About Astor Argentinian Grill
Astor's a small Argentine grill in Tavira's old town centre where the chef actually comes out to talk about the meat. You're eating in a cosy space with an open grill — the kind of place that fills up quickly, which tells you something. The menu leans heavily on steaks and pasta (carbonara gets specific praise), paired with a solid wine list that includes Argentine Malbec. Service moves fast without rushing you. Reviewers keep mentioning the same things: the tenderloin's tender, the chef cares about how you want it cooked, the portions are generous even on starters, and the prices don't match the quality you're getting. It's the sort of restaurant where people come back twice.
What Stands Out
Meat cooked with precision
Reviewers consistently praise the steaks: 'The tenderloin was one of the best I've ever eaten,' 'cooked to perfection,' 'jugosa, tierna' (juicy, tender). The chef discusses cooking preferences with each table.
Chef presence that matters
'Chef came out for a chat about the meat and how we wanted it cooked' and 'the chef came out to make sure everything was good' — this isn't theatrics, it's quality control.
Value that surprises
'Very reasonable prices for the food and the wine' and 'un precio excepcional' (exceptional price) — reviewers mention quality and cost together, which means they're not paying premium rates for premium food.
What Customers Say

Yes. Reviewers mention the place fills up and one specifically recommends reserving because it can be full. No online booking available — call ahead.
The tenderloin steak. Multiple reviewers single it out as exceptional. The carbonara pasta also gets specific mention. Ask the chef about steak sizes when you order.
Small, cosy, with an open grilled area. Full by dinner service. The chef moves between tables. It's intimate, not loud — the kind of place where you notice the smell of the grill the moment you walk in.
A solid list with Argentine options. Malbec pairs with the steaks and comes recommended by staff. Reviewers praise the wine selection and value.
