In both cases we are talking about meat, embers and a meal that revolves around fire. But when you sit down at the table, the difference is more noticeable than it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It's not just a question of cooking meat. It changes the type of experience, the way of understanding the product, the role of the grill in the restaurant and even the way in which the food is experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At<strong> Bacacay Argentine Grill<\/strong>, in the center of Alicante, we work precisely from that idea: to offer a grill experience that not only serves meat, but also has its own identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It's not just meat: it's a different way of understanding the table.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a normal steakhouse, meat may be one of the main items on the menu. In a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bacacay.es\/en\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bacacay.es\/\">argentine grill<\/a>,<\/strong> instead, the grill is usually the center of everything. This changes the experience quite a bit, because the proposal is designed around:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Meat quality<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Cooking point<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>The taste of the ember<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Cuts with personality<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>The meal as a social moment<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"615\" src=\"https:\/\/bacacay.es\/media\/BACACAY-EVENTO-0047-edited-e1709654408342.webp\" alt=\"About us, Full Argentinean Parrillada served at Bacacay Parrilla: juicy meat, chorizo criollo, blood sausage and grilled vegetables.\" class=\"wp-image-645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bacacay.es\/media\/BACACAY-EVENTO-0047-edited-e1709654408342.webp 1200w, https:\/\/bacacay.es\/media\/BACACAY-EVENTO-0047-edited-e1709654408342-768x394.webp 768w, https:\/\/bacacay.es\/media\/BACACAY-EVENTO-0047-edited-e1709654408342-18x9.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The grill plays a major role<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the clearest differences is that, in Argentine cuisine, the grill is not just another resource. It is an essential part of the restaurant's gastronomic identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is evident in the way the menu is constructed, in the prominence of the cuts and in the importance given to fire as part of the final result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a more generic steakhouse, meat can coexist with other dishes without such a defined line. In an Argentinean steakhouse, on the other hand, everything revolves much more around that specialty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The cuts have more personality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another important difference is in the type of cuts and how they are presented to the customer. In an Argentinean steakhouse there is usually a more marked culture around meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It's not just asking for \u201ccarne a la brasa\u201d. It's finding cuts that have different nuances, different textures and a more defined personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That also makes the experience more interesting for those who enjoy meat and want something more than a standard option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A different option in downtown Alicante<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Argentine cuisine has a very strong relationship with the encounter, the after-dinner conversation and the shared meal. For this reason, an Argentinean grill usually invites more to <strong>share,<\/strong> to order several dishes, to try different things and to experience food more calmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At many regular steakhouses, the experience can be more functional: you choose a main course, eat and finish. At an Argentine steakhouse, often the meal becomes a more complete plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It's not just the meat that matters: the context is also important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another difference is in everything that accompanies the grill. In an Argentinean proposal, the context usually has more weight. This is also the case here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Typical starters<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Argentine wine list<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Classic desserts<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The ambience of the premises<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The way to serve and recommend<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, it's not just the product that changes. The universe that surrounds the food also changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DVwWB86iPTi\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
