Authentic Argentine Cuisine at Restaurant Parrilla Alfonsina Barcelona Spain.
Located in the heart of L'Eixample, Barcelona, Restaurant Parrilla Alfonsina invites you to indulge in a rich culinary journey through Argentina’s prized grilled meats and traditional dishes. Renowned for its warm atmosphere and excellent service, this family-run gem specializes in authentic parrilla, capturing the true essence of Argentine flavors with every bite.
Starters to awaken your palate
Kick off your meal with exquisite empanadas, filled with savory beef, fresh onions, and a fragrant blend of spices that deliver a perfect balance of flavor and texture. Alternatively, savor the provoleta — a luscious slice of provolone cheese melted to golden perfection, seasoned with oregano and drizzled with rich olive oil, offering a creamy, aromatic start to your dining experience.
Main courses that celebrate Argentine grill mastery
At the core of the menu is the legendary parrillada para dos — a generous platter designed for sharing featuring an irresistible ensemble of short ribs, flank steak, skirt steak, sausage, and blood sausage. Each cut is grilled to perfection, boasting that signature smoky char and succulent tenderness that defines the Argentine barbecue.
For a focused taste, try the entraña, a prized skirt steak cut that delivers a rich, beefy flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture, expertly seasoned and grilled just right. Another classic option is the milanesa — tender breaded beef coated with a golden crust enriched with egg, fresh parsley, and a hint of garlic, providing a crispy and flavorful contrast to the robust grilled selections.
Desserts that satisfy the sweet tooth
Conclude your meal on a sweet note with the chocotorta, a beloved Argentine dessert layering chocolate cookies, creamy dulce de leche, and smooth cream cheese. This indulgent treat is a perfect harmony of textures and flavors, ideal for those craving a taste of traditional Argentine sweetness.
Drinks and specials to complement your experience
