Porteno – Surry Hills, NSW, Australia

Posted on Jan 4, 2016 in Restaurants

I’m a fan of the Argentinian grill style and these guys do it superbly. The standout dish for me is the lamb and it’s so good it makes onto the ‘best ever’ list. Having said that, every dish we had was first class including the non-meat dishes which can often lack class in a meat-focussed restaurant.

The floor staff are professional, full of energy and will provide lots of suggestions, if you’re open to it. Interiors are funky, dimly lit but not dark. I haven’t been to BA but I can only imagine, this is what it would be like. This place definitely does buzz. Oh, and don’t forget to leave time for a drink in the bar (Gardel’s)… divine!
