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 had two rump, one was perfect and tender , the other one a disaster. The communication about the bad meet was unacceptable. No recommendation!

    Che Argentine Grill responded on Mon 02 Feb 26:
    Dear Peter, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience was inconsistent and that one of the rump steaks did not meet our standards. That is certainly not what we aim to deliver. We also sincerely apologise for the way the situation was handled, clear and respectful communication is extremely important to us, and we regret that this fell short during your visit. Your comments have been shared with both our kitchen and service teams so we can address this properly. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We truly appreciate honest feedback as it helps us improve. Warm regards, CHE Argentine Grill

    It was all lovely, but when we got home we realised we’d be charged for a bottle of wine which we hadn’t drunk.
