Los Fuegos

Celebrity chef Francis Mallmann chose Miami’s Baz Luhrmann–designed Faena Hotel for his first restaurant in the United States, a fitting pick considering his tendency for the eccentric. The Argentine, who owns some of the world’s best restaurants (Garzón and Patagonia Sur, to name a few), is famous for his asado (outdoor barbeque) cooking. Los Fuegos serves open-fire Argentine specialties including succulent beef empanadas, grilled octopus and wagyu steak with domino potatoes, alongside grilled vegetables and excellent craft cocktails and wines. Seating options include the buzzy, glamorous, over-the-top dining room and a more casual, covered outdoor patio. The adjacent bar, The Living Room, can become quite lively in the evenings, feels old Hollywood meets Miami, with leopard print banquets and touches of red spread throughout.
