Fogón Where the Andes Meet the Yarra. Melbourne, meet the middle of the world. We are bringing the vibrant, undiscovered flavours of Ecuador to the city.

Forget what you know about Latin food—this is the land of the Ceviche and the Encebollado.

CHUCHAQUI: More than a word 🇪🇨

​Ever wondered where the word comes from? It’s rooted in the Kichwa word ‘Chaqui’, and in Ecuador, we’ve turned it into an art form. 😎

​But here’s the thing: a chuchaqui isn't just a headache; it’s a social event. It is often "cured" with a ceviche or an encebollado shared with the same friends who helped cause the condition in the first place. 🥣👯‍♂️

​It’s about turning the "regret" of last night into the flavor of today 🍻😋. At Fogón, we don’t judge the chuchaqui—we celebrate the recovery. 🙌🏼

Dios les pague! for this amazing start! 🙌❤️

In Ecuador, a simple gracias just doesn't cut it. I mean, you could... but it’s a bit too cold, ¿no? 🧊 Well, we like to keep things warm! 🔥

That’s why we say Dios le pague 😇(may God pay you back). It’s our way of showing that your kindness is so big, only the Big Guy upstairs can settle the tab.🙏
It means we’re so thankful that we’re asking the universe to pay you back on our behalf! ✨

That's how we share our culture 🇪🇨 and our heart—one plate 🍲 (and one blessing) at a time.

English? It's okay. It’s lovely for writing instructions and treaties.🧐 But let's be honest, it just can't compete with the pure, unadulterated poetry of a phrase like: "Jugueteame el arroz." 🤯Pure, culinary joy!
And what does this masterpiece of language mean? It roughly translates to the much cooler, much more demanding, and infinitely more delicious: "Juice my rice up!" 🤤💧

Seriously, "Jugueteame el arroz" is not just a request, it's a declaration! 📣 It's more than a tradition, folks; it's the LIFESTYLE that defines every blessed bite. It’s the foundational, must-do action that proves we take our cooking (and especially our eating) seriously! 💪

I mean, look, there is absolutely NO MEAL without rice. That’s just an Ecuadorian fact. 🙄 But here is the critical, life-altering moment: we cannot just eat sad, dry, plain-Jane rice. That's a culinary crime! 🚨🙅‍♀️
That's where the magic happens! ✨ You know that incredible, rich, glorious liquid from your favorite seco (stew)? The one that makes your eyes roll back in your head? 👀 The one that holds all the secrets of the universe? 🌌Well, adding a little splash, a little hug 🤗 of that powerful liquid to your rice is the only way to transform it from a humble grain into an absolute masterpiece! 👑

Taste Ecuador 🇪🇨 Your Weekend Comfort Food Fix Is Here! 🍲
We're bringing happiness on a plate.

​🌟 Our Featured Dishes:

🍗 Seco de Pollo
A hearty Ecuadorian chicken stew, slow-simmered with tender thighs, a foundational refrito, a splash of beer (for the chicken, obviously), and the tangy zest of naranjilla. Absolutely non-negotiable comfort food!

🥩 Seco de Carne
Rich Ecuadorian beef stew. Chunks of tender beef, slow-simmered with love (and maybe a little bit of our chef’s impatience) in a savory beef stock and our flavorful homemade refrito base.

🦐 Ceviche de Camarón
A refreshing, zesty ceviche featuring cooked prawns marinated in a vibrant, slightly sweet citrus broth with red onion, tomato, and coriander. We strongly suggest to have this with a beer (or after a night out)

🐟 Ceviche de Pescado
The ultimate beach food! Our chef’s (and millions of Ecuadorians) favorite. Simple, refreshing and delicious!
