From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2009

There aren’t many places in Dubai where you and four others can feast outside on a whole roasted goat and look up at the mighty Burj Dubai. Goat is a bit of a speciality when it comes to Argentinian cuisine, but Asado’s speciality is also grilling, with a fine selection of steaks on offer.

In fact, Asado has all the markings of a very fine steakhouse. The knowledgeable waiters let you see the cuts first, slabs of pampered wagyu are present and there’s an array of sauces to try with your meat.

Starters come highly recommended, such as the sweetcorn stew or smoked cold cuts, but it’s your steak that you’ll remember – accompanied by roasted veggies and thick-cut garlic fries, stacked Jenga-style. Chicken and fish are present as alternatives, but you may spend half the evening removing the bones from the fishy dishes.

It’s an ideal place for that all-important business meeting, even if you do decide to conduct it with a roasted goat leg in hand.

One of the best restaurants in Dubai. The steaks are amazing. An autentic Argentinian restaurant.

Just a hint: Although not in the menu, after finishing your meal, ask for one "terere" and enjoy this typical drink ;)

Cheers!

Horrible experience! Coming from Buenos Aires I must say that you can eat a lot better in any street restaurant in that city that in this fancy one. This is not argentine food!!! Keep away! High prices for very low quality!

i had the best meal there with my husband and daughter of 20 months! i ordered the tenderloin which was amazing while my hubby ordered a grill platter which was waaaay to much for him to handle and it was definately worth the value! They even gave us a nice small tiramisu cake since it was my birthday and a card with writings from all the staff. truly amazing! ;-) the only thing i can say we didnt find so invigorating was when the "manager " am not so sure, came to introduce us and it was a lil bit suffocating and my husband showed frustration! hahahaha... but overall it wsa truly a lovely restaurant! expensive too!!! but def worth it! it was my birthday!!! hehe

If you are looking for a decent steak, this is definitely the place for you. With two choices of settings - outside (casual) and inside (romantic) - there is something for everyone. The live band created a very authentic ambiance and the staff were knowledgable and very attentive. Unfortunately, we were slow to get off the ground with a 20 minute wait to order our food and a 1 hour wait between starter and main. The prices were on the steep side so save this place for special occasions. A must for any meat lover!
