República del Fuego

The Best Steakhouses in Buenos Aires

"With a youthful vibe and a Bib Gourmand for value, this grill led by Executive Chef Patricio Pescio delivers quality chargrilled meats with thoughtful sides: I loved sausages with aromatic chimichurri and Provoleta paired with smoked red pepper jam, while sweetbreads arrive with cabutia purée, passion fruit, and peanut praline and the cauliflower cream is enriched with crispy chorizo crumbs. The grill highlights include the Flag Rib—sliced thin and flash-cooked over high flames—and the popular Skirt Steak with Creole sauce; they also offer a thick Vacío braised then finished on the grill, and sides like Smoked Butter Mashed Potatoes with garlic and rosemary or a fresh salad with avocado, onion, fennel, and orange. Save room for the mixed flan with bufalo dulce de leche and whipped cream." - The MICHELIN Guide

"If you’re an inveterate meat-eater, you’ll want to head to the República de Fuego, a restaurant with a young and informal vibe occupying an old restored house in the city’s Recoleta district. In this setting, which has retained the homely feel of the original building and which has preserved several “vintage” features such as the original and delightful flooring, everything revolves around the traditional Argentinian grill. Dishes have a contemporary twist in their presentation and are always based around premium cuts of meat that chef Patricio Pessio prepares with the greatest of care. Highlights on the menu include “knife-cut” meat empanadas, stracciatella with grilled edamame, a delicious skirt steak with a Creole sauce, ribeye with a fresh herb butter, and grilled pears with a mascarpone mousse and crumble – all presented with impeccable service and with the option of an impressive choice of cocktails." - Michelin Inspector
