Located in the heart of Dubai’s downtown luxury district (at Palace Downtown Dubai, overlooking the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain), Asado offers more than a meal—it is an immersive Argentine-style grill experience, paired with a view that defines Dubai’s glamour.
The name “Asado” comes from the Argentine method of open-fire grilling—wood and charcoal, slow-roasted meats and bold flavours. At this restaurant, you’ll find that tradition reinvented in a world-class setting.
Location & Setting
Addressed as: Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, Downtown Dubai, UAE (inside the Palace Downtown Hotel).
The venue boasts terrace seating overlooking the fountain show and Burj Khalifa—making it one of the most sought-after dining views in Dubai.
The interior aesthetic: rustic Argentine farmhouse meets elegant modern dining: exposed brickwork, warm wood, leather seating, a glass-walled parrilla (open grill) in the centre.
🍽️ Cuisine & Menu Highlights
The heart of Asado is the parrilla grill – premium cuts of meat cooked on fire, served with Argentine flavours. According to critics, it’s one of the city’s best-steakhouse experiences.
Key Dishes
- Provoleta Asada: Grilled provolone cheese with olive oil & oregano.
- Baby goat “Cabrito Asado”: Roasted whole or portion, a signature heritage dish.
- Steak cuts: Rib-eye, sirloin, tenderloin; premium Argentine beef.
- Starters & sharing plates like empanadas, lobster tostada, smoked burrata, squid-ink risotto.
Beverage & Wine
Asado holds one of the largest Argentine wine selections in the Middle East, especially Malbecs, alongside a full cellar of global wines. squaremeal.ae
Experience
Whether you pick outdoor terrace for the fountain view or indoor for the ambience, the food and service are designed to make it a dinner to remember. As one review noted:
“We had a table outside…the food was amazing…and the views of the fountains and Burj made our evening.”
Ambience & Experience
At dusk, the terrace transforms: the fountain lights up, the Burj Khalifa glows, and the air is filled with the sizzle of open-fire grilling. Inside, the “grill theatre” is central—glass-partitioned so you can watch the chefs at work.
It suits business dinners, romantic evenings, special celebrations or upscale social gatherings. The dress code is smart-casual, and it’s highly recommended to reserve a table with a fountain view.
📍 Why It Stands Out
- Location with one of the best vantage points in downtown Dubai.
- Authentic Argentine grill tradition, executed at very high standards.
- A balance of visual spectacle (views) + culinary depth (meats + wine).
- Suitable both for luxury dining and memorable evenings.
