We had a wonderful time spending the day with Frank Almeida owner of Asado Adventure. From the moment we stepped into the home we felt welcomed. Even Tomate the cat and Palta, the dog were eager to welcome us. We made chimichuri and caramelized pecans and then set off on a neighborhood art tour. The timing worked out perfectly with the street art. Frank pointed out that "briefly crossing paths with Victoria Ferreyra as she was finishing her mural felt like one of those quiet Palermo moments you cannot plan". We were there to add to the local compost and view her murals and the nearby veggie garden and she happened to be there working on her next project. Palta seemed to be her biggest fan, enticing her to climb down the scaffolding. Speaking of Palta, walking the neighborhood with her added its own charm, and it was wonderful to spend the day with her. Returning to Frank's home for the full Asado was wonderful and it felt like the perfect family day. My husband and I loved the grilling provolone so much we decided to take home a provoletera. Frank, being the incredible host he was, has already sent us links to where we can get this special cheese in the United States. This whole experience was the best food we have had in Argentina so far and this experience will be very hard to beat. There is too much to write in this review, but as part of the art and neighborhood tour, we learned an incredible amount about Argentina's history. I really feel like Frank helped us get to know the culture and heart of this very welcoming and friendly city and specifically the Palermo neighborhood. read more

We had an amazing experience with Frank and AsadoAdventure. This was one of the best tours and meals that we have experienced and a favorite experience from our visit to Argentina. read more

My husband and I had an amazing time on the Original Asado Food Tour led by Frank, the owner, this weekend. Not only did we have an immersive and fun experience in preparing the ingredients and the grill, Frank also took us meat shopping and wine tasting for the asado in his beautiful neighbourhood of Palermo Viejo while giving us a history of the area and his personal journey at the same time. The best part of the tour was, of course, enjoying the different meats from the asado and the wonderfully fresh vegetables Frank and his team put together for us in the lovely courtyard of his home. The selection of local wine and spirit over the course of the meal could easily be eclipsed by the maté experience at the end. Frank was fantastic in bringing everyone in our small group of 5 together and we truly enjoyed the company. The other 3 members of the tour were actually Argentines so we learnt so much about the food, culture, people and history of the country from them and Frank. I could not think of a better way to experience asado other than being in someone's home and Frank shared with us this experience. Bonus - There is so much to do and see in Palermo Viejo. The young, vibrant and family friendly neighbourhood is packed with restaurants, bars, and boutiques. read more

This was one of our highlights of our whole trip. I have done several different food tours in different cities, and you are often leaving like you don't need to eat for several days after. This had a perfect balance of eating and exploring the nearby parks and neighborhood in addition to eating. The thing we liked the best, was that we never had to get out our own cameras or phones as Frank takes all the pictures for you, and then sends you the link to access later, so you are able to really enjoy yourself. We happened to get lucky and had a private tour. I am not sure if he can do that on all his tours, but it was a nice touch for us. It is important to also note, that while Argentina is known for steak, I myself to not eat meat, and Frank did make sure that every place we visited had something that I can eat as well. read more

Incredible experience start to finish! Frank is a wonderful and highly knowledgable host. The day was a beautiful mix of culture, art, food and wine. We enjoyed learning about Buenos Aires history and the traditional Asado meal. The food was delicious!!! I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone visiting Buenos Aires. Looking forward to going back and trying Frank's other tours. read more

I really loved this tour. A lot. I found Buenos Aires overwhelming so to have an English language-speaking tour guide and English language-speaking fellow travelers was a nice break. I also never know where to eat and what to order and seem to do it wrong. A lot of the offers in restaurants there are hamburgers and hot dogs and a lot of things with ham and cheese and an egg on top and that's not what I traveled thousands of miles to eat. The other thing I've realized is that touring around on your own, you may see some interesting things but you miss the story behind them. Combine the traditional Argentinian food with guided sight-seeing and you've got a winner. I like how we started out with a light, traditional Argentinian breakfast and then did some touring and then stopped for more food. The entire day went like that. I had a small group so we all found time to ask questions. Our tour guide was a native porteno which added to the authenticity of our experience, though if we had been lucky enough to have Frank lead our tour, that would have been fantastic also. We went to places that I would have missed like a neighborhood organic vegetable garden that donates its produce to the needy and which lets city dwellers drop off their scraps to make compost. We saw street art. We had fantastic cheese. AND - AND!! They pay for all the food so for the price I paid for the tour, I would have most likely paid a lot more for the food on my own. And she took us to a local parilla so it wasn't touristy at all. AND I discovered my new favorite drink - lemonida - which I drank for the rest of my stay. read more

