Fire. Smoke. Steel. No gimmicks. No unnecessary theatrics. Just cooks standing over open flame, moving with quiet confidence while the room watches the ritual unfold. Every plate carried the flavor of fire and patience. The steak was perfect. The vegetables weren't treated like an afterthought. Even the simplest bites had depth, texture, and soul. The kind of place where you lose track of time because you're too busy watching the kitchen work. Buenos Aires knows meat. FOGÓN reminds you it also understands restraint, hospitality, and craft. One of the best meals of our trip. Easy 5 stars. read more

We went with a group of 6 for the 11 course tasting menu, as recommended by our local travel agency. They open at 7:30p and have only one dinner seating, we arrived a few minutes beforehand and waited out front for the doors to open. Once inside, we were all seated at a bar style table, where you could watch the food being prepared. Each course had a wine pairing, and if you wanted more wine you simply set your glass on the higher edge and it was refilled. The 11 courses included a nice selection of started, several asada dishes and dessert. It was an experience and a show, while being delicious! read more

Genuinely, Fogon Asado was one of the best dining experiences I've had. When I travel, I love to do one dining / elevated dining experience if I can help it. After intense research, I decided Fogon would be perfect for my first trip to Buenos Aires and I'm so happy I did because it was such a memorable, delicious highlight of the trip. Service and ambiance was fantastic. Every seat is "bar seating" so you're able to watch and take in the cooking. The service was impeccable and thoughtful - I love that we get to select our own knife as part of the meal. I opted for the 9 course dinner and the wine tasting which they were generous about their pours and refilled your glass consistently. There were SO many memorable bites including the braised short rib, the blood sausage and chorizo, provoleta, the meats. Everybody I was with had different favorites which I think demonstrates that every dish came out well executed. The dessert was wonderful too. I have to recommend this spot to everyone!! read more

Fogon Asado was rated one of the best restaurants in all of Buenos Aires, and even the 35th best steakhouse in the world. I booked the lunch tasting, which was a 9 course tasting menu of various Argentine dishes and meats. The ambiance is really cool because you get to be seated around the fogon, and watch the chef grill the meats in front of you. The experience was quite interesting, as you get to sample various different types of Argentine dishes and not just the meats as you would get at a normal steakhouse. They grilled up different vegetables, made different purées, etc., that really gave a visitor a good sense of Argentine food. I will say that while all the courses were quite solid, I wasn't really blown away by that many of the dishes. I think my bar was higher for this spot than other places I tried in BA because the price point is higher (even compared to Don Julio, etc.). I'm glad I gave it a try, but if I were to come back and could only try one spot in Buenos Aires, I might go back to a more traditional steakhouse. That might just be personal preference though. read more

You must book and pay for the tasting or chef experience on their website. They had one lunch and one dinner seating each day. I jointed a Monday tasting lunch which consisted of 9 courses. I booked that day as there were no other lunch spots for the rest of my stay. About 10 minutes before my appointment one of the staff came out to escort me in. The foyer inside was rustic and here we were served an aperitif or lemonade until they opened the doors to the kitchen. It was only bar seating facing the grill. The seven of us met the chef and she gave a thorough explanation of each cut of meat being served and how each would be prepared. Wine was the only option offered after we sat down beside water. The agua con gas came in its own spritzer bottle and a couple people pressed the lever too hard spraying it all over the table! There was only two staff on site. The did the main food prep with joint plating while our greeter handled all the wine pouring, explaining each of the dishes and clearing of the dishes. We even were presented with a case of steak knives to self select our own to use. Commendable job for both. The asado (short rib) was my overall favorite meat with its melt in the mouth texture and such a flavorful taste. I wanted so much more. The most generous selection was the ribeye as the extra steaks were also cut up and presented to us for seconds! Meat overload. My least favorite dishes were the morcilla and molleja since I ate both for the first time and just not a fan of blood sausage or sweetbreads. The dulce de leche pancake was a sweet wrap up with a little flair. Since we all prepaid, we had the option of tipping/paying for wine via credit card, ARS or USD. I enjoyed this 2+hour dining experience and glad I went for lunch so I had time to walk off the calories! read more

Had the 14-course tasting menu. 3 hours of delicious! Chef Adrian on the fire, he nailed it. All the dishes were expertly executed. The Asado style was really cool to see and be a part of. The beef rib was exceptional; can't stop thinking about this dish. We got lucky and found a reservation that fit our schedule just the day before (it wasn't there a week ago), so thank you to whoever cancelled! read more

