Open wood fire drives the kitchen at this riverfront spot, turning out generous Argentinian asado right on the water. Steakhounds head straight for the entraña or the butcher's selection board, stacked high with smoky meats and sharp chimichurri. Grab an alfresco table along the Stamford Plaza terrace at dusk—the river breeze rolls in, the city lights up, and a glass of Malbec pairs easily with grilled barramundi or crispy empanadas. Weekday workers drop by for the fast express lunch, but evening belongs to long shared feasts, roasted baby potatoes, and house churros.
- Wood-fired asado: Specialty cuts like entraña, tomahawk, and stacked butcher platters roasted over an open wood fire.
- Riverside terrace dining: Alfresco terrace seating right along the river with open water views toward Story Bridge.

In the three years I’ve been living in Australia, I had never found a place that truly took me back home. You managed to do it — from the music, the empanadas, the chimichurri, the Argentinian Malbec, and the asado
Melany Milla Indulgent and Generous Feasts
Hearty butcher sharing boards and surf-and-turf platters leave groups thoroughly indulged with generous portions.
For the main dish, it was the butcher's selection. The stack of meat (from many sources) is impressive. And the amount super generous.
