On Harriet\u2019s recent trip to\u00a0El Chalten<\/a> she was on a mission to sample as many restaurants as she could. Here she takes you through the various options.<\/p>\n

Techado Negro
\n<\/strong>
\n\"DSC_0682\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This slightly tumble down\u00a0restaurant with its brightly coloured walls prepares wonderful, wholesome, home-cooked food. If you are looking for a taste of home then head here for homemade pasta, fish, milanesas<\/em>\u00a0(a thin slice of meat covered in breadcrumbs and fried) or salads.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0043\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Look out for their excellent value menu del dia<\/em> (menu of the day) with generous portions. There is also a great amount of choice for vegetarians .<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0685\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hosteria Senderos<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"4443076_21_z\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking\u00a0to\u00a0splurge a bit, then head to Hosteria Senderos. For a mouth watering steak try the Bife de Chorizo<\/em>; the trout and local lamb are also good.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0033_1\"
\n<\/a><\/strong>
\nThe chef really knows how to work local ingredients into delicious treats and the waiter will tempt you with a a wide selection of Argentine wines.<\/a><\/p>\n

Cervecer\u00eda Artesanal El Chalt\u00e9n<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0661\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This tiny little beer house is so snug and cosy that you may find it hard to get a seat and could end up sharing a table with others. Come early or persevere,\u00a0either way\u00a0you will be given a choice of delicious pizzas and pasta to accompany your home brew. The rustic wooden d\u00e9cor lends the bar a congenial atmosphere which is ideal for apr\u00e8s-trek drinks.<\/span><\/p>\n

La Tapera<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

A rustic wooden eatery with seating around a fire pit. The tapas are yummy and the rest of the Argentine fare is hearty. Try stews, steaks or nibbles, all washed down with Argentine wine.<\/p>\n

Wafleria<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0662\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A map shop that serves waffles is a dream come true for me. I sat planning my trekking routes with chocolate pouring down my chin. The gregarious waiters make this a great place for a savoury or sweet waffle whilst you wait for Fitzroy <\/a>to appear from behind the clouds.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0665\"
\n<\/a>
\nExpect to feel guilty and gluttonous afterwards!<\/p>\n

Panaderia Que Rica<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Empanadas3\"
\n<\/a>
\nBefore you head into the hills or onto the bus to Calafate, it is worth stocking your backpack with sandwiches, empanadas<\/em> (savoury pasties), facturas<\/em> (sweet pastries such as croissants) and\u00a0alfajores<\/em> (shortbread and\u00a0caramel sandwich) from this heavenly bakery.<\/p>\n

\"Facturas\"<\/p>\n

Get there early before stocks sell out.<\/p>\n

Self Catering in El Chalten<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

If you plan to self cater, unfortunately El Chalten is not very well served. The small supermarkets of La Tostadora Moderna<\/strong> on Avenida San Martin, El Gringuito<\/strong> on Cerro Solo or El Super<\/strong> on Avenida Lago del Desierto have a few offerings but try to shop in Calafate before you jump on the bus. For elusive vegetables and fruit head to the Verduleria<\/strong> on Cabo Garcia.<\/p>\n

Other places that looked good:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"La<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

La Estepa<\/strong>
\nA good slightly more upmarket establishment with good food and excellent wines.<\/p>\n

\"patagonicus\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Resto Patagonicus<\/strong>
\nCovered with nostalgic photos of climbers and pictures of El Chalten in years gone by. Tuck into Argentine style pizzas, pastas and of course meat.<\/p>\n
