Testimonials

The course went by very quickly and in a very enjoyable way, you don't even feel the hours pass, the facilities are excellent, all the equipment they provide is super professional, and the Grill Master is very patient and professional. It's definitely worth it.

The course was top-notch, the food, the techniques, the service. Highly recommended.

Most importantly: You'll have a great time, have fun, converse, and there are also beers included ;), you will eat delicious things that you made yourself (of course with the guidance of the Grill Master). As a barbecue fan, I enjoyed it a lot, but it's also a very pleasant social activity, a different afternoon in a very nice place. Plus, we learned several interesting things that I will definitely apply in my day-to-day to make my barbecues and "carne asadas" better and better. Amazing experience!

An opportunity to learn a new menu, very well designed to my taste, but I emphasize the magic of the flavors, of course, I will continue taking more courses.

Great experience overall, each plate was delicious and each better than the last one, shoutout to the staff for the amazing service.

A 100% recommended experience, it has brought us together as a family, now we practice the recipes on weekends and we improve our grilling skills
