What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Asador Olaverri is widely praised for its exceptional charcoal-grilled meats, particularly the chuletón, and its high-quality fish dishes. Diners consistently highlight the warm, modern atmosphere and friendly, efficient staff. While most experiences are outstanding, occasional comments mention longer than expected waits for tables or minor issues with specific dishes, though the overall sentiment remains overwhelmingly positive.
"This is an amazing place for chuletón.
Steak was full of flavour and soft as butter. I really recommend it!
Also prices are reasonable for the quality they’re offering."
Nelson Shilman
"Lovely place, kind and great atmosphere. I would give 5* but the spring mushrooms were not great, and the meat was a bit cold intended. we had to send twice to warm it up.
The rest was nice. Cheesecake is not what we expected, but it tasted nice.
I still prefer the one we had in Málaga. (I know but turst me, that was the best one so far) p4ice was reasonable as expected. I would have back foe the fish dishes."
Rocio T E
"Well designed modern interior - with open view of the grill area and the chuletones waiting to be done. We were made to feel at home in this busy and very popular local. Reservations essential. The food was outstanding - we had pimientos asados con ventrisca, pintxos de chistorra, a superb huevos revueltos con setas and finally the outstanding chuleton, nice sealed with firm crust and fading to rare inside - delicious.
Next time we will try the fish - the turbot looked amazing
I highly recomend this restaurant. We went on a Monday anf found the place packed - they finally squeezed us in on the second turn. Very friendly and proficient staff."
