Niño Gordo
Buenos Aires, Argentina
- No.43 Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants 2023
The restaurant located in the trendy BA neighbourhood of Palermo Soho is inspired by Pedro Peña and German Sitz’s trips across Asia. In a love letter to the continent, they combine their favourite Asian elements in a playful and tasty way. A giant baby-shaped balloon welcomes guests at the entrance and a mixture of neon lights with Asian motif decorations draws a smile on guests’ faces once they are in.
The food and drinks unify Asia and South America in a well-balanced blend of flavours. Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai cuisines are tackled with an Argentinian touch, offering dishes such as beef tataki, and pato pekin Niño Gordo style. The seasonal menu is paired with original cocktails prepared with ingredients from both continents. Wasabi, lemon and white wine can be found in the blanquito, while the strikingly named Fucking Sorrel merges tequila, lemon, falernum and togarashi salt.
