Casa Malevo is an Argentine restaurant at 23 Connaught Street in Connaught Village. Its cocina Argentina celebrates the country’s grill traditions while using locally sourced ingredients and allowing the menu to change with the seasons. The intimate dining room provides a warm setting for lunch, dinner and a leisurely meal shared over wine.
A meal can begin with grilled provolone served with honey, almonds and crostini, burrata with heritage tomatoes or king prawns with cabbage and green chilli sauce. Handmade empanadas are baked with fillings such as beef with onion and egg, chicken with vegetables, spinach and mozzarella or blue cheese and walnuts. Platters allow several flavours to be compared around the table.
The grill is central to Casa Malevo. Sirloin, rib eye and fillet steaks offer different balances of tenderness and flavour, with sauces and side dishes allowing each diner to shape the plate. Chorizo criollo and a choripan sandwich bring another recognisably Argentine expression of fire, meat and bright chimichurri.
Beyond the grill, the kitchen prepares sea bass with vegetables, lamb chops with salsa verde, a premium beef burger with bacon jam and butternut squash ravioli with butter and sage. Cauliflower steak gives vegetables a substantial role. The wine list explores Argentina’s varied regions, supported by cocktails and a small international selection chosen to complement the food.
