Program
The program, step by step
Here's how the experience unfolds, from welcome to the last cup of mate.
Step 1: Welcome on the rooftop
A traditional picada to kick things off: a board of cheeses and cold cuts, olives and homemade bread. To drink, vermouth, Malbec from Mendoza, Torrontés from Salta, beer, soft drinks and water. Plus a short introduction to the one thing that really matters: what asado means to us.
Step 2: The cuts and the achuras
A grill-side demonstration: where each cut comes from on the cow and the pig, how it's salted, how long it takes, and what changes between charcoal and wood fire. You'll taste costillar (ribs), vacío (flank steak), bife con hueso (bone-in strip), matambre de cerdo (pork flank), chorizo, morcilla (blood sausage) and mollejas (sweetbreads).
Step 3: Empanadas on the disco
Our parrillero shows you the classic empanada from northern Argentina: hand-cut beef filling, vegetables and spices, the repulgue (hand-fold) and cooking it on a disco de arado (plow-disc griddle). Every guest builds their own.
Step 4: The salsas criollas
Chimichurri, provenzal and salsa criolla, made by the guests themselves. Each one comes with its own story and its own place at the table.
Step 5: Time to eat
Everyone shares the table together, with Argentine stories along the way. It's the longest part of the experience, and that's on purpose.
Step 6: Dessert on the plancha
Dulce de leche pancakes, caramelized right there on the plancha (hot griddle).
Step 7: Mate and sobremesa
A bit of history and an introduction to mate: every guest prepares their own. And also their own alfajor de maicena (cornstarch shortbread sandwich cookie).
