Overview
- Fogón Asado in Palermo Soho, Buenos Aires, was named the world’s best restaurant in Tripadvisor’s Travellers' Choice Best of the Best 2026, defending the title it first won last year after reviews compiled between July 2025 and June 2026.
- The restaurant offers an open‑fire, counter‑seating experience with two set tasting menus, requires reservations, lists prices around 130,000 and 220,000 Argentine pesos for nine‑ and 14‑course options, and holds about a 4.9/5 rating from more than 4,200 Tripadvisor reviews.
- Tripadvisor published a global top ten that spans Latin America, Asia and Europe, with only two European entries, signaling stronger representation of Latin American and Asian fine‑dining on this year’s list.
- The Best of the Best award is consumer driven: Tripadvisor aggregates millions of guest ratings to identify roughly the top 1% of entries from its pool of about eight million restaurants and food experiences.
- The repeat top ranking is likely to boost demand and booking lead times for Fogón Asado and raise tourism interest in Buenos Aires’ open‑fire grilling scene, which could increase prices and reservation barriers for local diners and international visitors alike.
