With the arrival of the winter and the low temperatures, Buenos Aires offers gastronomic proposals for all tastes that combine the possibility of enjoying a pleasant experience in outstanding places and fighting the cold by tasting different traditional dishes.
ALL EMBERS DEVOTED
With an innovative proposal of meats cooked in “cages”, iron structures measuring 1.50 metres, Todo Brasas invites diners to try traditional cuts with the flavour of embers. On its varied menu, the pork shoulder stands out, which is ideal for the cold days ahead. Before reaching the table, the shoulder goes through a double cooking process: first it is smoked in a kamado and then it is finished in a traditional oven. The result is a juicy and tender meat, which is served with potatoes with curry and bathed in gravy sauce (made from cream and juices from cooking the meat). This dish is individual and can be enjoyed with the selection of wines, beers or classic cocktails that they offer.
Address: Av. Beiróo 5016, Devoto.

His proposal covers the best of the cuisine of Puerto del Callao, with options such as cebiches, causa, tiraditos, rice dishes and other seafood preparations. In this cold season, the recommended soup is the Wantán soup, which is made with pea and fish stock, angel hair noodles, potato, tiger’s milk and a thin dough very common in Chinese cuisine, known as wonton. The combination of all these ingredients, with the addition of cilantro, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion and red onion, raises the temperature and results in an intense flavor in an individual portion.
