The Roots

Stepping into The Roots is like entering a space where the grill reigns supreme and conversations linger: it's a restaurant with a distinctly Argentinian flair that has earned a reputation for its barbecues and its "fire, meat, and wine" philosophy. Here, the menu revolves around the grill—Argentine sausages, empanadas, skirt steak, charcoal-grilled cuts, and, on special occasions, "cross-roasted" meats on weekends—all prepared with meticulous attention to cooking and flavor.

The restaurant is small and rustic: tables close together, background music, and a neighborhood tavern feel where the service is friendly and professional. It's the kind of place where they recommend dishes based on the daily specials and where the wine cellar plays a vital role: excellent wines that complement the meats and complete the experience.

What sets The Roots apart is that blend of grilling expertise and personality: it's not a chain or a generic restaurant, but a local project with its own unique character, managed by a team that carefully oversees the execution of the barbecues and the selection of the best ingredients. It's advisable to book in advance because seating is limited and the place fills up quickly, especially on weekends and barbecue days.

If you're looking for perfectly cooked meat, generous portions, and the warmth of an authentic grill in a small, charming spot, The Roots is a place that will leave you satisfied. You'll leave with the feeling of having found a steakhouse with a distinct identity, where the technique and the quality of the ingredients shine through on the plate.
