8 hour lamb was even better! Yum!

Amanda Li

Recommended: veal tongue , suckling pig , fried brussel sprouts . Come at 6pm, rather than 9.30pm, when all the pork will be gone.

Stuart C

Try the Brussels sprouts & the broccoli . Seriously.

Mark

Great cocktail lounge upstairs, pricey but at least they have alcohol unlike a few place in Sydney. Only draw back it was a bit ob the hot side w/ no air con.

Sam Warner

Eight hour fire roasted pig is amazing, as is the polenta .

Peter Badovinatz

Don't miss the suckling pig , chorizo , empanadas .

Elliot Chance

So many hours of meat! You'll understand this when you dine here.

Jason Cupitt

Order everything.. Eat everything. It's all about the pork .. Don't eat for 24 hours before you go ;)