It's weird to say, but on a trip centered around going to Antarctica this was one of the biggest highlights. This meal was amazing. The chef walked us through each course explaining the food, the preparation method, and the history behind the dish. Each course was fantastic. I will go here every future visit to Buenos Aires. read more

If there was a meal that defined our entire honeymoon, our evening at Fogón Asado would be it. This wasn't just dinner, it was a personal and immersive experience into Argentinian culinary tradition, led by a passionate chef-owner and a team that treats every guest like family. To this day, this remains one of our favorite dining experiences EVER! From the moment we walked in and were served our welcome drinks, the energy was warm, inviting, and intimate. The 9-course experience ($85 per person) was nothing short of spectacular, each dish thoughtfully prepared and presented as part of a narrative that celebrated Argentina's rich asado culture. Every course offered was delicious: Appetizers & Entrées: - Provoleta Cheese with grilled fruit and a delicate Torrontés reduction -Mollejas (sweetbreads) paired with roasted tomatoes and ginger - El Matrimonio de Chorizo y Morcilla - Slow-braised Asado with miso - Ribeye with mashed boniatos Dessert: - Crepes with dulce de leche To elevate the experience, I opted for a wine pairing. Torn between the two pairing options, I took the staff's recommendation to go with the slightly more diverse selection, which was the $38 pairing featuring four great selections from Catena Zapata. Not only were the pours generous, but for those who had the pairing (myself included), our glasses were topped off with our favorite wines throughout the night. One of the many highlights? The staff surprised us with a complimentary champagne toast to celebrate our honeymoon! This was an unexpected but deeply appreciated touch that made the evening feel even more special. And just when we thought the night couldn't get any better, diners were offered extra portions from the grill. At Fogón Asado, it is clear that they truly value the family/communal aspect of the Asado experience. We were incredibly lucky to snag a last-minute reservation the night before, and honestly, I can't imagine a more perfect way to experience Asado in Buenos Aires. Fogón Asado is not just a restaurant--it's a celebration of Argentina's culinary history with some creative twists. If you ever find yourself in Buenos Aires, book this experience. Immediately! THIS is an experience that is worth going "out of the way" for. The 12 course menu paired with the premium wine pairing must be out of this world! TIP: Please bring cash to tip the servers! Tip is not included on the bill, nor can it be taken from your credit card. read more

We booked this place for our anniversary dinner. The doors opened at 7.30pm and you were welcomed with a cocktail. There were 9 courses and I appreciated that they could accommodate me as vegetarian. The vegetarian courses were solid and my husband also enjoyed the different courses though he did say they didn't ask for his preference on the steak and it was rare so he didn't enjoy as much. The service and the food was good but we didn't walk away thinking this was the best meal ever. I would give it 4 stars based on our experience read more

Each of our 14 courses was delicious. David was our host, Fredrico (i think that was his name) was the tall main chef and I unfortunately did not catch the other Chef's name. Wines from the pairing were fabulous. It was really nice to be able to watch the preparation from your seat. Be warned that your face may get hot if you are seated in front of the fire. I'm from Florida so it was just like a short visit home. read more

Great vibe, woody, campfire, low light, trendy music, stylish staff Roasted Eggplant with ricotta cheese: way too much lemon juice. Too sour for my taste. Eggplant is really creamy though Cheese grilled fruit: good idea of matching fruit and cheese. A bit too salty for me. Strong smell. Has a meat texture Molleja: pancrea and heart? I like the meat part. Not a huge fan with the sauce with it Morcilla: I like the chorizo, good texture. Blood sausage was with sweet sour sauce which I don't really think is a good match Braised asado: really tender meat! Great flavor, see salt is a bit too much saltiness. Would recommend remove some salt crystal Pork flank steak: unfortunately, I got the jerky skin part which was super difficult to cut. I thought it's my knife's terrible( they specifically try to sell this as a special choice), but the other people's meat were much thicker and easy to cut. Just unlucky. You eat what you get. Smoked Ribeye cap: fancy way of cooking. They burn pine cone and smoked the meat which is super tender and right amount of flavor. Also interesting way using cauliflower purée Ribeye: good chunk of meat. My favorite part is actually the mashed sweet potato purée. They'll also give you the bone if you want. Extra meat. Great steak as well Pancake with Dulce de leche: fancy presenting method as well. Hot iron caramalized the sugar on top of the crepe. Mesmerizing smoke and self-serving berries and whipped cream. Too bad I was already too full Coffee/tea: not sugar or cream served. Lots of selection for tea bags Pretty full after the 2 hours long meal. read more

