We had our first taste of over the weekend and boy did it not disappoint. Tucked into a tiny little space in SYP, this is top level food served in a neighbourhood setting at its best 🔥
Ingredients are everything here, so the beef is sourced from the same prestigious farms and breeders as the legendary Parrilla Don Julio in Buenos Aires. Two definitive cuts are cooked on a plancha to ensure both minimal manipulation and maximum flavour. In Don Pedro’s the 12oz Ribeye is aged for 75 days and the 8oz Tenderloin for 40 days.
Dinner may begin with house-made charcuterie, including Hong Kong black pork terrine with apricot and pistachio which arrives at your table with complimentary condiments via trolly.
Side dishes are intentionally limited. Bravas potatoes are a deeply addictive rendition of the Spanish classic, while oyster mushrooms are pressed on the plancha until exceptionally crispy. The singular beauty of fresh asparagus contrasts beautifully with world class beef, as does a fresh wedge salad topped with smoked provolone and salsa golf.
When it comes to dessert, the restaurant’s namesake takes centre stage. Co-Founders Chris Mark and are both obsessed by ice cream and feel that freezing it ruins the texture, so the freshly turned gelato is made fresh daily at Don Pedro. It is then topped with toasted walnuts and a generous pour of whisky for the ultimate in simple decadence, especially with an order of hot churros alongside.
