Where to eat Argentinean food in El Calafate: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on Argentinean food in El Calafate, Province of Santa Cruz, Argentina. Building on its must-visit location, the once-tiny El Calafate has grown quickly to cater to and profit from the visitors to nearby Los Glaciares National Park. Many visit to see such natural wonders as Perito Moreno Glacier, a massive glacier that’s actually composed of many other pieces of shifting ice. Yet travelers will find that El Calafate is much more than merely a gateway to the Patagonian wild—it’s a fun town offering all sorts of outdoor adventures.

We were lucky as we were the only guests during our diner. The service was excellent and the owner was very friendly. We had a great lamb and steak with a marvelous wine. Also very good price if you look at the quality of food, wine and service. A beautiful view on Lago Argentina. We came back the next evening!

We seemed to have the opposite experience of other reviews at this restaurant. The food was pretty good (stay away from the house wine though!) but the service was not great. We had a late dinner and the staff was inattentive. Maybe they were tired. They did a cursory attempt with remembering our names but other than the "friendly" greeting, we were pretty much ignored.

A little further along the main street, but worth walking. A cosy little place, it also opens a bit earlier, which is good for those who would prefer an earlier dinner or if you have early excursions. Large portions of home-cooked food and home-made bread. Owners are very friendly and cheerful, making the experience more enjoyable. All are clearly committed to providing good, hearty food and an enjoyable experience.Muchas Gracias por su comentario!!! Para nosotros fue un placer recibirlos! Esperamos puedan regresar!!

What a pleasant choice for dinner when you come to El Calafate. Mi Rancho is in a cute little house a few blocks from the main strip Av. Libertador. Simple, home cooked Argentine fare. Of course they have delicious empanadas, steak and trout from the lake. A perfect environment to relax over Malbec after a day of adventures in Patagonia. Please note the restaurant is cash-only and very reasonable; appx $40 USD should cover two guests with wine.

During our four days stay, we had dinner here for the last two nights. Pity we found out too late about this wonderful surprise near our hotel (Los Ãlamos). Charming little family-run local place, friendly service, great (authentic) menu, and in the kitchen a modern cook with a creative approach on (traditional) dishes. We enjoyed it a lot, so therefore, highly recommended. Loved their desserts. Mind you, closed during low season. Try it, I know you will enjoy it. Both of you are lovely!!! We remember that you ordered the same food both days enthusiastic... Thank you for your warmth!!!

We started with 2 local gin drinks, which were good and strong... Then carpaccio from beef, which was excellent especially the dressing that liften the course. We then shared a lamb course, which was huge. It was slow cooked and tender. Finished off with passion fruit icecream and double espresso. We had also one bottle of CV Catena Malbec. A memorabe evening.

We came here for the lamb, based on TripAdvisor reviews. The lamb was delicious. We also had a flank steak, which was not as satisfying. The views over the lake are beautiful. The ambiance of the restaurant was nothing to write home about. Basically a big open room with tables. Its location is out of town and not really walkable. Service was very good. Here are pros and cons.PROS--Lamb. It was grilled to well done and wrapped in bacon. Very interesting presentation but delicious. --View. Over the lake.--Wine. Reasonably priced.--Service. Very friendly and attentive.--Big parking lot--Take credit cardsCONS--Flank steak was disappointing.--Ambiance was not special. It felt like it could have been a chain steak house in the suburbs--big room. Atmosphere was all about the views.--Not walkable from town

We were recommended this place by our hotel as we were looking for somewhere with decent craft beer, it didn't disappoint, there were only two options but both were excellent.We were not expecting the food to be anything special but were pleasantly surprised when it arrived the piadina's are absolutely delicious and a must, they are kind of like a cross between a sandwich and a pizza, perfect pairing for the beer.

Además de los eventos culturales que es la razón casi de existir de ese lugar la comida es excelente. Ambiente de sensación Ãntima. Con diseño único y cuidado . Para volver mil veces. Fui en dos ocasiones para una milonga y para un concierto con un pintor en vivo. Otros eventos no me motivaron. Eran para un público muy acotado. Lo recomiendo para ir . La vista que tiene también es una maravilla.
