My husband and I spent 4 nights in El Chaltén (12-16 May) and ate 5 meals at this restaurant. We loved it! The food is really good (I liked the lamb stew and lamb ravioli with tomato sauce) and the service is excellent. They also do a really nice hot chocolate and cappuccino. We went there for dinner on my... More

Small restaurant with good variety, very generous portions and extremely reasonable prices - but the main thing, great food! Other more pretentious (and expensive) restaurants in El Chaltén were not half as good.

Ate here twice during our 5-day stay in El Chalten. Food was very good typical Argentine fare. Had the lamb ravioli, which was excellent, and a traditional chicken milanesa napolitana, which was great by Argentine standards. The best part of this restaurant is the value - it's very good and very cheap. The service was not amazing - definitely an... More

It was crowded during lunch. Server didn't quite smile much but it was nice of her to split our lamb stew into 2 portions as we only ordered 1 main to share. It was great and filled with meat! Also had the beef empanada (tasty) and the 1 liter Quilmes beer here (yes, they hv the 1 liter portion of... More

Ate twice and food was great. Lentil stew very filling and lamb ravioli was awesome. Wine selection a little basic but great wine bar around the corner. Was always busy and service ok. Would recommend for a good hearty meal.

This is a place that encapsulates the friendliness and chilled atmosphere of El Chalten. The place is usually crammed after 20:00 as we found when we arrived for our 2nd visit after 21:00! But we were happy to wait for 30mins. The staff are great especially Frederico. The menu will satisfy all tastes but the meat stews are wonderful after... More

Just went in for a drink and some wifi. Had a quick empanada which was delicious and then got some free bread with dips and pizza topping. Very nice and helpful staff when I couldnt get the wifi to work. Other guest´s food looked equally good. Impressed with price and the fact they were not trying to rip us off.

Ate dinner here (our last night in El Chalten) - amazing steak and lamb stew. Enjoyed it so much that we ate here again for lunch the next day before leaving town. Would highly recommend.

The food was average, the service was average. We went here with higher expectations based on the ranking on tripadvisor, but we somehow missed what everybody said was so good about it.

We ate there twice with friends who insisted it was good. Fake cheese on the pizza, salad greens with black spots, a very fatty milanesa de pollo. The saving grace were the sorrentinos de trucha that I had, and that the portions are big for the price. Service is fast and friendly. El Chalten isn't a culinary wonder of a... More