We enjoyed our meal so much during our first visit in December 2023 that we returned on our next trip to Buenos Aires. We prefer this location because it feels more intimate, but the menu is the same at both spots. We went with the Tasting Menu, and believe me, you'll leave feeling completely stuffed. We love seeing the meats before they're cooked and hearing the chefs explain the dishes. The menu includes a complimentary cocktail, and you can choose to upgrade to a wine pairing on the spot. The staff is friendly, and the environment is cheerful! We always make new friends here. read more

Fogón Asado in Palermo delivers an authentic and immersive Argentine asado experience that's hard to forget. The highlight for me was the table-side firewood cooking, which adds both warmth and showmanship to the meal--an excellent way to experience the ritual of asado up close. The ribeye cap stood out as the best cut of the night--juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. You definitely won't go hungry here; the portions are generous and well-paced throughout the meal. I opted for the wine pairing, which was decent overall, though not exceptional. The standout was a Mendoza red from Catena Zapata, which complemented the grilled meats beautifully. The rest of the wines didn't quite live up to that standard, in my opinion. Service was excellent--attentive, informative, and friendly without being overbearing. In terms of value, I'd say it's fair for the experience you get, especially considering the quality of the food and the interactive atmosphere. If you're looking to dive into a legit Argentine asado with a touch of theatrical flair, Fogón is well worth a visit. read more

We came for dinner on a Thursday night, and we were able to be seated immediately. The tasting menu took a few hours, and it was such a unique experience to sit in front of the fire and watch the staff cook/put final touches on our meal. The courses were a play on traditional Argentine dishes, which gave us an opportunity to understand some of the cultural mainstays while still being inventive. The wine pairing had some well known brands as well as a few smaller producers, and every wine slapped. My husband and I and other guests around the fire were able to get to know each other between courses, which only added to the experience. We paid a little extra for a knife as a souvenir, and we got to pick one out at the end of dinner from a huge selection. It was such a special experience and one of the best meals we've had in a while! read more

We decided to splurge and booked a table here at Fogón. They serve a tasting menu at a modern steak house setting. The entire dinner experience was phenomenal! From the moment you step inside and are welcomed with champagne to the 9 courses that you savor for almost 3 hours and all the extra little touches in between, this was quite a memorable night. For $70/person, you can certainly get an equally great steak at other Buenos Aires restaurants for slightly less but Fogón delivers an experience that is well worth the price. We also enjoyed the wine pairings as much as the food itself and had a great time learning and hearing about Argentina's asado traditions. read more

Just have to say they this the amazing meal experience I've had in Buenos Aires. This restaurant is by reservation only. It is a 3 hours dinner and 8 course tasting menu plus specials. We arrived at 7:30 and other diners were already in line waiting to get in. The restaurant is located in Palermo. It has a big knife as it's logo. Upon entering, staff showed us our seats. Seats are around the bar with the grill (fogon) in the center. It's predetermined based on when you make your reservation. Best seats are facing where all the cooking is done. I can't do justice on the food served so added the menu photo as reference. They start you with a delicious drink. You have the option or wine pairings with 3 different levels. They will keep pouring whenever your put your glass on the bar so if you drink a lot, we'll worth it. Going back to food, starts off with an eggplant appetizer with ricotta on top. Amazing! Next up is grilled cheese with pear and El matrimonio (sausages). They also offer a couple of surprises. For us, it's sweetbreads and short ribs. Ribs were fall off the bone... chef took it off the bone in front of you before serving! Next up are the main meat courses staring with pork flank. Now to the main entrees... eyebrow or steak cap and Ribeye. Portions was decent that I was getting full after the short ribs. I managed to finish all plus extra slice of ribeye. Ended the night with a crepe dessert. We didn't realized we were there for 3 hours. The chefs was very entertaining and explained the whole cooking process. Highly recommended to anybody who is going to Buenos Aires! We call the head chef 'Altuve' as he looks like Jose Altuve and also came from Venezuela. Price is very reasonable considering the experience. read more

