Oscar, a native to Uruguay, came to South Africa as a young boy. He quickly fell in love with the vibrancy and eclectic mix of South African culture, particularly its love for great meat. As time wore on though, he began to feel a little homesick, not least for his moms homemade recipes and wondrous cooking persona.

Oscar decided to take it upon himself to start recreating recipes from home, making mouth-watering empanadas and assados to match. Having perfected these homemade recipes, Oscar was introduced to Bernardo, a flamboyant national who came to South Africa from Argentina just 4 years ago. The pair quickly became the best of friends and through grit, sweat and determination, decided to start a business selling empanadas at the now famous Arts on Main in Maboneng.

Before they knew it, Oscar and Bernardo were selling hundreds of units every weekend. They found a terrific gap in the market and with growth came an expansion into other food items, including pork and sirloin sandwiches served on the open fire grill (now famous in the CBD region).

Having done the market business for quite sometime, the only other logical route was to upscale to a restaurant; something unique and off the cuff. But where? Hence, in the deep and mysteriously cool setting of Maboneng Precinct, CHE Argentine Grill was born. A true and authentic little Argentina situated in the heart of Joburg, with grills to tickle your taste buds and good company to welcome you in…Enjoy!

    We started with a delicious selection of cocktails and empanadas and then tried the spider steaks as something different - finishing with the flan and delectable dulce de leca. The whole menu was a treat!

    This is by far the best steak I have ever had, the spider steak was a real treat, so tender and for the first time in my life I didn't have to add extra salt to the steak. It was cooked and flavoured to perfection. The ambience of the restaurant is amazing, my wife who has travelled to Argentina, said it made her feel like she was back there all over again, it's even more amazing when it is night time. The service was impeccable the waiter who waited on us was very knowledgeable and made some great suggestions and gave us great service. The owner seems very involved often going around to tables asking them about their meals, and I even saw him take a table of 6 to the table area where the chefs cook and show them different cuts of meat. Overall this was a great experience and we have truly found a gem of a restaurant. 10/10 for me
