What to do this weekend in Buenos Aires

This proposal aims to take you on a journey through flavors. This Saturday at 8 pm, Alo’s—Alejandro Féraud’s restaurant in San Isidro—welcomes Jorge Monópoli, a leading figure of the new cuisine at the end of the world and creator of Kalma Restó in Tierra del Fuego.

In an exclusive pop-up dinner, both chefs will share their craft and inspiration in a menu created for the occasion, where Fuegian identity will dialogue with Alo’s philosophy. The proposal highlights seasonal produce, artisanal work, and a deep connection with the environment, reflecting the shared vision of Féraud and Monópoli: cooking with purpose, respecting nature’s cycles, and honoring the work of producers, gatherers, and fishermen. Wild salmon, dried pine mushroom, dried calendula, king crab meat, silverside, or lamb kidney are just some of the ingredients that will shape the unique, unrepeatable creations of the night.

The renowned Spanish company Ron Lalá returns to Argentina with “4X4: A Journey through the First Four Works”, a show that gathers the best of their theatrical beginnings. It will be performed this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 8:30 pm at Teatro San Martín.

The staging is direct and minimalist, with few elements and live instruments.

Info: Tickets available at the theater’s box office or on the Complejo Teatral de Buenos Aires website.

Where: Av. Corrientes 1530.

It’s no surprise that Sundays are barbecue days in Argentina. But here’s the news: throughout August, Sifón—the spot that pays tribute to soda and good food—fires up the grill for those who want to enjoy an asado away from home.

Starting at noon, diners can enjoy a special menu featuring delicacies like mushroom skewers with roasted kabutia, hummus, and chimichurri; lamb kafta with hummus, yogurt, tomato, cilantro, and pita bread; picanha sandwich with salsa verde, pickled onion, melted cheese, and fries; and tender skirt steak served with creamy potatoes and criolla sauce. The regular Sifón menu will also be available, with vermouths, cocktails, and summer reds where soda takes the spotlight, alongside their signature small plates.

Info: No reservations accepted. This menu is only available at the Chacarita location.

Where: Jorge Newbery 3881, Chacarita.
