Restaurant & Emporio Okusa

Reviewed By GlobGoing

Tried the ribeye and rice. It was a bit less cooked that what I ordered, but tasted great. Ordered a small risotto as side and a bottle of wine. Wine was 50% pricier than the supermarket, which was a great deal ! The service was excellent, very patient with all questions from our table. There are many choices of steaks. We arrived early and didn’t have a reservation, when we left there was a lot of people waiting.It was the best restaurante I have been in Punta Arenas.

Chef Kul

Reviewed By gernita24

We heard about this place from people on our Antarctica tour and we are really glad they told us about it.The cafe is small and quirky, a feast for the eyes! The more you look, the more you see. The menu is very simple, a small selection of sandwiches and drinks but they are great sandwiches! They are also huge, I only just about finished mine. They come on slightly toasted baguettes and are generously filled. Joined to the cafe is a little shop that sells all kinds of bits and pieces that would make good gifts. The staff were friendly and it was lovely and warm on a cold, windy day.

It’s a tiny menu with a few dishes but they do them really well ! I’ve been travelling across South America and had some amazing ceviche and this one was as good if not better than most !!We also had the shellfish soup (the only soup they have on the menu) which was great as well.Paid 10000 pesos for the meal, would definitely go again!

Damiana Elena

Reviewed By Nzattitude

We went to Damiana Elena last night on the recommendation of a friend from PA and the great reviews on TripAdvisor. Unfortunately we had a very disappointing experience- which seemed to be mostly the management and service, although the food was not as good as we expected. The first clue was booking. I had booked via Facebook, but not received a response. So as soon as we arrived in PA and they opened last night, I telephoned. They only speak Spanish but fortunately mine was good enough. The woman who took my call said they do not check email or Facebook messages as they are far to busy for that. So I made a reservation for 9pm last night. We arrived on time to find the restaurant in a charming Victorian era house, in a residential area just out of the CBD. The ambience is very nice. The restaurant was about half full. The Maitre D explained that they do not have a written menu as it changes every day, that the waitress would be over soon to go through the menu of the day. Cool idea, but they would have been better with a blackboard menu or printing it out every day because it was complex with at least 8 starters and 14 mains (as far as we could tell). Too many to easily recall without the waitress having to go over it. Not just for us, but for the other tables too. But she was very patient. We ordered drinks: Calafate Sour and a Pear juice. - both delicious. For starters, we ordered the Huanaco Jamón (more like a jerky) and the Smoked salmón. Both good but simple dishes which surprisingly took over an hour to arrive (so now 10:20 pm). That’s too long for such simple dishes. During this period no-one came back to us to ask if we wanted a drink or to tell us about the delay. But we were entertained as we watched with interest the wait staff ( about 4 for approx 20 diners at say 8 tables so should be enough) racing around without apparent co-ordination or a system. I eventually attracted a waiters attention to order a glass of wine. For mains, I had a traditional pork dish and she had a second starter (fortunately not hungry) of prawns al pil pil. Both good but not outstanding- which was a pity. The pork was smoked which was interesting- but as a result a bit dry. The advertised sweet potato mash mysteriously became billed potatoes, the apple and cabbage sourkraut was average. But the portions are enormous! Not just ours but the other tables too. We were aware the pasta is the house specialty but had decided to try something more traditional. Perhaps we should have had the pasta. We also overheard several tables also grumbling about the slow service, or food not quite up to par. So it was not just us. Then we went to leave. By now it’s well after 11pm. We asked the waiter to order a taxi, he was very unhelpful - saying that will take at least half an hour. He suggested we go out and wait in the street. After waiting for a while we decided to walk back to the hotel, which was about a mile away. Fortunately we both had comfortable shoes on. So overall a 4 for ambience, a 3 for the food and 1 for the service so I am giving them a 2 which is the lowest TripAdviser score I have given in a long while. That’s a pity, because I do think it has the potential to be an excellent restaurant, but it needs a little less pretentiousness and a little more thought about the guest experience. Simplification of the menu and speedier service would be a start.

We had only one day in port on our South American Cruise, but were hoping to get some Crab. La Marmita unfortunately did not have the crab however we were not disappointed. We shared a wonderful Ceviche starter then I had a delicious salmon dish with vegetables and my husband had a lamb stew.together with a glass of Savignon Blanc each..The Restaurant was full downstairs but we almost had the upper floor to ourselves,the decor is very bright and fun and the staff friendly and efficient. Only drawback is cash only , so be prepared !!

This was probably our favorite restaurant during our three week trip in Chile. The view is magnificent - you gaze across the Strait of Magellan to Tierra del Fuego. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The drinks are very original and delicious, and the food is excellent. We loved the decor as well, with many furnishings and decorations from farm implements and tools. My wife had the lamb shank and I had a wonderful steak. Be sure to give this place a try!Mr. BillThank you so much for your kind words, we truly appreciate all the things you said.We feel very happy to know that you can noticed and enjoyed all the details in our restaurant and in the hotel.Kindest regards!

After taking the free walking tour, it ended exactly here at kiosco roca. There were so many people you couldnt even go in. Service was quick, but you have to push your way to the front to get help. Their classic is the chorizo and cheese sandwich. we had some of those and some with only cheese. Fresh, warm, good snack for after the tour!
