★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 826 reviews · 2 hours · from $93Our pick

Review of Fogón Asado in Buenos Aires, a fireside nine-course Argentine meat tasting with live cooking and optional wine pairings.

“I would have given six stars. SUCH a great experience. We were a group of nine people having the 9-course-asado around lunch. Beautiful location in the heart of Palermo. Service can also explain everything in English. You can also order wine by the glas, chose between two options of wine pairing or just have the included non-alcoholic drinks. Every course looked like in a Michelin Star restaurant. Every courses was cooked really good and was very taste. The meat was SO awesome. Truly the best steaks I had in Argentina so far. They came with very tasty sides as well. It is a lot food but you really don‘t want…”

2.Gaucho and Ranch Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 809 reviews · 9 hours · from $168

Escape Buenos Aires for a gaucho ranch day with horseback riding, San Antonio de Areco, folk music, dancing, and a classic asado.

“This is the type of half-day getaway everyone would enjoy as an escape from Buenos Aires, and as an immersion into the traditional pampa argentina with its fascinating gauchos, horses, traditions, dances, and lovely rural towns and villages. Oriana was absolutely friendly, knowledgeable, communicative, always willing to share stories, historical facts, interesting topics over a mate, and chat with a big smile on her face. The entire agenda was very well thought out, riding the horse in those surroundings was a big plus as well! And the food...well, nothing to add there as it was delish! Highly recommended guided activity, worth every penny.”

Auf der Ranch , etwas kurze Reit-Tour, Wenig Spannende Atraktivitäten für den Preis . Essen viel zu viel , geschmacklich TOP 4⭐️+. Ciara hat Top Übersetzt und war auch sonst Unterhaltsam und eine Hervorragende Gastgeberin. Preisl-Leistung =mässig. Das Essen und der Wein haben es etwas gerettet. Unterhaltung während dem Essen , schön, interessant, umd mit viel Liebe , aufgeführt. Trotzdem würde ich es zu diesem Preis , nicht weiter empfehlen.”
