Things to do in El Chalten
10. Kalem
Reviewed By Moscow_Irina
The Pisco Sours they make are really good. Plus this place us popular with the locals. The downside is that it us really dirty - with the waiters not caring a tiny bit for hygiene. Although, I must admit that hygiene is not something that is popular with El Chalten places in general so Kalem can be considered trendy in this regard.

We had some Espresso and it was really good. Crema could be a little bit more thicker. But it is definitely the best coffee in El Chalten. Dudes and girls are super friendly. Big recommendation to hang around with a good coffee and listening to a nice tune while watching the Patagonian landscape.

We tried to get a beer and possibly some food here but after waiting 20 minutes and never even getting a menu, we walked out. While waiting, we noticed patrons at a number of tables appearing to beg for their checks so they could leave.

Came to this restaurant after a big hike. The hamburger (a double patty) was served with advocado and tomatoes (optional bacon and cheddar cheese) was wonderfully prepared and delicious. Got to talking to the owner who is also an avid mountain climber and has climbed many of the bolted routes on the El Chalten Wall. Really friendly service and this place stays open till late in the nite (11 pm).

My wife and I walked 1 km west on the main drag from our hosteria Kau Si Aike to this recommended and popular restaurant. We had scouted it out along with many others yesterday, finding this one nearly full at lunch and customers enjoying large portions of all types of food. We chose a corner table on the 1st floor that could seat 60 and the loft would nearly equal that. A waitress brought menus, followed by a basket of sliced baguette and a small bowl of garlic and carrot spread. The vast menu has soups, salads, pizza, pasta, sandwiches, grilled chicken and meat. Several draft beers and many covered counter desserts were available. The 2 waitresses were kept busy but the rate of service clearly depended on the kitchen. We ordered and our drink arrived, followed shortly by our shared meal, grilled chicken with smashed potatoes with 2 slices of lemon, and a bowl of pumpkin soup (asked for it to be reheated).The food was filling, very tasty, and reasonable, totaling 370Ap=$20.50. This place is a real winner and a âgo toâ spot for people of all ages.

"Don Guerra" is a restaurant / brewery that is on the north part of the city, near the El Chálten trail. It was our favorite restaurant on the city on the past (Autumn season), and we decided to return last year on Spring. It has a more cozy and pub-oriented atmosphere, like an alpine cottage with related decoration, with an American style service, great heating for the colder days and with a nice bar on the middle of the restaurant. It has more elaborated dishes, with good portions and very nice and friendly service, and depending of the season it is packed with groups to drink the several options of beers that they have - it is also a good place to be on couples if you like a busier place. They have also Happy Hour and an extensive chart of wines and distilled drinks.We did go there twice on the last trip: in the first one, we tried the Laguna Soup (roasted pumpkin and blue cheese) that was ok, along with two excellent regional indian pale ales (IPA) and a Ravioli del Campo (stuffed lamb pasta with tomato sauce, mushrooms, and cream - just awesome and rich). In a second visit we had another two Indian pale beers along with a Del Norte Soup (sweet corn with bacon soup, very tasty), a Sorrentino del Lago (stuffed trout past with butter herbs and green onions, just delicious), and the Wok a Lo Gaucho (vegetables wok with rice chicken and Mollet egg - the egg was a bit too much boiled and the rice a bit tasteless). For dessert two Torta de Frutos Rojos (red fruit cake with American cream and ice-cream, very good).We have been there four times on the previous trip (past Autumn season), and the menu had more options, with different dishes and it was cheaper (the prices were higher on the recent visit - maybe because of the devaluation of pesos, maybe because of seasonality). They also offered a starter that was a delicious bread with pumpkin paste that we didnât get on the recent visits. We got the chance to try lots of dishes, like the squid rings, the Pizza (excellent, packed with a delicious cheese), Sorrentino del Lago, Ravioles de Campo (both delicious), Cordero a la Massa (it was the dish that I missed the most), Lomo al Pecho, Bife Don Guerra (both were excellent), the Hamburger (a bit dry) and the Flan. Without almost no exception, all dishes were very good. I don't know if they have a seasonal menu or if they just alter the menu from time to time, but gladly, many of those options still are in the menu and are excellent choices.In resume, Don Guerra is a very good choice if you want an excellent beer or some more gourmet dishes that are usually very well done, very rich and tasty in good portions. You pay a bit more than other places in the city, but the place, ingredients used, presentation and preparation are worth the extra bucks, and it still have a very good cost benefit. Without a doubt we can recommend a visit if you are in El Chálten.

We loved the food in this little restaurant. We went two times and both times the food was very tasty, for a much cheaper price than in the other restaurants. They have a menu with quite some variety (soups, empenadas, burgers, stews, milanesas) and also some things a little bit more special (like pulled pork marinated in orange). You taste that everything is made with a lot of attention. The couple running the restaurant is very friendly. The lamb and mushroom stew and the pulled pork burger are very recommended..
