Meet Pablo

A beef sommelier, Pablo is incredibly passionate about sharing his love for beef with guests from around the world. Pablo's grandfather was a grill master and he is keen to keep the tradition alive. A Buenos Aires native, Pablo worked in finance in multinational companies for over 30 years but took a beef sommelier course at the University of Buenos Aires in 2019 and hasn't turned back. Pablo enjoys meeting people and sharing the food and culture of his city with guests from around the world.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Cooking experience: (2-4 guests) Pablo picks you up from your location in Buenos Aires and gives you a history of the city as he drives you to his home for your culinary adventure focused on Argentinian beef, a source of national pride. After a refreshing aperitif, don an apron and learn to get a fire started in a parilla (Argentinian grill). Next, knead dough to make empanadas - delicious, flaky turnovers filled with ground beef, onions and spices. Pablo then introduces you to the different cuts of beef and teaches you how to grill five different types of steak, from an Argentine Angus strip loin to a Wagyu tri-tip. Discover how the breed and feed influence the taste and texture as you enjoy your Argentinian beef tasting menu. Your meal includes freshly baked sourdough, a green salad, grilled peppers, a surprise dish!, Argentinian Malbec wine (or beer), dessert and home made limoncello. Pablo also offers coffee upon request. Enjoy the steaks you helped prepare over laughter and conversation at the dining table as you immerse yourself in this true Buenos Aires cultural tradition!

Notes: This experience includes pick-up and drop-off so please include the address from where you'd like to be picked up when making your booking.

Pablo can host up to six guests but his car can only accommodate four people so if you are a group of six, please email reservations@travelingspoon.com and we can customize your booking.
