Inspired by the ‘sport of kings’ and its dynamic grilling culture, Buenos Aires Polo Club is resurrecting the opulent refinement of a bygone era through a new selection of A la Carte dishes, and new club brunch menu and daily lunch menus.
The brainchild of Black Sheep Restaurants founders Syed Asim Hussain and Christopher Mark, Buenos Aires Polo Club takes its inspiration from the South American country’s elite members-only clubs from the early 1900s – a beacon of old-world refinement in a modern city.
Heading the Buenos Aries Polo Club kitchen is Executive Chef Jack Carson. His comprehensive menu highlights the versatility of the custom-built Parilla grill, with dishes ranging from rich Provoleta to the signature beef cuts sourced from Argentina’s premier open-range cattle station, General Pico.
The Argentinian flavour is not only limited to the food offerings; the Buenos Aires Polo Club’s dining room contains equestrian accents, an unparalleled steak knife collection, and an extensive Argentine wine list to complete the stately feeling of a time-honoured country club.
The new a la carte dishes
This season, Buenos Aires Polo Club adds new a la carte dishes to its menu that celebrate Argentina’s dynamic grilling culture and cuisine.
