Fire, smoke, and patience.

Asado over open flame. A short walk from Centraal Station.

01 · Story

A piece of Buenos Aires
on the canal.

One parrilla, and a quiet ambition: to bring the unhurried rhythm of an Argentine sobremesa to the centre of Amsterdam.

Tradition · Heritage · Hospitality

Slow fire. Patient hands.

Formosa is a province in the north of Argentina: flat, golden, cattle country. The parrilla we built here follows the same rules our grandfather kept on the estancia. The fire stoked an hour before the first cut touches the grill.

Every evening, the dining room smells like embers and oak. The cuts arrive whole and rest before they meet the flame. We don't rush, and we hope you won't either.

The fire isn't a tool. It's a guest at the table. The best one we know.

In the centre, off the canal.

A short walk from Centraal Station, tucked into a quiet street between the Damrak and Spuistraat. Look for the warm light and the smell of oak.
