Welcome,

Take a sneak peek at our latest delicious. reader dinner to celebrate The Year of the Pig at Porteño

Our latest delicious. reader dinner was held on May 6 at Porteño in Surry Hills. Guests were invited to a Year of the Pig feast, as Porteño, PorkStars and delicious. joined forces. Held at the original restaurant on Cleveland Street in Sydney’s Surry Hills, now the group’s vibrant two-storey event space, Casa Porteño. On the night, Porteño’s star pairing, extravagantly tattooed chefs and owners Ben Milgate and Elvis Abrahanowicz, treated diners to an exuberant Argentinian-style pork dinner cooked on the restaurant’s traditional parrilla (barbecue) and asado (pit of fire) in a venue designed to transport guests to an Argentinian ranch. Along with this celebration of all things pork, guests enjoyed drinks from one of Australia’s most innovative winemakers, Jed Wines.
