A fantastic Asado Experience - A fantastic experience, our host Tobi was warm and friendly and made us feel very welcome. Very informative regarding the history, the fire, the cuts of meat. All the food was cooked to perfection and of premium quality. The experience takes place in the gardens of a beautiful old family home. We got Uber taxis from the theatre sector for £10 each way. Premium wine and soft drinks were included, plus dessert. Would definitely recommend the Asado experience with Belen the founder and her team

Cultural delight - The setting was a beautiful old home in a neighbor hood. (Not so easy to find.) The Chef and hostess Sophia was superb! She was informative and set the tone by fully explaining Asada in community. She made sure the guests were all comfortable and satisfied. Sophia then proceeded to fully prepare the meal in front of us answering questions as we went. Multiple types of meats and vegetables, grilled of course, were finished to perfection, yes, there was dessert too! Everything was of the highest quality. It was a most pleasant and relaxing evening. We were surprised to learn that Sophia was native to Argentina as her English was so perfect! A really great experience!

Best meal EVER - If you ever consider coming to Argentina, The Asado Experience is a perfect stop to savour what a truly argentine meal is. Filled with warmth, kindness and specially great food, this amazing house welcomes guests from around the world with the biggest smiles coming from their hosts! They really make you feel like family! I was welcomed by Sophie and Topi, two beautiful young women full of joy and love for what they do. Sophie and Topi are amazing grill masters, they explained every little step they did in order to achieve the perfect Asado, which was a divine way of attending a cooking class. Belu, the founder of this experience, shared with us her story and her journey of building The Asado Experience brick by brick, which personally made the entire experience feel so intimate and familiar. This experience not only teaches you how to grill like a pro, but also invites you to try diffrent flavors, combinations, and textures you may not have tasted before. I personally am not that open to try new things foodwise, however, the way they introduce each cut and each ingredient easily convinced me to do so! Overall, I 100% recommend booking this experience the next time you come to this beautiful country. Be prepared to eat the best meat you’ll ever taste, connect with people, and spend the best evening/lunch of your whole trip. So worth it :)

Perfect ending to a marvelous trip!! - This was a fabulous experience! The staff and Grill Master were lovely professional women, the experience was very well-planned with premium food & wine in the perfect setting. The meats were cooked to absolute perfection! It was wonderful to have a small group and my 23 year old son and I really enjoyed meeting everyone. They do not miss any detail. We had a memorable time and enjoyed learning about Asado. I can't say enough about it, if you're going to do an Asado in Argentina this is the one to do.

Best Birthday Ever! - Part cooking class and part cultural exchange, and that’s before the wonderful meal with newfound friends. My birthday present to myself was worth every penny. This is a must-do, joyful experience. Topi was an amazing host, making it easy to feel comfortable from the moment of arrival. If you’re on the fence, just book it. You’ll be glad that you did.
