It's you with 40 friends and this place have only 35 places? No worries, the amazing waiters will sort it out! Almost every review I've read say the truth. Family-owned, friendly atmosphere, great waiters, outstanding quality-value relationship, huge -huuuuge- dishes, simple but hearty food, recommended by every taxi driver in the city... Don't miss it.

A favourite among the locals, this simple familiar eatery serves hearty dishes of italian influence at fair prices. Although simple (this is not an inovative place), the food is tasty and consistently executed. The "milanesas" (breaded steak) are clearly the highlights. But beware: the portions are huge! The place is always packed with families. So, get early or be ready... More

Good local spot with homemade food. While it feels a little cafeteria-esq to food is yummy and the value is great.

La Fonda del Tìo! Typical Argentinean meals, charming place. It was one of our cheapest dinners in Argentina, and by far, the best one... outstanding.

We found out about this place from our kayaking guides and it's great - we would have gone twice if we could. Cheap for Bariloche with a cheerful local atmosphere, and they serve big portions of delicious milanesa - see if you can eat an entire entrada size! Just make sure you get there before 8:30 or you'll be waiting... More

We arrived at 8.30, half an hour after it opened and we were in the nick I time. 5 minutes later it was packed and a queue was forming outside.  This is a genuine, Argentinian parilla. It's not touristy at all: from what we could see we were the only foreigners there, and it is off the main drag as... More

This is off the beaten track. When we were there we appeared to be the only non-locals. The portions were large, the food tasty, the service quick and friendly. We felt - for once! - that we were in a proper local restaurant.

Huge portions of local, but simple food. If you are a big eater (not especially a gourmet) then that is your place
