Itinerary
Day 1
Afternoon / evening rooftop asado experience in Palermo.
Meet & welcome at the terrace entrance
Arrive at the terrace entrance (green door) on José A. Cabrera by Lavalleja. Host greets the group, reviews the menu sequence, safety (third-floor stairs) and language preference (English/Spanish).
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 5–10 minutes early to locate the green door at José A. Cabrera & Lavalleja and ascend the third-floor stairs; there is no elevator.
- Notify the operator at least 24 hours in advance if you need a vegetarian or other special menu.
- The terrace is open-air; bring a light layer for cooler evenings.
Appetizer: Empanadas and welcome wine
Start with empanadas and an appetizer while the host explains regional differences in empanadas and the structure of an Argentine asado.
Tips from local experts:
- If you have allergies, mention them again when seated so the chef can confirm ingredients.
- Take a seat near the railing if you prefer a view and quieter conversation — seating is intimate.
- Keep personal items secure on the terrace; space is limited near the dining tables.
Grill demonstration and first cuts
The asador demonstrates grilling techniques and serves the first selection of meats while explaining asado traditions and cut choices.
Tips from local experts:
- Stand back a short distance during the active grilling demo for the best view and to avoid smoke.
- Ask the chef questions — the session is conversational and meant to explain techniques and traditions.
- Note that the experience moves between terrace and indoor living room only in case of poor weather.
Main service: Four meat varieties with premium wine pairing
Enjoy the main plates — several varieties of Argentine beef and other meats — paired with a curated selection of premium Argentine wines. Guide provides pairing notes and tasting order.
Tips from local experts:
- If you prefer smaller portions for sharing, tell the host before the main service so plates can be paced accordingly.
- For an uninterrupted experience, keep phones on low volume; the group setting is intimate and conversational.
- Water is provided; let staff know if you need extra water between wine tastings.
Dessert: Dulce de leche tasting & Fernet
Finish with a traditional dulce de leche dessert and a guided tasting of Fernet (country's classic digestif). The guide covers dessert traditions and serving customs.
Tips from local experts:
- If you do not drink alcohol, request a non-alcoholic pairing during the wine/Fernet tasting.
- Save room for dessert — the dulce de leche tasting is served as part of the 7-course menu.
- The terrace can be breezy in the evening; bring a light jacket for comfort during dessert.
Closing, photos and farewell
Final Q&A with the chef and guide, group photos on the terrace and departure.
Tips from local experts:
- Allow an extra 10–15 minutes after the scheduled end time for photos and final questions.
- Be mindful when descending the stairs after the experience; take your time and use handrails if needed.
- Tipping/gratuity is not included; follow your personal custom if you wish to thank the team.