We like to start our trips with some sort of local food tour and decided to try an authentic Argentinian asado. It was truly a memorable highlight from our trip to Buenos Aires. I would gladly do it again! You meet at Frank's home and he gives an overview of what to expect during the roughly 5-hour adventure. We prepped elements of the meal, got the fire going, and headed off to learn about the neighborhood while we picked up meat from the butcher and went to a wine tasting. We returned to find the grill master working the grill which was already loaded with lots of good things. We had an appetizer while we made fernet cocktails before sitting down. The food was amazing but so was the company. Frank is a wonderful host who makes you feel at home, in his home, and helped us learn a bit more about the Argentine culture through experiencing it. read more

Absolutely loved our Asado Adventure and Street Art Tour with Frank!

Truly a unique and unforgettable experience! First of all, Frank's house in Palermo is absolutely amazing! He was very warm and welcoming. We then went on a street tour and went to get various items for our lunch, and learned so much in the process about the history, street art, etc. Back at Frank's house, Frank cooked an amazing meal, chef quality, and everything was prepared perfectly. I was able to make chimichurri and candied nuts for the lunch. Throughout the experience, photos were taken by Frank or one of his helpers. At the end of the experience, Frank followed up with a beautiful photo album of the experience. Truly first class and an amazing experience. read more

Oct 2022 We love to do these types of tours to explore Buenos Aires, eat delicious foods, and make new friends. Frank and Delfina provided us with an enjoyable Sunday tour where we learned new historical facts, enjoyed the company of friends, and ate some of the best medialunas and choripan we've experienced (the steak, provoleta, wine and ice cream was pretty good too!). Thank you Frank and Delfina for a great day in Palermo. We look forward to joining you for your Asado experience. read more

We booked the food tour in an effort to learn about the history of the local cuisine, while getting a walking tour of the neighborhood. Our guide had a wonderful knowledge of the local street art and neighborhood and was very willing to answer questions. She lacked the food knowledge and was not very seasoned as a guide. That said, the 6 hour tour was a very good value and we would recommend it. Especially exciting was a digital photo album of 126 photos taken by the guide along the way. It was nice not to have to take our own photos so we could be present for our day. A nice bonus! read more

Great people and nice walking/food tour. We had a last minute change of tour guide and the owner was very communicative about it and responsive to any questions we had. Our tour guide was very knowledgable about Buenos Aires and shared a lot of fun stories while bringing us to a lot of good food. I would certainly recommend this as one of the first activities you do in the city as it gives you a good introduction to a lot of the places and food you may want to revisit while there! read more

I had the opportunity to experience an Asado Adventure meal and cooking lesson hosted by owner Frank and master griller (asador) Max. As an expat living in Buenos Aires who has eaten at dozens of parrillas and a number of closed door meals, I would rate this a first class experience for visitors, expats, and even locals. What made this a fun, educational, and comprehensive Argentine Asado experience: -The Asado Adventure is hosted in a beautiful loft in Palermo SoHo that has an open kitchen, and patio in the back with grills for cooking the asado. You will eat your meals sitting outdoors in the patio. -Upon stepping foot in the beautiful loft, you are greeted with fernet & coke and cheese and charcuterie plate. Tandil salamis are the best! -Learn how to prepare the grill and sauces for cooking -Neighborhood walk to the local mercado (grocery store) and stores to purchase meats, bread, and wine -Learn about Palermo SoHo's history, parks and squares, street art, artists, and graffiti -Full meal including appetizers, salads, meats, and dessert paired with Argentine wine -Pass around the mate (tea) I would have loved for the Asado Adventure team to spend a little bit more time showing me how to prepare and cook the asado. The good news is Frank's team follows up immediately with an email that has recipes and links. Frank and Max the master griller (asador) were engaging, knowledgable, and personable. Thank you Frank and Max for an amazing Asado Adventure experience. read more

Frank's BA Craft Beer Adventure is a must-do tour if you enjoy good beer and funky places. He's super knowledgeable, and his passion for food, beer, art, and interesting places really comes through. I enjoyed myself greatly - the beers and four brew-pub locations surprised me and delighted me. Frank also sent great photos from the tour - and sent some recommendations my way. Excellent time - thanks! read more

