Restaurante Abrasado

"If you rely on a restaurant’s list of awards when it comes to booking a table and if the delicious flavour of aged meats brings tears to your eyes, then the Abrasado restaurant (part of the Los Toneles winery not far from the centre of Mendoza - the recipient of various Best of Wine Tourism awards over the years) is the place for you! The dining room, located next to the spaces reserved for tastings and events, boasts a contemporary design and high ceilings, along with a maturing cabinet at the entrance and a bar to the rear with a resident bartender. Although Abrasado offers an extensive à la carte with an impressive array of fresh and aged meats (dry-aged ribeye, T-bone aged in black garlic, fillet steak aged in kombu) designed for sharing, the vast majority of guests opt for its set menus (Andes, 100 Aniversario and Abrasado) as they all include a wine pairing option." - Michelin Inspector

Argentinian Meat: the Star of the Show in the Country’s Best Restaurants

"Set within the Los Toneles bodega, this MICHELIN-recognised restaurant traces its beef from field to fork, cooking Black Aberdeen Angus raised by the winery family on their own land in Río Cuarto—pasture-fed and then grain-finished for intramuscular marbling. Meats are dry-aged 45 days in tightly controlled chambers, then seared on volcanic stones heated over flames to avoid any wood or charcoal aroma and let the beef’s flavor shine. The menu ranges from simply aged ribeye and skirt to bolder maturations like a black-garlic–injected T-bone, a whisky-aged bone-in ‘Bistecca,’ and a tenderloin macerated with kombu; there’s also Angus loin tartare crowned with a crunchy macaron and raw yolk, plus a 330 g skirt steak seared fast and brightened with a strawberry and sherry vinegar creole salsa. Located in Mendoza’s Guaymallén area just minutes from the provincial capital’s center, it showcases a meticulous, traceable approach to Argentine meat." - The MICHELIN Guide

Argentina’s restaurants shine brightly with the announcement of its first-ever MICHELIN Stars!

"As expected, many of these restaurants are centred around traditional and local cuisine, with a special focus on meat and the popular ‘parrilla’, such as at Benedetta, Duhau Restaurant & Vinoteca, El Preferido de Palermo and La Carniceria in Buenos Aires and Abrasado, Fogón Cocina de Viñedo, Quimera Bistró and Renacer in Mendoza." - MICHELIN Guide
