Marmita's is special -- both in its whimsical design and its high quality, fresh, interesting food.
Highly recommend the ceviche and any of the fish dishes
Great service and an affordable wine menu.
Consider making reservations as this is a very popular place.
And, bring cash! No card accepted.

I think most food loving world travelers would agree that Brazil, Argentina and Chile are not sought after destinations. With the exception of beef, some lamb, wine and ice cream, the fare is pretty tasteless and uncommonly bland for those seeking sublime raw materials and intelligent combinations. On top of that, the service in most restaurants is uncommonly slow and clueless. However, La Marmite's service is quick and pleasant and the pisco sours are memorable. It's a fun place to be in, quirky and busy. The food? We only had four different main dishes but, oh dear, so bland. The smoked mussel and vegetable soup was, being generous, pretty tasteless, the beef was sapped of any flavor but the mushroom risotto did taste mushroom-like, The lamb stew with vegetables was memorable inasmuch that we all had a sample taste and only 2 of 6 of us guessed it was lamb. Competent postres and not-outrageous pricing. So, being generous, 4/5, the service and ambiance raising it from average to good. And it's better than most of the other recommended restaurants in town.

Recommended by our hotel, La Marmita was so good my daughter and I ate there three out of the four nights we were in Punta Arenas. The menu has the usual Patagonian fare of fish and lamb, along with a number of vegetarian options. The decor and vibe are funky-cool and the staff cannot do enough to make you feel welcome. We loved this place.

This is an excellent small restaurant, recommend to make a reservation as it is small and gets busy. The food is made from local sourced ingredients, there is plenty of choices on the menu. We had a starter to share and a seafood main to share and a dessert to share and everything was excellent.

We absolutely loved this place. The menu was interesting and exciting and all of the food that we sampled was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. The setting is lovely and we particularly liked the quirky decoration. The pricing is extremely reasonable given how good the food is.

Our family of four recently had a leisurely lunch at La Marmita. We had some trouble finding the location, but are so glad that we did! Everything was delicious, used local and seasonally-available ingredients, and was beautifully presented. Charming and unique dining rooms filled with local handicrafts and items used in daily life, in former times. Very helpful and friendly waitresses. Wish we can visit again sometime!

Professional, honest and knowledgeable Mr Lautaro greeted us at the door and gave full explanation of the entire menu. We had the roasted beef rib with mushroom risotto and the lamb of the Magellanic Pamper with Chilean countryside flavours. No other words for the lunch - an absolute taste sensation. Service brilliant, ambience remarkable, and cost reasonable. Make sure you visit here if you want a great meal in Punta Arenas!

We stumbled upon La Marmita when walking around Punta Arenas. Once we took a quick look at the menu - we were sold and reserved a table for that evening.
There’s a relatively small but interesting menu with things like Hare, slow cooked beef and Guanaco.
I had a King crab starter and my partner had Guanaco Carpaccio and then main course had Slow cooked beef and Hare. Everything was really delicious.
There is a good value wine list and really nice friendly service - we had a super evening and would highly recommend this place.

Came because of the reviews.. and I’m vegan and they have vegan dishes. Out of the three of us dining one had the five hour lamb, he thought it was great. The next had the Hake dinner and he thought that while it was super tender it didn’t have much flavor. I had the bean soup/ chili that they have for vegans. It was very filling and had good stuff in it but once again not a lot of flavor. We split a bottle of wine between the three of us and that was good. I was just happy they had some vegan dishes!

We went here based on the recommendation of a friend on our tour who was here the prior week. My friends and I spent 3 hours savoring some incredible Chilean specialties, including pisco albahaca (basil sour), pisco sour, guanaco bourguignon, pan con salsa de calabaza o mayonesa, cochayuyo charquican (roasted veggies), plus every dessert on the menu: helados de la casa (calafate & violet and rhubarb ice cream), final feliz (aka happy ending 😬), clafoutis rhubarb crumble with foamy calafate and English cream with mate, trilogía chilena (Chilean trilogy of stewed peaches, puff pastry, raspberry ice cream, y tres leche cake con café turko. The servers were wonderful, and the decorations and knick knacks around the restaurant were delightful. I want to come back just to sample the rest of the food on the menu!

We went here because of other recommendations. It was definitely worth it! We had the crab as entree, vegetarian ravioli, roast beef, the lamb and the lama stew. For drinks we had the house juice (apple juice with cinnamon) and rubarb juice and a Pisco sour with basil. All was very excellent and we would definitely recommend it! The service was friendly and perfect!

Tucked away in a very unassuming part of town, this was a great find and we were delighted to have made an effort to come here for dinner on our first night in Punta Arenas. The ambience is lively and colourful, and staff were extremely welcoming and friendly throughout.
We enjoyed delicious local fish for our main course and then had pudding to follow, all accompanied by excellent Chilean wine. The presentation of the food was beautiful and the quality second to none.

Our concierge at Hotel Ilaia suggested this restaurant and we are glad we followed her advice. The restaurant has a lovely ambience and the service is friendly and very attentive. We were there after lunch and before dinner so things were rather quiet. The food was extremely delicious with a colorful presentation. We had king crab with zucchini, merluzza australis with legumes and an amazingly moist cake with dulce de leche! It was one of the best meals we had during our 3 weeks trip in Chile. Just remember – the restaurant takes only cash. Highly recommended.

This place was on point. We went for lunch on a Saturday in early April and it was empty. Service was fast. Everything was good - ceviche was a winner and we liked the homemade pasta too. The inside was nice.

Colourful, delicious food.
We had supper at this fun, hipster and gay friendly restaurant which was a real treat in Punta Arenas.
The food was very nicely cooked, prepared and presented.
The service was nice and attentive, with a nicely diverse team.
We will be back.
Note, this is a cash only restaurant, no cards accepted.
