Niño Gordo
"The popularity of this Asian-style steakhouse, which was opened in 2017 by the owners of La Carnicería, demonstrates the perfect fit between this restaurant and the district of Palermo Soho. An ideal venue for a night out with friends, or a restorative weekend lunch, it is bold, lively and exuberantly decorated – the red hanging lanterns must have featured on thousands of Instagram accounts! It has the feel of traditional Japanese izakaya, especially if you sit at the bar directly in front of the chefs. The ingredients may be Argentinian, but the flavours and techniques are either Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese or Thai. If you were to choose a dish that sums up Niño Gordo it would be the ever-popular Katsusando, made with brioche-style bread instead of shokupan and with beef steak replacing the usual pork. Sweetbreads with miso and choclo (corn) are another original creation, while the spicy fried rice is both vibrant and highly satisfying." - Michelin Inspector
