Tomorrow is Marble Score Monday at Palermo!
That means we've selected some steaks with especially high marbling to fire over our signature Parrilla grill. The Palermo way is to cook a steak directly over glowing charcoal, creating a perfect crust and infusing a hint of rich smoke into every bite. Pair this classic Argentinian technique with the exceptional marbling in these cuts and you have a steak experience you won't find anywhere else.
Booking are open, check the link in our bio.

POV: You have synesthesia and can taste colours.
Our Crudo is speckled red with Olio Santo; olive oil with a particular blend of spices. The infused spice is then passed through a fine filter and dried into what we call Santo Salt, which is then used to season the fish.
We're open every day, come try it for yourself.

MALBEC MONTH
April 17th marks World Malbec Day, commemorating Argentina’s commitment in 1853 to what would become its signature grape. We decided one day wasn't enough for us, so we're celebrating the occasion across the entire month, with a very special selection of Malbec poured by the glass.
As the exclusive Australian importer of Mendel and Revancha wines, we are taking this opportunity to raise a glass to one of Argentina's most respected and renowned winemakers, Roberto de la Mota. It’s your chance to explore some of Argentina's very best Malbecs, right here in Melbourne, all throughout April.
Walk in or make a booking and ask about our special selection of Malbecs - which are also available on Vino Del Mundo's website!
¡Salud!

Parrilla-fired perfection.

A Parrilla grill gets hot - very hot.
Working so close to blazing hot coals definitely keeps you warm during winter. It's all worth it for the unbeatable crust, smoky flavour, and perfect sear on every Palermo steak.

Carefully selected, precisely seasoned, elementally heated, heartily enjoyed.

Our mural of Coca Sarli is one of many relics we've collected over the years; a piece of culture from another time.
When you step into Palermo, you're stepping into Argentina.

We do our own dry-aging at Palermo. As it sits in a controlled environment, moisture slowly evaporates from a cut of beef, concentrating flavours, giving a rich and mature taste to a steak.
It's a slow and deliberate process, but it's well worth the wait.

What people say
Argentinian restaurants are known for their delicious grilled cuisine and fine wine, which are meant to be shared with loved ones. Palermo Restaurant Melbourne perfectly embodies this tradition with its contemporary twist on age-old Argentinean cuisine. As the younger sister of San Telmo, one of the CBD's most revered restaurants, Palermo has borrowed from its boisterous old-world charm and fused it with a nonchalant new-world chic.
Designed by architects Ewert Leaf, Palermo's interior is a nod to the vibrant and eclectic barrio of the same name in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The restaurant features a mezzanine level, rich bespoke carpeting, raw timber and steel accents, a cow hide feature wall, retro black and white tiles, antique syphon bottle lighting fixtures, a marble bar, and a beautiful Tuscan mural centerpiece.
However, the real showstopper at Palermo is undoubtedly its rustic red brick Asado fire pit. This traditional tailor-made Argentinean Parrilla grill invites both spectacle and intimacy through its bed of searing flames and charcoal. Splaying whole raised beasts over the smoldering circular redbrick fire pit exudes a bush campfire feel that stokes an unmistakably vibrant spirit.
Overall, Palermo Restaurant Melbourne is an excellent choice for those looking for an authentic Argentinian dining experience in Melbourne. From its delicious grilled cuisine to its fine wine selection and stunning interior design, Palermo has everything you need for an unforgettable night out with friends or family.
