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 ordered a few cuts in a platter. Each and every cut was way overdone even though we ordered medium rare. Was quite disappointing as I was entertaining foreign guests off the back of a previous great experience. Maybe just an off night in the kitchen.

    Che Argentine Grill responded on Fri 03 Jul 26:
    Dear Mark, Thank you for your feedback, and for choosing CHE again to host your guests. We're really sorry to hear the platter didn't live up to your previous experience. The cuts should certainly have been cooked as requested, and we'll be looking into this with our kitchen team. We truly appreciate you giving us another visit and hope we'll have the chance to welcome you back and deliver the experience you remembered. Warm regards, CHE Argentine Grill
