Fogón Asado

If the idea of a dining experience based around a traditional grill concept sounds appealing, this unusual restaurant in the Palermo district will definitely fit the bill but you’ll need to book ahead! Attention to detail is to the fore here, and the subdued lighting and open brickwork ensure that all the focus is on the large grill at the centre of the dining room. The dining experience, based around an 8-course menu (fire-roasted aubergines, chorizo, morcilla, Provoleta cheese, a succulent glazed pork belly, pine cone-smoked “ceja” and ribeye), is both informative and interactive with constant communication between the grill chefs and guests, the majority of whom are tourists or groups of friends. Everything the chefs do is explained in detail, from the provenance of the wood used, the feed used for the cattle, the best accompanying salsas etc. A splendid and fun journey lasting over two hours across Argentina’s most popular culinary art form!
