República del Fuego

01What to order

• Entraña con salsa criollaSkirt steak with the onion, pepper and tomato relish; Michelin, Perfil and Time Out all name it.
• Vacío fino con sal de marThin flank with sea salt, on Perfil's and Time Out's lists.
• Bife de chorizo, 400 g / 14 ozServed with salsa criolla, per Time Out in October 2026.
• Asado or vacío, 800 g / 28 ozThe two cuts for sharing that a 2024 Buenos Aires guide names; order one for the middle of the table.
• Tapa de asado braseada con risotto cítricoBraised rib cap with citrus risotto, the dish chef Gabriel Pérez calls his signature.
• Empanadas de carne, croquetas de chorizo y morcilla, mollejasKnife-cut beef empanadas, sausage and blood-sausage croquettes, and marinated grilled sweetbreads to start.
• Peras a la parrilla con mousse de mascarponeGrilled pears, a dessert that also comes off the embers.

02The beef

The sources speak of premium cuts and of a menu that changes often, but none publishes the breed, the feeding, the estancia or any aging, so Steakpedia leaves those out. What you can count on is the parrilla's classic range, entraña, vacío fino, bife de chorizo and asado, with offal and house croquettes alongside; sides for the grilled meat come separately, Michelin notes.

03The fire

Everything is cooked over embers, Perfil reports, and the embers reach the pastry section too, which is how the grilled pears happen. No source names the wood or charcoal.

04The story

Chef Gabriel Pérez trained at CECSA, the Centro de Estudios Culinarios San Antonio, and a partner named Juan speaks for the house. The kitchen runs a series called Fuego Compartido with guest chefs: on Sept. 22, 2025, it served a seven-course seafood menu with Matías Kreiman, at ARS 85,000 per person over three sittings. The Michelin Guide included the restaurant in its first Buenos Aires edition, in 2024, and 2026 is its third year in the guide.

05The practical

Juncal 2682, Recoleta, on the residential stretch toward Palermo. Evenings carry the full menu, and on Sunday lunchtime the house switches to a family-style format, Perfil says. Michelin lists it at $$ and says the restaurant takes its own reservations; Steakpedia found no published hours or menu prices, so book ahead and ask when you call.