Great experience, good food and nice people. A sampling of a variety of meats rather than one large steak. Very generous with the food and drinks. When we accidentally went to their 2nd location by mistake, they insisted on paying for an Uber to take us to the newer location. Great way to start off with a dose of hospitality. read more

An exceptional dining experience. We booked on-line. You are reminded to be punctual. The reason is valid. The experience starts when all parties are present. Everyone involved with your experience are attentive and not intrusive. You are explained what you are served, how they are prepared; what kind of wood is used for the fire and why. Oh, it's strictly for meat eaters. Excellent meats are prepared and served. Wine pairing is extra but why stop now? We chose the high end of the list and no regret. They are generous with their pours. Uber is inexpensive in Buenos Aires A must-do experience if you can make it to Fogon in Buenos Aires. Let Alejandro know we sent you. read more

One of the best steak experiences in my life. Everything was made fresh, the service was fantastic and the food was great. I can't remember half of the things we tried because the food kept coming. The inside is intimate and it seemed there was only one seating per night. Everyone gets their course at the same time. The bonus is that they kept pouring the wine! I would absolutely come back and recommend coming here when in BA. read more

Incredible Argentine dining experience. During my first trip to BA, I ate at many a steakhouse but had I known of this place it would be my only recommendation. Friends of my husband sent us here knowing how much we enjoy Omakase. This is an Argentine version of that, showcasing the various meats Argentina is so well known for. The whole tasting experience lasts around 3 hours but is entertaining every minute. The chefs will explain exactly what they are preparing for each dish, and serve small bites between them. I loved being able to watch them prepare the raw cuts and then see the cooking process from start to finish. Definitely opt in for the wine pairing, and if you can, come with friends to make a great evening from the experience. We ended up closing out the restaurant around midnight. Cannot recommend this place high enough. The pictures tell the best story. read more

I'd go here again for the ambiance... however the food and service were average. Beer option would be nice too.

We got the tasting menu experience. It starts with a small welcome cocktail and making your own chimichurri sauce which is fun. (They gift you a little bottle of spices and recipe so you can make this again at home). The chefs are so cool and talk through different cuts and ways of cooking. Everything was so delicious and the portion sizes and gaps between them were perfect for being able to finish everything. If you add the wine tasting option, you just put your empty glass up on the ledge in front of you to indicate you want a refill which is pretty cool. They also serve sparkling water in a pressurised bottle, one per party; be gentle with it so it doesn't spray everywhere. I would 100% do this again it was so fun and everything was super tasty. Recommend you take cash for tip though as a tip is not included in the prepaid price. They lowkey prefer USD but local currency fine too. read more

I wish I could review this place twice so I could give it 10 stars where to begin? you sit at a bar that surrounds the cooking area. lots of fire in going on there. I believe there are two seatings so everyone gets to enjoy the courses together. the evening starts with a delicious cocktail. I highly recommend the premium wine pairing option as the wine never stops flowing! the last courses are served with a three-glass tasting of rich cabs and malbecs multiple courses, plus some surprises that aren't on the published tasting menu. all elegantly presented. easily the best dining experience I had in BA and one of the top experiences I can remember having anywhere! read more

This was an awesome experience. I found the amount of food a bit overwhelming, but it was incredible. Lots of flavor, and so much care went into the preparation of each dish.

Plus, the cocktails they had waiting for us upon arrival were delicious! read more

What an experience, I recommended anyone visiting BA to try this Argentine experience. This is highly popular so reservation highly recommended at least a week ahead. It's located in Palermo so pick a day when you plan to be in that area. The whole experience last for hours so be ready not to plan anything. It's so called "closed door" experience which only lets people with reservation to be in, and wait until everyone seated to start. They cook everything in front of you, mostly just grilled. They have a massive grill that have different level to let different meat and vegetable grilled at different temperature. There are so much food, I recommend to get a wine pairing because it's unlimited refill. We got seated at 8 and left at midnight full and tipsy. It might be more expensive than a lot of place but it's the way to do it. And the quality is definitely Michelin star read more

We had a great experience at Fogon during our visit to Argentina in December 2021. I found Fogon through a travel website but I booked directly to avoid third party fees. This is an asado experience meaning that they educate you the food they cook while also having a great time eating those foods! The ticket I believe was $100/pp for Christmas Day dinner. I personally think this price is worth it. We had so many different meats cooked all differently. We also made our chimichurri sauce and took home the recipe which we have already used at home! My personal favorite was the short rib. Like wow the chef did such an amazing job cooking all the meats and even the desserts. The staff was super attentive and our wine glasses were never empty throughout the time we were there. The guests all came from different walks of life and I loved how the staff could speak multiple languages to explain the food experience to all the guests! I highly recommend this spot if you ever go to Buenos Aires! read more

