Porteño

01.JPG

Porteño is probably one of my favorite restaurants in Sydney, in terms of food, pricing, atmosphere, and service.
Basicially dine at the restaurant the same amount of times I visited Sydney, which is 3 times in 3 years!

A short introduction of this restaurant: Porteño is an Argentinian restaurant awarded with 2 Chef Hats, and their chefs Ben Milgate and Elvis Abrahanowicz won the Best Chefs category for 2013.

They have many good dishes (I have tried 2/3 of their menu), but in my opinion the must try dish is the 8 hour woodfired pig.

As they say, photos speak a thousand words, so click more for the full post and photos!

A couple of dishes have been replaced since I last ate in 2011, so not going to mention over here.
 
Reservation can AND must be made if you are dining in with a group of 5 or more people, else you will be rejected at the door.
Anything lesser, you have to queue at the door.

Tip: Just go and queue around 5.30pm, and you are almost assured a table when the restaurant opens at 6pm.
