Unforgetable dining experience

A hidden oasis in the heart of Buenos Aires. Maru and her team will keep you engaged and well-fed for three hours. The food was delicious, from hors d'oeuvres to desert. The second steak course, loma, was my favorite.

Response from the operator: Hi, It was a pleasure to have you at Asado Argentino by Maru, we had a great time. You are welcome at any time!

A homely, friendly and luxurious experience in the heart of Recoleta!

I had the opportunity to try this experience recently and I loved it. Maru, in addition to being an excellent host, pays attention to all the details and it is clear that she enjoys entertaining her guests. The dining experience is truly delicious and the atmosphere enhances the experience. Highly recommended for those who want to know what the barbecue ceremony is like for Argentinians. It's like you're at a friend's or family's house. 100% worth it!

Response from the operator: Hola! Fue un placer compartir el espacio con vos. Gracias!

Best Authentic Argentinian Experience

From being welcomed with open arms to an in-depth education surrounding the cultural practice of an Asado, this experience was by far amongst the best we took part in during our trip to Buenos Aires. Maru, the host was incredibly kind and we were greeted at the door in such a way that we were at ease and interacting with her as if we were long lost family & friends. Upon entering we were led to a stunning alcove with vines climbing high along towering walls that provided privacy and intimacy at the same time. Maru walked us through the cultural experience of an Asado and provided us documentation showing us the different parts of the cow and pointed out what we would be eating. We then met the chefs and got to see the meat before it was put into the fireplace. After mingling and learning more about the history and importance of Asado in an incredibly conversational and comfortable manner, the first part of the meal was ready. Not only was the food incredible but the hosts created an environment where we felt relaxed and at home. If there's one word I could use to describe the experience it would be special. I recommend this highly for absolutely everyone, our trip to Argentina wouldn't have been complete without it.

Response from the operator: Hi! Thank you for your words, was an honor to have you at Asado Argentino by Maru, we had a great time. We are here whenever you want, the fires are still burning!

How far in advance should I book Argentine Asado by Maru. Private experience in Buenos Aires?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early.

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Buenos Aires and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

When is the best time to visit Buenos Aires?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Buenos Aires?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
