Choosing a seating
Lunch or dinner at Fogón Asado? How to choose your seating
Same menu, same fire, two very different rhythms. How the lunch and dinner seatings compare, and which fits your Buenos Aires days.

Fogón serves the same nine-course tasting at lunch and dinner, so there's no better or lesser version — the choice is about your day. Lunch and dinner each start at a fixed time shown in your booking, and each takes two to three hours with everyone seated together. Whichever you pick, arrive on time: everyone starts together.
The case for lunch
The lunch seating suits visitors who'd rather keep evenings free for Buenos Aires's famously late dinners, tango or bars. Nine courses at midday is a substantial meal, so plan a light breakfast and a slow afternoon — Palermo's parks and shops are close by, and a walk through the Bosques de Palermo afterwards is the natural next step.
The case for dinner
The dinner seating is the atmospheric one: the room around the fire feels most like the theatre it's designed to be after dark, and the evening start leaves the neighbourhood's bars still ahead of you. Book it as soon as your dates are set.
Fitting it around the rest of Buenos Aires
Because the tasting is a full two-hour sitting and a big meal, it works best as the anchor of a day rather than one stop among many. A lunch seating pairs with an afternoon in Palermo's parks or an evening tango show elsewhere; a dinner seating pairs with a daytime visit to Recoleta or San Telmo and a lighter lunch. Avoid booking a second big meal or an early-morning departure straight after.
Booking and changing your mind
GetYourGuide will hold either seating for you and let you cancel at no cost up until 24 hours beforehand, and most dates don't charge until closer to the visit. Undecided between lunch and dinner? Reserve whichever you'd rather have — dinner if it's tight — the moment your dates firm up, then swap later if things change; once you're within 24 hours, though, the booking sticks.
