Agosto pide planes simples: amigos, buena comida y dejar sitio para el postre. El resto, que pase en Ceferino.
Hace unos días recibimos nuevamente en Ceferino a Luis de la Fuente. Antes de convertirse en campeón, nos hizo una promesa: “Si salgo campeón, vuelvo”. Y volvió para cumplirla. Fue un verdadero placer compartir este momento con él y comprobar que las promesas de los campeones se cumplen. 🏆
Mi experiencia en Ceferino: un 10/10. 🥩🍷 Fuimos con amigas y nos encantó todo: la carne, los cócteles, el ambiente y, sobre todo, la atención. De esos sitios donde cenas bien, te quedas a brindar y ya quieres volver. ¿Ya lo conocían?
Tiramos unos facts porque el verano está a tope: ☀️ Los buenos amigos siempre encuentran una excusa para verse. Una mesa se disfruta más cuando se comparte. Todo gran asado empieza mucho antes del fuego: en la elección del corte. Y unas buenas verduras nunca están de más.
El producto lo eliges tú. Nosotros nos encargamos de respetarlo, cuidar cada detalle y llevarlo al fuego como merece. Estos son solo algunos de los sabores que forman parte de Ceferino. 📍 Jorge Juan, 27. Barrio de Salamanca.
Hay dos tipos de personas este verano: las que siguen buscando dónde comer… y las que ya tienen mesa en Ceferino. 🥩🔥 Si todavía no has probado nuestra parrilla argentina, este es el momento. ¿Nos vemos hoy?
Background
About Ceferino
The Story
Ceferino opened in January 2024, backed by an Argentine group, Marcos Mc Cluskey, Mariano Menéndez and Felipe Williamson, with Emilio Souto directing operations. Jorge Campos handled the interior design, the wood, marble and bronze-candelabra look meant to evoke an Argentine estancia.
The Cuisine
Argentine parrilla. The grill section splits into Argentine Aberdeen Angus cuts, dry-aged beef and the slow-cooked asador de cruz, with empanadas, provoleta, achuras and milanesas around them.
The Grill
The current carta (September 2026) lists Argentine Aberdeen Angus cuts with a recommended minimum of 500g: bife de chorizo and ojo de bife whole or as half portions, a Wagyu vacío medialuna, solomillo, and American Black Angus entraña. Dry-aged cuts come by the kilo: a boneless lomo aged 25 to 35 days, a 35-day Rubia Gallega chuletón and a T-bone. The asador de cruz, where meat is splayed on an iron cross and cooked slowly beside the fire, produces whole vacío and beef asado de tira, and a 'degustación asador' brings asado de tira, vacío and chorizo together on one board.
Before and After the Meat
Starters follow the Argentine script: hand-cut beef, fugazzetta and humita empanadas, sweetbreads, morcilla and chorizo, grilled provoleta and a knife-cut Angus steak tartare. There are grilled vegetables (artichokes, leek and onion, sweet potato in the embers, corn), salads including burrata with flambéed peaches, and from the kitchen, beef milanesa plain or napolitana, grilled salmon and corvina, smoked octopus with chimichurri parmentier and Austral prawns. Desserts include a mascarpone flan, pavlova and panqueques filled with dulce de leche. Bread and aperitivo are charged at €3.50, and the terrace carries a 10% supplement. The kitchen closes earlier than the bar: 23:30 most nights, midnight on Friday.
The Chef
The Team
The restaurant's own philosophy, attributed to its founders: 'cocinar con fuegos es el modo más emocionante de ser generoso,' cooking with fire is the most exciting way to be generous, a line that shows up across their materials.

Ceferino Dining Experience
Wood, marble, bronze candelabras and earth tones spread across three levels here, evoking an Argentine estancia. The basement hides Malevo, a speakeasy pouring craft cocktails. Upstairs, the room stays cozy and refined, and there's a terrace. Service is warm and attentive.

On Calle de Jorge Juan in Recoletos, Ceferino opened in January 2024 across three levels styled like an Argentine estancia, wood, marble and bronze candelabras, with a basement speakeasy called Malevo.
Nearby
Recoletos runs along the grand boulevards between Plaza de Cibeles and Puerta de Alcalá, where the buildings are stately and the pavements are wide. The eating leans formal and expense-account, with classic dining rooms sitting beside newer, sharper kitchens. It shades into Salamanca as you go east, and the prices follow.
