Photo: HandoutDon Pedro is Sai Ying Pun’s new candlelit steakhouse and wine bar, soft opening on Second Street on May 20 as a personal project by Chris Mark and Vidur Yadav, one of Black Sheep Restaurants’ co-founders and his business partner and protege. Inspired by Buenos Aires’ relaxed parrilla culture, the 35-seat neighbourhood spot pairs butcher-led precision with a room designed for long dinners, steady conversation and malbec by the glass. An exclusive malbec flight underscores the restaurant’s focus on Argentina’s signature grape.The menu moves from house-made charcuterie and chorizo flambé to handmade beef empanadas, plancha-cooked rib-eye and tenderloin aged in-house, while dessert keeps things simple with freshly made gelato with walnuts and whisky.The restaurant is currently walk-in only, although it will begin accepting bookings from June 2.Where: Shop E & Shop F, G/F, Tung Cheung Building, 1 Second Street, Sai Ying PunWhen: 5-11pm, Tuesdays to Sundays including public holidays
