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!

    Rib eye was chewy. I have never eaten chewy rib eye before so their preparing is very different. The service started of great, and then the waiter forgot about us when a bigger table next to us arrived. She also did not ask how the steak would be prepared. She was lovely, but more attention to detail would have been appreciated.

    Che Argentine Grill responded on Tue 05 May 26:
    Dear Aamhira, Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about the service. We’re sorry to hear that the rib eye did not meet your expectations, this is certainly not the standard we aim to deliver, and we will review this with our kitchen team. We also apologise that the level of attentiveness dropped during your visit. While we’re glad your waiter was lovely, we understand how important consistency and attention to detail are, and we will address this with our team. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. Warm regards, CHE Argentine Grill

    What a wonderful experience- the food was really good, definitely worth a visit if you’re in the Rosebank area. I would recommend parking at Rosebank mall or across the road at Nine Yards as my car and a few other vehicles were broken into at the Parks Centre parking lot (opposite the Woolworths). There was security, but clearly not very good as this was apparently the 7th incident that week (according to SAPS Rosebank Station.

    Dear Torez, Thank you so much for your kind words, we’re happy to hear you enjoyed the food and your overall experience with us. We’re very sorry to hear about what happened with the parking. We completely understand how upsetting that must have been. We have been in communication with our landlord and neighbouring businesses for some time to explore ways to improve the parking situation and overall security in the area. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Warm regards, CHE Argentine Grill

    The aesthetic & ambience was really nice. We enjoyed the empanadas & desserts. Kind of disappointed at the short ribs ( mains) not entirely what we expected. The service was top notch. I would come again to try different dishes.

    Dear Tshedimosetso, Thank you so much for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the ambience, empanadas, desserts, and the service. We’re sorry to hear that the short ribs did not meet your expectations. Asado is a traditional Argentine cut with a different texture and style, which may not always align with what some guests expect. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back to try more of our dishes. Warm regards, CHE Argentine Grill