Asado Adventure is a MUST when spending any time in Buenos Aires! We were lucky enough to book a reservation on one of our first days which meant we not only got an incredible and authentic Argentine asado, but a great intro to and tour of an amazing neighborhood we returned to again and again! Frank and Co. are wildly hospitable and his adventures are catered to your interests. The tour is peppered with gems like local shopping for asado ingredients, assisting with food prep customized to skill level (!), witnessing an asador (grillmaster) work his magic on a traditional Argentine grill, a phenomenal and intimate meal, and many tastes of local treats (no spoilers!). Filled with special touches, the tour is completely documented by Frank and capped with a beautiful collection of photos, recipes, information and memories in digital format. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience. 10/10. ::chef's kiss:: Would highly recommend!!! read more

This is a great way for visitors to Buenos Aires to experience a typical Argentina asado (barbecue... but it's way more than just a barbecue) that you probably wouldn't get an invite to otherwise, if you are visiting BA for a short amount of time and don't have friends/family here. It also includes a walking tour of the Palermo Viejo/Soho neighborhood as you go around buying stuff to prepare the asado, at the butchers, bakers, wine store etc, and then you get to learn how the asado is done and even help with some of the preparations. It's main location is a beautiful family home in Palermo Soho, with a lovely, green internal patio... to be honest the tour is worth it just for the experience of relaxing there for a few hours while eating and drinking delicious food and wine. read more

The Craft Beer Adventure is a must-do tour if you're looking to experience great, local craft beer at some authentic, eclectic locals-only places. We hit the ground running, choosing to go on our tour pretty much immediately after we landed in Buenos Aires and we were so glad we did! Our tour guide Frank, was very accommodating to our needs and was an absolute pleasure to spend an evening with checking out the Colegiales neighborhood going over all manner of things - food, beer, art, Buenos Aires, history, travel. He is extremely knowledgeable and very easy and fun to talk to. Frank even sent us recommendations and pictures he took during our tour after! Everything about the tour was wonderful - the beers, the food, the breweries we visited - and after going on 4 different beer tours throughout Buenos Aires throughout our time there, I can easily say this one was our favorite (and probably the best!). read more

Let's start with Frank, a personable, knowledgable and welcoming host who made our day extremely memorable. Not only was the Palermo tour filled with history and insights, but it was so much fun to go shopping at a local market for food we were going to eat as well as visiting a restaurant for a wine tasting where we bought wine for our meal. In his lovely home, we all chipped in as we learned how to prepare the grill, made the chimichurri sauce, created a delicious salad with toasted pecans and indulged in a delicious meal prepared by an amazing grillmaster. I can't emphasize enough that this is truly an experience that is not to be missed while visiting this amazing city. And Frank creates a photo album of treasured memories that he sends to you within a day and offers recipes for the delicious treats you indulged in. read more

My friend and I had a great time with Frank on a walking tour of Palermo Viejo. We ate great food, saw incredible street art which we probably would not have found on our own, experienced a butterfly garden (!!!), tasted great wine and more. Frank was kind, professional and fun. read more

I was very excited to experience a true asado in Buenos Aires and Mauro and grill master Max well exceeded my expectations! We felt like we were in the home of friends with the most delicious (and bountiful) food and wine. I can not recommend this tour enough and know if I am to return to Buenos Aires I will most certainly be participating again! This was my favorite activity and meal in Buenos Aires! Thank you for a fantastic day in San Telmo Frank, Mauro, Max, and Mauro's mother! read more

I just loved being part of Frank's Asado Adventure. He was amazing in telling us about the culture and history of Palermo/Argentina. We had such a great adventure with the street art that we went and purchased 3 pieces for our house and daughter. I learned how to make the TRUE chimichurri and had the best sides as well as meat during our vacation. Try to take his adventure early in your vacation/holiday so you can get all of his great recommendations. Frank is definitely worth a stop on your holiday. While you find yourself in the middle strangers, you feel like best friends at the end of the day. Thank You, Frank read more

The Asado adventure made for a family highlight in BA. Frank's home is amazing. He and Augustín were delightful hosts and teachers. The food was outstanding and authentic. We enjoyed a leisurely day meandering and shopping for all the food and drink around Palermo. prepping a feast followed by eating a multi course meal family style in the outside courtyard made for a lovely Sunday in Argentina. read more

We were looking for a unique experience, an atypical tour to accommodate a larger group with diverse interests and needs and Asado Adventure exceeded all our expectations! Frank was extremely attentive to details and made and clearly communicated all of the arrangements for us from transportation to special accommodations which allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience. This was hands down the best quality and quantity of food we ate on our trip, Max is an amazing grill-master! The patio was beautiful, we took all our family photos out there. It was a very unique experience for us to enjoy a typical Argentinian meal in an authentic and spacious home, no rushing through the meal like in a restaurant and no noisy atmosphere. read more
