Experience contemporary Argentinian cuisine from South America’s most celebrated chef. Born from a passion for the ancient art of South American live-fire cooking, Argentine grillmaster Francis Mallmann creates a contemporary asado experience with an open-fire kitchen, local ingredients, and a gaucho’s touch to transform traditional rustic recipes into sophisticated, savory dishes. Mallman’s custom-designed fire kitchen allows the renowned chef to fuse his many fire-cooking techniques and is the first of its kind in an urban environment. Wood oven menu favorites like Potato Gnocchi and Chilean Sea Bass effortlessly blend smokey flavor with palate-pleasing ingredients like winter black truffle or lemon aïoli. From the grill come savory meats including a Wagyu NY Strip Steak and Lamb Rack with roasted eggplant and crispy pistachio crumble. One thing’s for certain: a visit to Los Fuegos guarantees flavor, quality, and a notable influence of an Argentine culture that creates a food experience like no other.
