A place to come together.
A table to savour.
Patagonia,
at our table.
The road climbs through the trees. When you arrive, the world opens up beyond the glass: the lake, still and immense. This view is part of the journey.
Then comes the fire. A table, a six-course menu and time to enjoy it. Wood, light and landscape set the scene.
Among the trees
and the landscape.
A secluded setting in El Calafate where nature is part of the dining experience.
Facu and Ame.
Feel at home.
Facu cooks. Ame shares the story behind each cut and every glowing ember. The fire is lit with charcoal and a little lenga wood, the tree that gives this place its name.
An open kitchen and a personal welcome, as though you were visiting their own country home.
A place to feel at ease.
A fire of our own.
