After many years working as a tour leader wining and dining clients night after night, I have eaten my way through\u00a0the very best that Patagonia has to offer. Below are just a few of my recommendations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Santiago:\u00a0<\/b>Providencia<\/b><\/h2>\n

1. *Top Pick* :\u00a0<\/b>Liguria<\/span><\/strong><\/a>: Traditional Chilean cuisine, excellent quality and very buzzing – take your dictionary!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>(3 locations, my favourite is Av. Providencia 1373 – very near Manual Montt metro)<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"liguria<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Baco<\/span>:<\/strong> Fantastic wine selection, good for tapas type food and great steaks.\u00a0<\/span>(Nueva de Lyon 113)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

3. El Giratorio<\/a><\/span>:<\/a><\/strong> 17th floor rotating restaurant – incredible views of sunset over the city and the Andes. Food is traditional and tasty but also aspires to be fine-dining.\u00a0<\/span>(Av 11 de Septiembre 2250, Floor 16) \u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\"giratorio\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/b>Santiago: Bellavista<\/b><\/h3>\n

1. Como Agua Para Chocolate<\/a><\/span><\/strong>:<\/a> Delicious fish and meat dishes, great wine selection, wonderful decor and atmosphere. Staff generally speak very good English.\u00a0<\/span>(Constituci\u00f3n 88 – street parallel to Pio Nono, main street of Bellavista)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\"agua<\/a><\/p>\n

Santiago: Lastarria<\/b><\/h3>\n

1. Bocanariz:<\/a><\/span> <\/strong>Unrivalled selection of Chilean wines, this is THE place to come and experience the very best in Chilean wine – the food is delicious as well if you fancy staying for dinner.\u00a0A great addition to the quirky neighbourhood.<\/span> (Jos\u00e9 Victorino Lastarria 276 – next to church)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\"bocanariz\"<\/a><\/p>\n

–Here are some more ideas for\u00a0Things to do<\/a> and Places to Stay<\/a> in Santiago–<\/em><\/p>\n

Pucon<\/b><\/h3>\n

1. *Top Pick* :<\/b> <\/span>Rincon del Lago:<\/span> <\/strong>Not in the centre so off the tourist trail, this little family-run place serves really reasonable, traditional food; nothing fancy but good wholesome grub – great after a day out on the trails.\u00a0<\/span>(G. Urrutia 635)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

2. Trawen:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Long established place on the main street but still serving up delicious local dishes, top notch pisco sours and unmissable desserts.\u00a0(Av. O\u2019Higgins 311)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Puerto Varas<\/b><\/h3>\n

1. *Top Pick*\u00a0:\u00a0<\/a><\/b><\/span>Las Buenas Brasas:<\/span><\/strong><\/a> It\u2019s popular with tourists and for a very good reason – the food is delicious, the service spot on, the pisco sours are strong and the added extras of Sopaipilla y pebre<\/em>\u00a0(fritters with homemade salsa)\u00a0on arrival make this place a real gem.\u00a0<\/span>(San Pedro 543)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\"42\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Cafe Danes<\/span>:<\/strong> Great for lunch, kuchen <\/em>(cakes) and empanadas\u00a0<\/em>(savoury pasties)\u00a0– try the Empanada de horno<\/em>\u00a0but beware, the portions are huge!\u00a0(Del Salvador 441)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Casa Valdes<\/span><\/strong><\/span> – housed in a lovely wooden cabin with great views across the Llanquihue Lake to the <\/span>Osorno and Calbuco Volcanoes, this local restaurant is serving up the very best in local fish and seafood. The atmosphere is buzzing but not too noisy but best to ask your hotel reception to book a table. (Santa Rosa 040 – Underneath the Cabanas del Lago Hotel)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0La Jardineria:\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>-a little way out of town, one block back from the lake front road, this is a small, intimate restaurant, housed in a restored traditional house, very popular with locals, run by a well travelled, local couple. (Blanco Encalada 1160, \u00a0Puerto Chico)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0La Marca<\/a><\/strong> – best in town for a juicy steak (Calle Santa Rosa #539)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Mercado 605<\/a><\/strong> – set in a beautifully restored wooden house this cafe by day \/ restaurant by night offers a wide variety of ‘pisco sours’ for example, sours including green chilli or honey or even avocado. The food is delicious too! (Imperial #605) <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Punta Arenas<\/b><\/h3>\n

1. *Top Pick* :<\/span>\u00a0<\/b>Restaurante Brocolino<\/span>:<\/strong> From its exterior it looks like nothing special, but trust me, inside you\u2019ll be greeted with mouth-watering aromas of king crab in white wine, Patagonian lamb, and sinful desserts. For me what really makes this restaurant special is Hector the chef, a true Patagonian character!\u00a0<\/span>(O’ Higgins\u00a0#<\/em>1049<\/i><\/span>)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

2. Toques de la Patagonia: <\/strong>With a stunning view of the city, serving up creative dishes using organic and locally grown vegetables and herbs. (Almirante Manuel Senoret #<\/em>1041)<\/em><\/p>\n

