Casa Malevo

Great food, excellent wine options, very good service and a nice place where to eat. What else can you ask from a restaurant? I think Casa Malevo has all this right. The only think I'm not tu sure about is the sausages, a bit too spicy to the argentinean palate, but i think they might go well with the local's taste. The milanesa is like "de la vieja" (which is a very high rate in Argentina).

I LOVE CASA MALEVO... it is just like eating at home in Argentina and a great meal at that

As an argentine I can say Malevo is among the best here and there... for me it is just like eating a great meal at home

i'am very surprised at the comments below. I have been both at Santa Maria and Casa Malevo and really there is no comparison... Santa Maria is just an steakhouse, pretty expensive for what they offer, it lacks ambience and is only a place to eat meat, very good but just that!
Casa Malevo is on another league... the meat is great and cooked to perfection but there are also other dishes and salad and sauces and all is delicious! Maybe they had a bad night when you were there but as a regular I can only recommend you to try again... It is one of my favourite restaurants and I am lucky to be round the corner! Will not change it in a million years! Great food, meat, ambience and drinks!

I had lunch with a friend at the bar in Casa Malevo and thoroughly enjoyed the food, the service and the bustling atmosphere.

Definitely the best Argentinean restaurant I've been to in London.

overrated and disappointing. I agree with your reviewer.I think that Santa Maria is better.

The best Argentine restaurant in town... The meat is superb as is everything else we have tried at this place: the pumpkin and sage ravioli, the Sweetbread starter, and definitely the dulcedeleche creme brulee. Would strongly recommend it - and it's affordable: we always leave FULL and we have not paid more than 40gbp per person. I completely disagree with the reviews. A good sign is the fact that Casa Malevo is always packed with Argentineans unlike the other "wannabees" in town (like overpriced Gaucho).

I went to this lovely restaurant last night and have to say that, for once, the review appears completely unjustified! The food was indeed very good, with completely normal-sized portions - I even had trouble finishing my fries! The meat was excellent and the menu is definitely cheaper than Gaucho for similar quality. The service was very good, for instance we weren't charged for a starter I ordered by mistake. All in all, a great experience and very good value for money.

My husband and I had dinner at Casa Malevo last week and my experience was so different to that of your reviewer, I wonder if he actually went to the right place. We arrived mid evening and the place was bustling - completely full, with people eating and drinking at the bar too. It has a great ambience - low key but and very cool with great lighting and bare brick walls. The food was lovely. We started with the sweetbreads and the goats cheese. The sweetbreads were excellent, the goats cheese very good, served with toasted nuts and beetroot salad. Oh, and they brought round the most divine bread from neighbouring baker, CocoMaya. We then both had the fillet, which melted in the mouth. There were sauces on the table, but the chargrilled taste of the meat meant that it didn't need much adornment. The chips were great. We ordered two portions as well as side dishes of vegetables, as you'd implied that the portions were mean. All were delicious, but it meant we'd ordered so much food, we couldn't finish it. You have to save room for the creme brulee with banana ice-cream or the passion fruit sorbet. Wines were delicious and keenly priced. All in all a very cool place with a great menu. Probably more like 40 people than 20 I think and before I left I caught took a peak at the private dining room downstairs. It looks stunning. I'm definitely going back with a big group so we can book that.

Diego did work at El Bulli. We have a couple of acquaintances in common (I hasten to add I never worked there just met people who do). He did say that it wasn't the type of food that he'd want to do in his own place.
It's a shame portions were so small. Hopefully they'll iron things out.
