AsadoAdventure Blog — Food, Culture & Stories from Buenos Aires

A dinner at NESS in Núñez, where live-fire cooking, fermentation, an open kitchen, and unusually warm service made it my favorite restaurant in Buenos Aires right now.

Buenos Aires has serious burger history. La Birra Bar won the Dubai Burger Championship. The Flour Store has a Spicy Apple Pie burger that works better than it has any right to. But the smash burger is the latest chapter, and two spots near my house in Villa Crespo and Palermo are making a strong case for the top of the list.

Looking for authentic Indian food in Buenos Aires? Here is my honest take on Bharat, the Indian restaurant in Puerto Madero that is doing something genuinely worth talking about.

Every year on March 24th, Argentina stops to remember 30,000 people disappeared by the military dictatorship. I lead food and cultural tours through Palermo Viejo, where plaques on the steps of Plaza Armenia carry the names of neighbors who were taken.

A visit to Horta in Villa Crespo, a MICHELIN mentioned restaurant known for honest, seasonal cooking and a minimalist atmosphere. From gazpacho and cheese plates to chernia with parsnip purée, here is what dinner at Horta is really like.

A spontaneous dinner at Alcanfor Buenos Aires turned into a quiet revelation in flavor, design, and sustainability. 🌿
