Incredible Experience - The Asado Experience it’s the incredible opportunity for you to conect with the Argentinian culture, a moment to taste great cuts of meat, great wine and to know people from a diferent perspective and cultures. It’s not just a place to have a incredible culinary experience, it’s also about learning all the memories, story’s and moments that are behind an asado for the Argentinians. In this experience you will learn all about the different tipes of meats they offer, the incredible Argentinian wines and the best green sauce ever, Chimichurri. I’ve personally never seen an experience of this kind, the organization, the girls predisposition and the kindest atmosphere, but best of all, a Women’s Asado Business. So thankful to Belen, Sophie, Lola and Mile for this oportunitty to be part of an incredible, unique and beautiful Argentinian experience. Don’t hesitate to book your own experience, you will have the best time of all here in Buenos Aires, and eating the best Mollejas, Matambrito de cerdo, Choripan and Lomo ever.

Amazing experience, 100% recommended - From the moment I set foot in that house, I felt super welcome. It has a very warm and cozy atmosphere, simulating an authentic Argentine asado experience. It so happened that the River-Boca superclásico was being played during the experience, which added even more to the ambiance, with the fans' cheers from the street every time someone scored a goal. The owner of The Asado Experience, Belén, is an inspiring woman who conveys her passion for barbecue while teaching guests about all the cuts and little tricks to prepare the perfect asado. The hosts are also wonderful women who share their experiences and anecdotes, making you feel like part of a big family. The asado itself is truly incredible, featuring premium meat, and each cut has its characteristic flavor, cooked to perfection with careful attention to timing and seasoning. The wine is also exceptional, and thanks to this experience, it became one of my favorites. What attracted me most to this experience was the cultural exchange that flourishes through conversation. Each participant, both guests and hosts, shares a bit of their story and what asado means to them, creating a beautiful bond among everyone. Another thing that caught my attention, and fascinated me, was the fact that this is a women-only business, which breaks the stereotype of the "asador" and shows that a person's gender has nothing to do with their ability to make barbecue. This is not just a meal; it is a complete experience that everyone should have. Thank you so much for having me Belen! I look forward to repeating this experience. And to any of you who are wondering weighed you should do this experience or not, I strongly recommend you do. You truly won’t regret it.

It begins with a visit to a typical house in the beautiful neighborhood of Belgrano, where you are warmly welcomed by a group of enthusiastic Argentine women eager to share with you the ritual of the asado.

The Asado Experience That Feels Like Home - The asado experiencia is an unforgettable and truly magical experience in Buenos Aires! From the moment you walk in, you're transported to a place steeped in history—Belen’s family home, which instantly feels welcoming and special. Meeting Belen herself is a privilege; she’s an extraordinary woman whose warmth and depth of knowledge make every moment feel personal and meaningful. We walked away not only learning about asado, but also feeling like we were carrying a piece of Belen's story with us. The team is as wonderful as Belen, especially Panchis, who deserves a special shout-out! Her passion and way of explaining things make even the most complex aspects of asado feel approachable, leaving even someone like me, who never imagined grilling an asado, wanting to try it at home! Their hospitality was so genuine, it made us lose track of time in that beautiful house, and before we knew it, we felt like part of the family. Every little detail—be it the perfectly set table, the fascinating stories behind the cutlery, the carefully selected wines, or the incredible cuts of meat—was meticulously crafted to make the experience extraordinary. The atmosphere, the people, and Belen’s insights created something truly special. This was hands down one of the best experiences we had in Buenos Aires, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Hopefully, Belen will bring this amazing experience to Florida soon too! ♥️

Don´t miss this experience!! - If you’re craving an authentic Argentinian asado, The Asado Experience in Belgrano R (a residential neighbourhood very close to Palermo, inside the city on Buenos Aires) is the place to go. The premium cuts of meat are top-notch, grilled to perfection, and full of rich, smoky flavor. Nestled in the charming Belgrano R neighborhood, the spot offers a fantastic, laid-back atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. It’s also empowering to see a woman-led business thriving, with Panchi as a fabulous host who adds a personal touch to the whole experience. It’s not just about the food—it’s about soaking up a genuine slice of Argentine culture and enjoying a truly special meal.

Wonderfully different Experience in Buenos Aires, Highly Recommended! - We have been to Buenos Aires countless times wih my wife Claudia, but for our latest trip I thought that we should try something different. So I came across the "Asado Experience" and booked the midday option on a friday. I had just told my wife that we were going to eat Steak for lunch and not much else. When we arrived at the House, she looked at me and said "where is the restaurant?" I replied that there was no restaurant and she was a little baffled. We were greeted by Francisca (Panchi) with her Official "Asado Experience" Grill Apron and immediatelly made us feel at home. We met another delightful couple from Colombia, Andrés and Daniela and our host Belen arrived a few minutes later. Milena, a prospective new addition to the AE Team, completed our Group. For the next 3+ hours, we had nothing but the most enjoyable afternoon, with cheerful conversation, countless stories and anecdotes from Belen and the others and of course, valuable information and facts about what makes up the true and original argentine asado experience. There is just no comparison between visiting Belen and her enthusiastic team of collaborators and going to a regular restaurant. We had the best Choripan ever, we learned how to prepare the famous Chimichurri Sauce and acquired all the necessary tips to become a top grill master. Belen is passionate about her business and when passsion and talent coincide, you cannot go wrong. Do not hesitate to Book the Asado Experience at Belen´s house in Belgrano, it will be a memorable experience and your spouse will thank you, just like mine did!

An outstanding Argentinian experience - If you are in Buenos Aires and really want to have an outstanding cultural immersive moment I highly recommend you to schedule the Asado Experience! It is not just a nice dinner with wonderful meat but also a deep dive on how Argentinians do their asados, a way to feel all the emotions and understand the cultural background about it. All of that happening in a beautiful house where you feel completely at home. Thank you Belen, Panchi, Sophie and Lola for the amazing night with our team! ❤️
