Che Argentine Grill

Che Argentine Grill was an interesting experience. The decor gave you the impression that you may be in Argentina. The staff and waiters were friendly and efficient. They served us some of their fresh home made bread. It came with chimichurri condiment and was delicious. For the main course we chose 3 different meats between the three of us, with the intention of sharing. The meat was the biggest disappointment. No herbs, spices or marinades were used in the preparation. The meat was grilled and served as is. The only condiment was the chimichurri, again. It is the only time in over 40 years of dining in various restaurants where we were served ribs without a marinade. Really strange boring, at least to our taste. Ultimately the 3 different meat cuts were almost identical in taste, with the spider steak marginally better than the others. Various side dishes were on the menu but were mostly unavailable for some reason we could not quite comprehend. Pairing the meal with a choice of wine proved to be impossible as no local wines were on offer. This may have been acceptable if the imported wines were more affordable. We ended up choosing the Sangria, which was one of the best we have had. I would think that expanding the wine list to include a local variety would boost sales substantially. People are creatures of habit after all. Desert was scrumptious. Definitely worth the kilojoules. The bill ended up being higher than any other establishment that we have frequented in years. R610.00 per person, including the gratuity. Worth it? Not really in our opinion, but glad to have tried it at least once.

Great experience, very rustic atmosphere & environment, it really felt like we were in Argentina. The food was was great & was served well, even though the wait time was pretty long. Waiter was attentive and helpful, but he tried to upsell us to a Malbec that was around R800. Desert was heavenly!Food: 5/5

Dinner at Che, Loved the outside patio, the good service, delicious food. The highlight of the night was many visits by their mascot, Che the snowshoe cat. Beautiful little creature.

One of my favourite restaurants in Johannesburg. Loved the food service and atmosphere.Food: 5/5

Enjoyed their starters, the slowly grilled steak and chicken was out of this world. The meat is fresh and juicy not your everday steak you would get from restaurants. Desert was also lovely and not too sweet. Lovely atmosphere, candle light dinning was absolutely beautiful.

The grills were cooked to perfection and deliciously flavored. We had the rib eye and pork belly. Fresh and tasty sides. Perhaps the best chips with parsley and garlic I’ve ever eaten. Definitely worth several repeat visitsFood: 5/5

A superb Argentine restaurant, full of character and charm, and so authentic that actual Argentinians go there for food just like home. As a meat-loving South African, you’ve got to try the steaks. Out of this world.
