The new location features a refreshed look with an open kitchen that runs the length of the restaurant. While the menu is rooted in Argentinian-style steaks, head chef Fabrice Mergalet has incorporated novel techniques like sous vide and lacto fermentation in his new dishes.

Expert Voice: How to cook a tomahawk steak
Getting steak from the butchers is easy, but grilling a quality piece of meat is, for some people, an intimidating prospect. But making a great steak at home is easy! All you really need is some seasoning and a meat thermometer to hit the perfect doneness. Here’s a quick guide to cooking a tomahawk (a thick bone-in ribeye) from the grill gurus at Weber.
Instructions
- Heat an outdoor grill or preheat your oven to 190°C.
- Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper, using about one teaspoon per 450 grams of steak.
- Sear the steak for three to four minutes on each side.
- Transfer the steak to a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 52°C. This will take about 30 minutes, but use a meat thermometer for best results.
- Let the steak rest for five to ten minutes before serving
Tips
• How to tell when your steak is done: 50°C rare; 55°C medium rare; 60°C medium; 65°C medium well; 70°C well done.
• Don’t have a grill? No problem! Sear your steak on the stove before placing it in the oven. Use a large heavy skillet, preferably cast iron.
• Cook over indirect heat if you want to keep your steak in the grill to finish cooking. Keep the lid of the grill closed and adjust the flames to keep the temperature at 200°C.
