Niño Gordo
An Asian-influenced steakhouse in Palermo opened in 2017, blending Argentine ingredients with Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Thai flavors.
Located at Thames 1810 in Palermo Soho, this restaurant was opened in 2017 by the team behind La Carnicería, with chefs Germán Sitz and Pedro Peña at the helm. It features an izakaya-like atmosphere with a bar facing the kitchen. Michelin-recommended dishes include the katsusando (a steak-sandwich hybrid), miso sweetbreads with corn, and spicy fried rice. It ranked 21st in Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants 2025. Reservations can be made via the Meitre platform, and sources say booking 30 to 60 days in advance is often necessary.
