The Room

Germán Martitegui (also of the Michelin-starred Tegui) opened Olsen in Palermo Hollywood in 2001 — a serious chef-driven Scandinavian-Argentine dining room with a glass-walled garden setting.

Eater Buenos Aires has held Olsen on its top-Palermo rankings every year of operation.

The Food

The menu runs Scandinavian-influenced with Argentine product. The seasonal-rotating preparations, the chef's tasting handle the menu's wider draws.

Wine programme is Argentine and Nordic. Cocktails are aperitivi-led.
