Here, everything revolves around two tasting menus: one 9-course option, and a second much more exclusive menu designed for just ten guests in a private space called the Chef's Counter and consisting of 14 courses (Provoleta cheese, Patagonian trout, chorizo, morcilla, pork belly, pine cone-smoked "ceja" and ribeye). The two informative menus involve lots of constant interaction and communication between the grill chefs and guests, the majority of whom are tourists or groups of friends. Everything the chefs do is explained in detail, from the provenance of the wood used, the feed used for the cattle, the best accompanying salsas etc. All in all, a splendid and fun gastronomic journey lasting over two hours across Argentina's most popular culinary art form!
