A romantic setting outside alongside a giant tree with the stars out on a warm summers evening. The food was delicious and we were served like we were the only ones there.
A beautiful date night.
It felt like we were not in South Africa…
The spider steak was delicious, soft perfectly prepared and the flavour was great. Even the chips were great, something so simple and a perfect accompaniment to the steak.
Chè was a really lovely experience! The food was really tasty and the service was great! I would definitely recommend it!
Good food , nice environment
The food was really scrumptious, especially the steak. Really delicious. Vibey atmosphere. Service was adequate, but lacking the finer points of the customer experience such as not having basic condiments and waiting just a little too long to get the attention of the waitron.

About Che Argentine Grill
Cuisine: Argentinian
Oscar, a native to Uruguay, came to South Africa as a young boy. He quickly fell in love with the vibrancy and eclectic mix of South African culture, particularly its love for great meat. As time wore on though, he began to feel a little homesick, not least for his moms homemade recipes and wondrous cooking persona.
Oscar decided to take it upon himself to start recreating recipes from home, making mouth-watering empanadas and assados to match. Having perfected these homemade recipes, Oscar was introduced to Bernardo, a flamboyant national who came to South Africa from Argentina just 4 years ago. The pair quickly became the best of friends and through grit, sweat and determination, decided to start a business selling empanadas at the now famous Arts on Main in Maboneng.
Before they knew it, Oscar and Bernardo were selling hundreds of units every weekend. They found a terrific gap in the market and with growth came an expansion into other food items, including pork and sirloin sandwiches served on the open fire grill (now famous in the CBD region).
Having done the market business for quite sometime, the only other logical route was to upscale to a restaurant; something unique and off the cuff. But where? Hence, in the deep and mysteriously cool setting of Maboneng Precinct, CHE Argentine Grill was born. A true and authentic little Argentina situated in the heart of Joburg, with grills to tickle your taste buds and good company to welcome you in…Enjoy!
