Hey Fitzroy, there’s a new chicken joint in town. This one is by Chef Alejandro Saravia and the rest of the team behind San Telmo and Pastuso. CHE is a cosy little place, occupying the space that used to be Shocolate, though there’s also outdoors seating around the side. View all feedback.
At the awkward time of 330pm, we were trying to decide between lunch or dinner. Dunch? Lunner? It definitely wasn’t afternoon tea as we were starving and needed something substantial. So off we went to CHE for some chicken. Chicken is great anytime of the day, don’t you think? <br/ <br/ Since CHE stands for chicken, helado and empanada, we ordered all three to try. First the chicken. It was very well seasoned smoky and peppery. The skin was very crisped, if not a bit too crisped. A bit dry here and there, but overall it was tasty. <br/ <br/ Moving on the dulce de leche helado (ice cream). This was my favourite. Soft, creamy and surpassingly light. We added an alfajor and the crumbly cookie and gooey dulce de leche were a delightful contrast to the soft serve. <br/ <br/ Now for the empanada. While the fillings were delicious, we found the pastry a bit too firm. Never had an authentic empanada so we can’t be sure if that was how it was supposed to be. It didn’t come cheap at $5 a piece.<br/ <br/ Last but not least, we also ordered a pumpkin and feta salad, and this was my partner’s favourite. The herbal pesto had a refreshing punchy flavour, bringing life to the simple roasted pumpkin. <br/ <br/ Warm and friendly service, coupled with a relaxed and casual atmosphere, we can see ourselves returning.
Stopped by for lunch on a rainy Melbourne day. No one else in this place, and couldn't understand why. The food was absolutely delicious and the selection of Argentinian beverages was great. Loved the Empanadas sooo good!!!
I really rate this place we’ve been here a couple times since it opened. Really good, flavoursome chicken, hand cut chips and spicy mayo. Also addicted to empanadas now. Biiiiiiiit pricey but that’s ok we will live.
Casual venue with limited but well designed menu. We started with smoked beef empanadas with chimichurri. These were really tasty and had a good ratio of meat to pastry. Then between 4 we shared a whole chicken with the quinoa, broccoli and kale salad and a large chips. The chicken was juicy and the chips were excellent and crispy.
Had lunch on a beautiful Saturday and was able to sit outside. Enjoyed the chicken sandwich and empenadas reminded me of Buenos Aires. High quality tasty South American food. Would go back and recommend for an affordable lunch in Fitzroy!
