The story
At the border between Italy and France, Casa Fuego brings the spirit of the Argentinian asado to Menton. Chef Mauro Colagreco's restaurant is conceived as a convivial family canteen, where the wood-fired grill takes centre stage. The name translates to "Fire House," and the open flame is the heart of every meal.
The cooking style is pure Argentinian grill, or "asado" – a method that relies on slow, patient cooking over wood embers. The restaurant's central grill is both a tool and a spectacle, turning out classic dishes from the South American tradition. The cuisine is seasonal, with the menu gradually shifting to lighter, summer offerings as the weather warms.
Perched on the Boulevard de Garavan, Casa Fuego offers an outstanding view of the Mediterranean Sea and the old town of Menton. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, designed for sharing moments with family or friends. The restaurant's recognition by the Michelin guide as a Recommended restaurant speaks to the quality of the cooking and the sincerity of the experience.
Casa Fuego is a place for lunch and dinner, with outdoor seating, a bar, and space for private events. The team also offers catering and takeaway. The restaurant's approach is straightforward: good food, cooked over fire, in a setting that feels like a home away from home.
