We loved this Asado experience. Lola and Sophia did a wonderful job and we could tell they loved sharing it with us. It was such a relaxing, intimate affair with our group of six and four others. The weather was great to be outside and the house just beautiful.

The Asado Experience

Nikia_N, Feb 2025

It was a great experience! All the cuts of meat were perfectly cooked and delicious. The women were all very hospitable and welcoming. The house is unassuming and the doorbell wasn’t readily visible. A great Asado experience!

Perfect ending to a marvelous trip!!

Cynthia_G, Jan 2025

This was a fabulous experience! The staff and Grill Master were lovely professional women, the experience was very well-planned with premium food & wine in the perfect setting. The meats were cooked to absolute perfection! It was wonderful to have a small group and my 23 year old son and I really enjoyed meeting everyone. They do not miss any detail. We had a memorable time and enjoyed learning about Asado. I can't say enough about it, if you're going to do an Asado in Argentina this is the one to do.

Very Nice Experience, Everything Expertly Cooked. Attended January 4, 2025

Thomas_R, Jan 2025

Very intimate environment at a personal home in lovely setting. Fully explained the culture of Asado and its meaning to the Argentine people. Everything expertly cooked, included wine, water, soda. Nice talking with others from around the world. Fun intimate personal experience!

Great!

Wonderful!

Lola and Bernie were excellent hosts and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I will definitely look to do this experience again.

One of my best cooking experiences EVER!

Gene_G, Apr 2024

Where do I begin! I can't say enough about this fun event. The wine was great! The meat selection was very high quality and plentiful. The group I was with could not eat it all. We learned about Asado from selecting the meats, to starting the fire as well as the cultural roots and process for the Asado. Belen (owner) was a great communicator from the booking throughout the class and her team, Panchi, Male and Sofi were great grill masters. The time flew by. It was fun to share laughs and make new friends during The Asado Experience.

Great experience

David_S, Dec 2023

A fantastic time. The meat was cooked perfectly and the whole experience was like nothing I've had before. All of the staff were knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and genuinely interested in all of the guests. Tbh it's worth it just to see the beautiful house.

Experience beyond compare!

Daniel_M, Dec 2023

My wife and I had the Asado Experience on 3 Dec 2023 and it was absolutely worth it. From the moment we arrived both Lola and Sofia made us feel at home. They described the details of the culture and what makes an Asado versus a normal bar-b-que. The wine pairing was excellent and we shared the experience with 3 other people. The food was outstanding and cooked to perfection. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a genuine Argentinian culture experience.

Seriously, SIGN UP for this Asado Experience NOW!

Louis_C, Oct 2023

I need for EVERYONE to participate in THIS Asado Experience. This was my and my friend's first time in Argentina and I truly am so glad we signed up for this. I will say I thought this was just a cooking class, but I'm very grateful that it was MUCH MORE. We had Belen, Paloma, and Selmi. They were such down to earth, nice, fun, informative, and friendly individuals! And most importantly, they shared personal sides of themselves and allowed us to feel comfortable doing the same--which is what the Asado experience is all about. My friend and I felt so connected to them and we were so glad to learn about and immerse ourselves in that incredible piece of Argentinian history and culture. The house where the experience is held is STUNNING. We truly felt at home. The wine was great. And THE FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE! I actually cannot stop thinking about it. The only downside is that we could stay longer :) Also, the fact that this is an experience ran by women just made it that much better as it has typically been viewed that an asado could be only run by men, which is obviously not true nor fair to think. Really the entire experience was amazing and we were grateful to have this interaction. I will be planning to come back to Buenos Aires with other friends and family and this will be TOP on the list! They also travel and carry out this experience in other places in the world which is incredible! Ugh I can't say enough of amazing things about this. We absolutely loved it!!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

I don't know even how to start to reply this incredible review! Dear Louis: you absolutely left me speechless! You surprised me me to the point I couldn't think of a phrase to answer this beautiful way of expressing how you felt. I will just say one thing: do yourself a favor and come back one day to Buenos Aires, and let's enjoy more Asados together! Thank you thank you thank you! Belen & The Asado Experience Team

Absolutely amazing

Excellent hospitality,...

Paul_N, Jan 2023

Excellent hospitality, food, and company. It was delightful to share the asado experience with our hosts and other travelers. Highly recommend!

Informative, Delicious, comradely beyond compare

Janice_N, Dec 2022

This was a great experience. And experience is the correct word to use. This is much more than a meal or a cooking class. It’s like being invited to a friends house for a holiday meal. Even though our particular experience was private we had an opportunity to enjoy life stories with the staff. I can only imagine how great this is with other guests from around the world. In addition to great company and a delicious meal you will learn the tricks of the trade for successful grilling plus recipes for special sauces. I highly recommend this experience.

This was an amazing...

Tricia_S, Apr 2022

This was an amazing experience that made us feel like we were family and even my 17 and 14 year old were impressed. The food was excellent and the home and patio are beautiful. One of our favorite experiences on our trip.

Nos sentimos como en casa

roberto_m, Jul 2024

Las anfitrionas super lindas y atentas, la comida espectacular, te sientes totalmente en familia y aprendes mucho de la cultura del asado argentino

Experiencia inolvidable!!

Angel_C, Apr 2024

100% recomendable!!! El ambiente increíble, la comida y el vino verdaderamente premium y tanto Olivia como Berny hicieron una experiencia insuperable.

Ein besonderes Erlebnis

Robert_S, Feb 2020

Besonderes Erlebnis aufgrund der privaten Athmosphäre und dem Engagement der Gastgeberin. Es werden neben dem Klassiker Rinderfilet auch Fleischstücke vorgestellt, die man sich sonst niemals trauen würde zu kaufen. Die Buchungsbestätigiung von Viator ist etwas unglücklich. Dort wurde der Veranstalltungsort als Treffpunkt für eine Weiterfahrt mit dem Auto genannt. Wir kamen 15 min zu spät und waren uns nicht sicher, ob man auf uns warten würde. Unter der angegebenen Handynummer ging niemand ran. Das hatte unnötige Nervosität erzeugt.
