San Telmo · Buenos Aires
An Argentine night, in San Telmo
Asado on the grill, hands-on cooking classes and live shows on a colonial rooftop in the historic quarter.
Quincho Santo Domingo
Three generations
RoofTop San Telmo was born where a family once lived. The old conventillo that Luis and Susana turned into a home is now the rooftop where guests are welcomed.
More than three decades ago, our family set out to restore the old Quincho Santo Domingo conventillo, right in the heart of San Telmo. Before it was a venue, it was a house: Luis and Susana lived here, raised their children, and opened the patio to friends and neighbors every time there was something to celebrate.
That same patio is still a gathering place, with a new life. We've kept our grandparents' spirit and turned the space into somewhere you can step straight into Argentine culture. Every corner holds a story: the walls still carry the memory of old Buenos Aires, and the brick, wood and tiles remain right where they always were.
With respect for those roots and the warmth of family, Quincho Santo Domingo offers an experience that blends tradition and hospitality. It's more than a venue for events: it's a tribute to those who came before us, and an invitation to celebrate the best of our culture in the same patio where they shared so many nights.

A journey through Argentine cooking
Our chef designs the menu to follow the rhythm of a real Argentine table: starters and shared plates, meat cooked just right, and the dessert everyone waits for. Every course is paired with wine chosen by our sommeliers.
To start
Starters & shared plates
Provoleta baked in a clay oven, hand-folded empanadas and our house carpaccio.
The main event
Parrilla & criollo asado
Premium cuts off the coals: bife de chorizo (sirloin strip), tomahawk, vacío (flank steak) and achuras (grilled offal), served just right.
To finish
Classic desserts
Homemade flan with dulce de leche, apple pancake, and pear poached in Malbec.
Argentine wines, chosen dish by dish
Malbec from Mendoza, Torrontés from Salta, Pinot Noir from Patagonia. Our specialists build the pairing around what's served that night, and explain each choice right at the table.
