About Fuego by the Sea

Tucked along the West Beach waterfront, this coastal retreat swaps conventional seaside pub fare for traditional charcoal-grilled meats and open ocean horizons. Grab a table on the sheltered balcony as the sun sinks over the bay—a peaceful vantage with boats drifting past and salty sea breezes. Regulars point newcomers straight toward the wood-fired grill: sizzling mixed platters seasoned with bright chimichurri, tender steaks cooked exactly to order, and blistered provoletera cheese to start. Seafood linguine and generous shared platters keep long family tables satisfied, paired with cold caipirinhas while twilight settles across the Gulf.

  • Argentinian Charcoal Grills: Tender steaks, surf & turf, and generous mixed platters come off traditional wood and charcoal embers alongside chimichurri.
  • Waterfront Balcony Views: An open-air, sheltered deck catches quiet coastal views of drifting boats and unobstructed evening sunsets.
  • Strict Dietary & Coeliac Care: The kitchen accommodates diners with severe dietary restrictions, offering dedicated gluten-free platters and allergen care.

  • Authentic Charcoal-Grilled Latin Steaks

    Meats are prepared over a traditional charcoal grill to deliver distinct, authentic Latin flavours that stand apart from standard grill cooking.

    The highlight here is the meat, prepared on a traditional charcoal grill, bringing out an authentic flavor that even surpasses my experiences in Argentina.

  • Generous Mixed Grills & House Chimichurri

    Hearty shared platters, surf and turf, and seasoned mixed grills are served alongside authentic house chimichurri.

    The surf & turf was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, and the mixed grill was beautifully seasoned and incredibly tasty. The chimichurri was outstanding and paired perfectly with everything.
