About Dando la Brasa
Dando la Brasa sits at the heart of Miribilla's dining renaissance. The kitchen executes a disciplined European-Asian fusion: empanadas, duck magret, steak tartare, and chocolate volcán arrive with theatrical precision. Grilling is their signature—meat and fish emerge from the brasa perfectly charred and seasoned, the kind of cooking that makes diners close their eyes for a moment of silent agreement. The wine list earns consistent praise, with staff offering thoughtful recommendations that bridge the menu's cross-continental reach. Tasting menus start at €20 and scale to seven-course experiences; à la carte is equally rewarding. The room is intimate and compact, which amplifies the energy rather than constraining it—regulars return for the ceviche, the gelato de mate cocido, and the unscripted warmth of the service team. Wheelchair accessible, with outdoor seating, full bar, and strong vegan and vegetarian options. Reservations essential for lunch, dinner, and brunch.
Dando la Brasa is one of those places where the dessert menu is not an afterthought — a detail regulars tend to mention first.
In the last 90 days, Dando la Brasa has drawn 6 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — a measure of how actively its reviewers have been writing lately.
