Fire at 1-Atico

Dining at Fire is a focused expression of Argentina’s grilling culture. Set high above the city, the restaurant centres on the asado tradition, using modern techniques to sharpen what is essentially a primal form of cooking. The menu is built around the grill, with carefully chosen cuts and assertive seasoning guided by time-honoured methods. Fire is the defining element: meats are cooked over apple, oak and almond woods, giving them a layered, smoky depth. That same approach carries through to dishes such as the Chupín de Pescado, a sea bass and capsicum stew with real weight, and the empanada catamarqueña, filled with hand-cut beef and olives and lifted by a bright yasgua (tomato) sauce. Dessert keeps things classic with alfajores, or sandwich cookies with dulce de leche and coconut filling. With polished service and a confident, intimate room, Fire delivers a contemporary take on Argentine cooking without losing sight of its roots.