Here are some more ideas for Things to do<\/a> and Places to Stay<\/a> in Punta Arenas<\/em><\/p>\n

Puerto Natales<\/b><\/h3>\n

1. *Top Pick<\/b>* :<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Cormoran de las Rocas<\/strong><\/a><\/span>:<\/strong> With fresh fish and delicious meats even including guanaco on the menu, this restaurant is a great bonus for Puerto Natales. Set up on the first floor of the building, what really makes this place\u00a0special are the incredible views over the Last Hope Sound.\u00a0(Miguel Sanchez 72)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"cormoran2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are some more ideas for Places to Stay<\/a> in Puerto Natales<\/p>\n

Sally’s Top Restaurants in Argentina<\/b><\/h1>\n

Buenos Aires: Microcentro<\/b><\/h3>\n

You could spend a lifetime in Buenos Aires and still not have explored all of its wonderful, quirky, unique gastronomic offerings; here is just a brief list of some of my favourites.<\/p>\n

1. *Top Pick* :\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>El Establo<\/span><\/strong> – My all time favourite restaurant in Buenos Aires is El Establo. \u00a0It is old school, bright lights, white table cloths, old waiters that don’t write anything down and popular with tourists. Hands down it offers the best steak in BA. Open parrilla\u00a0<\/em>(grill), ham hanging from the ceiling and homemade chimichurri<\/em> (typical Argentine condiment to accompany meat dishes made of parsley, garlic and olive oil). Order the \u00bd Bife de lomo, jugoso<\/em> (rare fillet steak) – it simply melts in your mouth.\u00a0<\/span>(Paraguay on the corner of San Martin in Retiro)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Buenos Aires: San Telmo<\/b><\/h3>\n

1. Gran Parrilla del Plata<\/a>:<\/span> <\/strong>Excellent quality steak, reasonably priced, great service, great decor.\u00a0<\/span>(Chile 594 – on the corner with Peru)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\"gran<\/a><\/p>\n

2. La Brigada<\/a>:<\/span><\/strong> Quite pricey but a real meat experience!\u00a0(Estados Unidos 465)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\"la<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Cafe La Poesia<\/a>:<\/span> <\/strong>Atmospheric cafe in the heart of San Telmo; translating as \u2018Poetry Cafe\u2019, it is a literary institution with photos of famous Argentine authors, prose around the walls and plaques on some of the tables where famous authors have sat. Great for coffee, snacks, drinks and picadas<\/em> (shared platters). One of the protected \u2018Cafe Notables\u2019 of Buenos Aires.\u00a0<\/span>(Chile 502 on the corner of Bolivar)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\"la<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Bar El Federal<\/a><\/span>:<\/strong> Another great \u2018Cafe Notable\u2019 of San Telmo with its incredible wooden decor, pavement tables and ecelctic mix of students, backpackers, artists and old timers reading the daily news. Order a coffee\/beer and watch the world go by.\u00a0(Peru on the corner of Carlos Calvo)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\"el<\/a><\/p>\n

Buenos Aires: Palermo<\/b><\/h3>\n

1.\u00a0*Top Pick*:\u00a0<\/b><\/span>Don Julio<\/a><\/strong>: Excellent steak, great service and a wonderful wine list. Definitely my *Top Pick* in Palermo. (Guatemala 4691 on the corner of Gurruchaga)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0La Cabrera<\/a>:<\/span><\/strong> Popular with tourists and locals alike, this restaurant, located on 2 different corners of the same street, serves up enormous steaks that are strictly encouraged to share accompanied with a delicious selection of side dishes. Excellent service, great atmosphere and as they don\u2019t take reservations they offer you champagne while you wait for your table.\u00a0<\/span>(Jos\u00e9 Antonio Cabrera 5099 on the corner of Thames)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\"la<\/a><\/p>\n

3. El Preferido de Palermo<\/a>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>Another \u2018Cafe Notable\u2019; this is a great place to stop for a drink just to have a look inside. The food is traditional and offers some real Argentine treats.\u00a0(Jorge Luis Borges 2108 on the corner of Guatemala)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

–Here are some more ideas for Things to do <\/a>and Places to Stay<\/a> in Buenos Aires–<\/em><\/p>\n

Bariloche<\/b><\/h3>\n

1. *Top Pick* :\u00a0<\/span> <\/b>Alto el Fuego:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Excellent quality meat, unusual wines and good value.\u00a0<\/span>(20 de Febrero 451)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

2. Holly Restobar:<\/span><\/strong> A good option is you\u2019re looking for something other than steak; the ribs are excellent. Also has fabulous views out across the lake.\u00a0(Avenida Juan M. de Rosas 435)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

