Porteno Restaurant

Description

Porteño is an Argentinean restaurant that opened in West Chelsea in December 2011, just one block from the Highline at West 27th Street. The word Porteño refers to a person who is from or lives in a port city -- In Argentina, you are a Porteño if you are from Buenos Aires. Porteño introduces innovative Argentinean cuisine that brings a hint of Buenos Aires to New York City, fusing old-world recipes with new-world preparations. In opening Porteño, owners Jorge Mendoza and Jorge Albarracin seek to create a unique place for our guests to enjoy good food and good company and to satisfy those who crave the vibe of Buenos Aires society.
