Fogón Chef’s Counter: Fireside Dining Experience

Fogón’s Chef’s Counter is a closed-door dining experience designed to take you on a journey through Argentina, using products from the north to the south and from the land to the sea. The space is exclusive and intimate: you’re seated directly at the chef’s counter, with a front-row view of every stage of the cooking process over live fire. The chefs have created a 14-course tasting menu that blends modern grilling techniques with proven Argentine recipes to take asado to new heights. The progression moves from humita and seasonal vegetables through shrimp, Patagonian trout, sweetbread, lamb, braised ribs and a ribeye main, finishing with a mate granita, a dulce de leche pancake and a reinvented coffee. It’s a complete fireside dining experience combining tradition, technique, and Argentine hospitality.
