Est. 2024

No gas. No shortcuts. Just wood, iron, salt — and the patience of an asador who learned it in Buenos Aires.

01

Cuts a la leña

Grass-fed beef, dry-aged in house for 30 to 45 days, cooked only over wood embers.

02

Wines of Mendoza

Over 120 labels from Luján de Cuyo, Valle de Uco and beyond — many poured by the glass.

03

The fire counter

Fourteen stools facing the grill. Watch every cut go on, turn and rest.

The Menu

How we cook

El fuego

The grill is lit at ten every morning and never touched by gas. Our asador builds the fire in one corner, then rakes the embers under the iron as each cut needs them — more heat for a crust, less for a long, slow render.

The wood

Quebracho and holm oak, burned down for two hours until only glowing embers remain.

The iron

Embers raked under a V-grooved grill that channels fat away from the flame. No flare-ups, no soot.

Each order

The cut

Salt only — coarse, just before it hits the iron. Turned once. Never pressed.

Before serving

The rest

Every piece rests on warm wood for as long as it cooked, so the juices stay in the meat.

The bar

A seat facing the fire, a glass of Mendoza.

Fourteen stools along the grill, kept for walk-ins every night. Order a cut, a glass, and watch it cook. Our sommelier pours a rotating list straight from the Andes.
