Why Diners Choose Cálida Steak & Bar

Discover why diners choose South Bank's premier Argentinian steakhouse for flame-grilled prime cuts, sharing banquets, and weekly steak specials.

  • Flame-Grilled Argentinian Cuts & House Chimichurri

    Flame-grilled Argentinian beef cuts, including signature wagyu picanha and rump, are executed with precision char and served alongside house-made chimichurri.

    My steak was perfectly seared and paired wonderfully with their vibrant, house-made chimichurri sauce.

  • Argentinian Malbecs & Traditional Starters

    Curated regional pairings featuring Argentinian Malbec wines complement traditional starters like empanadas and ceviche.

    The Argentinian Malbec we had was amazing, boasting a pure complexity and rich depth of flavor that paired beautifully with the entire meal.

  • Monday Night 1kg Tomahawk Steak Special

    Every Monday night features a 1kg to 1.2kg flame-charred tomahawk steak paired with crispy fries, salad, and house sauces for $89.

    Considering their tomahawk is usually around $23 per 100g, I think it's great value.

    We went on a Monday night and got the $89 1.2kg tomahawk and added the burnt end carrots. What an amazing deal.
