About Astor Argentinian Grill
Astor Argentinian Grill is a hidden gem in Tavira's old town where Argentine meat culture meets Portuguese hospitality. The chef—a culinary figure with decades-long relationships with Argentine butchers—sources premium beef directly from Argentina and grills it to order, often emerging from the kitchen to discuss doneness and cuts with diners. The compact, cosy dining room fills quickly; reservations are strongly recommended. Alongside impeccable steaks (flank, strip, tenderloin), the kitchen delivers surprising starters, house-made pasta, and desserts that reviewers describe as exceptional. The wine programme balances Argentine reds and Portuguese selections in equal measure, with staff guidance that elevates the pairing experience. Service is attentive without rushing; the atmosphere crackles with energy and warmth. Outdoor seating with heating extends the season. Accessibility includes wheelchair-friendly seating.
Astor Argentinian Grill is the neighbourhood spot done right — unhurried, unpretentious, with a wine list that gives it an edge over most of its category.
What Stands Out
Argentine beef sourced and grilled to perfection
Chef imports premium meat from Argentina via a decades-long butcher relationship and cooks each cut to order; reviewers consistently praise steaks as among the best they've ever eaten, with the chef personally checking doneness at the table.
Balanced Argentine–Portuguese wine list
GBP data highlights 'Ótima carta de vinhos'; reviews note Argentine and Portuguese selections in equal quantity, with reds like Malbec paired expertly with the meat.
Exceptional desserts and attention to detail
GBP highlights include 'Ótima sobremesa' and 'Ótimo café'; reviewers single out tiramisu as 'a work of wonder' and mention desserts as memorable finales to the meal.