–Here are some more ideas on Places to Stay<\/a> in Bariloche–<\/p>\n

El Calafate<\/b><\/h3>\n

1. *Top Pick* :\u00a0<\/b> La Tablita<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0A visit to El Calafate isn\u2019t complete without trying the slow cooked Patagonian lamb and after many years of trying out many places this has come top time after time. A word of warning:\u00a0order 1 between 2 (even though it isn\u2019t a dish for 2, the portion is enormous!) ; also, don\u2019t miss the Calafate ice-cream.\u00a0<\/span>(Rosales 28 – cross over the bridge past the petrol station and it is down on your left hand side)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\"la<\/a><\/p>\n

2. La Zaina:<\/span><\/strong> Set in a restored old building with an eclectic mix of memorabilia, this place serves a great selection of Patagonian meats (great pasta as well), warm home-made bread and an interesting wine selection. Service can sometimes be slow but then, what\u2019s the hurry?!\u00a0<\/span>( Gdor. Gregores 1057 – on the corner of Tomas Espora)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

–Here are some more ideas for Places to Stay <\/a>in El Calafate–<\/p>\n

El Chalten<\/b><\/h3>\n

1. *Top Pick*\u00a0:\u00a0<\/b><\/span>La Tapera:<\/span><\/strong> <\/b>Delicious hearty stews, cosy, warm atmosphere and great views of Fitz Roy from upstairs.\u00a0<\/span>(Antonio Rojo & Riquelme – next to the Walk Patagonia office)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

2. Cerveceria<\/span><\/strong> –<\/b>The Micro Brewery! A visit to El Chalten isn\u2019t complete without a visit to the micro-brewery. They brew 2 different beers, 1 pale (rubia) and 1 dark (negro) and serve with bowls of popcorn (they also serve bottled beers and wine). Great atmosphere, cosy, with a garden to laze in sun after a hard days walking. Open late into the evening.\u00a0(Av. San Martin 564)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

3. La Vineria<\/a><\/span> <\/strong>– \u201cThe best wine bar in South Patagonia\u201d – this quote taken from their website is quite a claim but almost definitely true. It has an incredible selection of Argentine wines (and artisanal beers), great picadas<\/em> (shared platters) of meats, cheeses and tapas Argentine style. Sebastian the owner is extremely knowledgeable. (Lago Del Desierto Ave, 265 – next to the Chalten travel office)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\"vineria\"<\/a><\/p>\n

–Here are some more ideas for Places to Stay <\/a>in El Chalten–<\/p>\n

4. La Wafeleria:<\/span> <\/strong>– A well-deserved stop after a long hike or great place to settle in for the day if the weather closes in.\u00a0(Av. San Martin 640)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

One of Swoop’s other Patagonia specialists, Harriet, has also reviewed the restaurants in El Chalten. For an even more detailed insight into what delicacies the town has on offer, read Harriet’s post “Places to eat in El Chalten”<\/a><\/p>\n

Ushuaia<\/b><\/h3>\n

1. *Top Pick* :<\/span> \u00a0<\/b>La Casa de los Mariscos:<\/span> <\/strong>– It\u2019s an easy place to walk past without noticing, it looks quite shabby from the outside, there is no king crab tank in the window and the doorway is very small. But once inside it is buzzing, cosy and wafts delicious aromas. Try the Centolla Fugeian<\/em> (king crab in chilli sauce), Centolla Provincal<\/em>\u00a0(king crab in parsley and white wine sauce) or Centolla Natural<\/em>\u00a0(king crab salad).\u00a0(San Martin, 232 – corner with Deloqui)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

2. El Almacen de Ramos General<\/span>:<\/strong> No stay in Ushuaia is complete without a stop at this wonderful little gem! It\u2019s a bit of everything from museum to cafe to restaurant to bar. With an eclectic mix of memorabilia, chocolate coated meringue penguins, Cape Horn beer and homemade pasta.\u00a0(Av. Maipu 749)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Other restaurants outside of Patagonia that Sally just can\u2019t help recommending!<\/b><\/h1>\n

Mendoza<\/b><\/h3>\n

*Top Pick*<\/span>\u00a0:\u00a0<\/b>Ocho Cepas<\/strong>:<\/span> Set in a beautifully restored old colonial house, the restaurant is split between the different rooms of the house, with its very own wine cellar. The steak is great, the menu interesting and the atmosphere intimate.\u00a0<\/span>(Peru 1192 – on the corner of Espejo)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Puerto Iguazu<\/b><\/h3>\n

1. *Top Pick* :\u00a0<\/b> <\/b><\/span>El Quicho del Tio Querido<\/a>:<\/span><\/strong> If you aren\u2019t enticed in by the delicious smell of cooking meat from it\u2019s enormous open air grill then you will be by the fascinating live music (played after about 9:30pm); the steaks are incredible, the service great and the atmosphere relaxing.\u00a0<\/span>(Av. Pres. Juan Domingo Per\u00f3n 159)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\"eltiquoerdo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Aqva<\/a>:<\/span><\/strong> A little on the pricey side but serving up local river fish in delicious sauces – a definite top pick if you\u2019re a bit meated out\u00a0(Av. Cordoba on the corner of Carlos Thays)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\"aqva\"<\/a><\/p>\n
