How we read reviews →Little Bourke Street's Argentinian charcoal grill for wagyu porterhouse, empanadas and a buzzy, dimly lit CBD night out.
A dim, moody CBD dining room with rustic wooden tables and leather booths, an open charcoal kitchen sending smoke through the room, and a groovy, high-energy soundtrack that reviewers say fuels the birthday-party buzz. great for celebrating, tough for quiet conversation.
Charcoal grill kitchen visible from the floor, an extensive wine list (including a pisco-sour-style Argentinian cocktail), multi-course set menus (Primo tier), and a sommelier-adjacent wine program reviewers repeatedly call out.
Contested: most reviewers praise it as genuinely Argentinian, but at least one Argentina-born reviewer found the empanadas, entraña and flan short on real Argentinian flavour and technique.
Set menus run $99-$180 per head; most reviewers say the standout steaks justify the price for a special occasion, but a vocal minority feel tougher or lesser cuts don't match the premium price tag.