When you place a reservation at Fogon, you aren't just choosing a one-hour, one course meal where you chitchat with a friend and occasionally have to wave down a waiter when you need them. Fogon is interactive, educational, and delicious! Our meal took up the full service, we were introduced to most of the chefs throughout the night and each one explained our meals. I was so impressed hearing them flip between Spanish, English, French, and Portuguese! To speak multiple languages in a casual manner and cook delicious steak meals at the same time is no easy feat! I loved that we got to create our own chimichurri sauce at the start and use it later once it was fully marinated. And then we got to take an extra dry chimichurri mix home with instructions. Fogon not only wants to eat the delicious steak but be a part of the experience! Some of the dishes that really stood out to me was the eggplant, pinecone infused steak, and sweetbreads. I would easily go visit Fogon when in CABA again! read more

I cannot say enough how much I would recommend this experience. We were worried it would be a little too kitschy, but it really is not. The place itself is super cool. You are greeted with a welcome drink and the ingredients to make your own chimichurri, which was cute. The food itself is incredible and the plating is great. The waitstaff are incredible attentive and the wine is essentially unlimited and delicious. Definitely the best meal I had in Argentina. Worth the price. read more

By far this was one of our MOST MEMORABLE experiences on our two week trip to Buenos Aires. We will be talking about this meal for a long time! My best tip is to not wear a tight pair of jeans! Get ready for some amazing photos and videos to document your moment! This is worth every penny! I did notice on line that there are ways to get a % rebate if you book through a 3rd party websites like Capital One which links to Trip Advisor. Also bring some cash for the tip! You will want to tip well as you become really friendly with the chefs who double as your servers. I am actually jealous you are going!! Have fun! read more

What a fantastic place to spend an evening with your significant other or a group of friends. A very unique concept of delivering an amazing culinary experience. The menu is prefixed and is paired with wine ( customer choice) Ok. First of all, pace yourself, lots of food will be coming your way over time so beware... It starts out very slow but trust me, you will not finish the main course. It just keeps coming and coming with one dish better then the other. Besides the delicious meat and unique presentation I would like to say something about the staff. The cooks, waitresses and everyone involved are extremely nice, speak English and very knowledgeable A+++ read more

This was by far the best parrilla experience while I was in BA. I have gone to both Don Julio and La Cabrera -- the overall quality of food/steak, service, drinks, ambiance and experience -- were second to none! Wholeheartedly loved this place and would recommend to everyone! We had their 8-course menu with two bonus surprises. They serve to a small group - ?15-20 people per dinner event, and requires reservation. In my opinion, it is the best parrilla place in BA! Make reservation ASAP! read more

My group and I decided to splurge on one meal in Buenos Aires, and after lots of consideration, we decided to dine at Fogón. We were greeted with the welcome cocktail, and by the time the first course, I knew we were in for a special night. i am not a meat connoisseur by any means, but I have had the pleasure of eating many quality steaks before. Believe me when i say that this is one of the best steaks I have ever had. Factor in the other courses of vegetables, cheese, chorizo, and pork, this was easily in the top 5 meals of my lifetime. Beyond the food, the restaurant and staff goes out of your way to make this experience as memorable as possible including making your own chimichurri sauce, picking your own steak knife. I also recommend the additional $20 wine pairing. All in all, please make time to visit Fogón during your trip to Argentina. read more

WOW! This was 3 hours of pure meat and smoke bliss. You have to get reservations and show up on time. They only have 1 dinner service each night. When we arrived they escorted our group to our places around the fire. Your group might be intermingled with another since all seats are in a circle around the parilla. This was described as a 8 course tasting menu with wine pairing but they surprised us with a few extra tastings. unlike other, more pretentious "tasting menus" I did NOT leave hungry from this one. Service started with a welcome gin cocktail that was bright, floral and citrusy. I can't remember all of the tasting options but they were hearty and meat centric. To name a few: Choripan, empanadas, pork loin, beef short rib, rib eye, beef ribs. I'm sure I'm missing a few, it was a worldwind of smoke, fire, meat and wine. We even got to make our own chimichurri! read more
