La Torca Palermo, Spanish restaurant in Palermo, Argentina.
La Torca Palermo is a seafood and fish restaurant in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, sitting at the corner of Costa Rica and Medrano streets. The menu centers on Spanish-style fish preparations alongside shellfish dishes, with a focus on fresh product and simple cooking.
Buenos Aires received large waves of Spanish immigrants throughout the 20th century, and that movement left a clear mark on the city's food scene. Restaurants focused on fish and seafood in the Spanish style emerged in neighborhoods like Palermo to serve communities that brought those cooking habits with them.
La Torca Palermo follows cooking methods rooted in northern Spanish coastal traditions, where fish is prepared simply on a flat iron grill known as a plancha. Guests can notice this approach in the way the dishes arrive at the table: straightforward, without heavy sauces, letting the fish speak for itself.
The restaurant is open mainly for dinner on weekdays and also for lunch on Sundays, so planning ahead helps avoid waiting. Booking a table in advance is a good idea, especially on weekends when demand tends to be higher.
The restaurant offers a delivery service covering the Palermo area, which means the same fish dishes available on-site can be ordered from home. This makes it one of the few places in the neighborhood where you can get Spanish-style seafood delivered to your door.
