We ended up eating here every night because they always had a table for us in a town with limited real asados at a peak time of the year.We watched the mountains of sizzling meat being delivered to the other tables so knew we were in for a treat. The lomos were as good as I remembered from previous trips to Argentina. They were tender, flavoursome with that crusty edge. Perfect paired with a glass of malbec and a plate of grilled vegetables. Pricing is at high end but this is a tourist town full of parading puffer jackets. Note there is a cover charge per head here but all of the restaurants in El Calafate do it. Service is a bit patchy and on the surly side but we liked the consistency of the food. This is your best bet if you haven't booked a table.

Treat yourself with the tenedor libre and you'll get many kinds of different meat (bife, Patagonian lamb, guts, chicken, chorizo sausage). You'd better not eat the whole day just before, cause its huge. The taste: perfect. The staff: excellent. Environment: warm and cosy. This place definitely deserves its reputation.

Getting a booking was easier than we thought as it was done on the day. The service was great and attentive. The food was plentiful. The mutton was tender and well done. Overall a great evening

The food here is AMAZING!!! The empanadas, the sauces, the milanesa, the bread... all so good. However, the service is shady. We tried ordering 3 bottles of wine and they didn't have any. Our waiter tried upselling a bottle but it was way too expensive. Upon seeing that we wouldn't budge, he finally offered us a bottle he magically found around the same price as the original ones we wanted; but we had to bargain for the price. The wine was incredible. However, our waiter made us feel bad for not wanting to pay a ridiculous price for wine. The shadiness left us with a bad taste and we were afraid the food was gonna be so-so, and we actually kinda wanted to leave but we were so hungry. And then something clicked with our waiter and he ended up being such a lovely person. A really weird interaction.Yet the food was good and we were sad to not have tried the beef here.

Cozy coffee-and-pastry shop by day, wine bar and bistro by night

The best grilled chicken we have had in Argentina so far. You could choose white meat or dark meat. Also shared a plate of baked vegetables and a salad. For dessert we had the apple pie. The restaurant is very small so if you are a party of 2 and want your own table, you have to be there early. Otherwise you are seated with other guests at larger tables.

They serve wine by the glass as well as bottle and have a selection of beers. We had the grilled chicken for two and ordered a side of grilled veggies. There are a few other side options, including fries. There were 5 pieces of chicken served on a wooden platter and the single order of grilled veggies was enough for two people. The bread served before the meal was very good and presented with a bowl of lentils and onions to put on the bread. The only downfall was that the chicken was on the dry side. The rest was very good.

Feared after having a great meal the first night that it wouldn't live out to expectations especially as is a 10 minute walk out of town. Pleasant surprised and if you lucky get a window seat with views of the city. Great value and staff were accommodating, we felt at home that we finished on J &B (whiskeys)

Open from the 15th October to Easter Sunday inclusive. Get ready to please with our regional dishes. Our specialty is "Palo" Lamb.
Reviewed By Richard W
This is the restaurant of the hotel Posada Los Alamos, which lies two blocks north of the main street. It is quite large, and, in addition to an excellent breakfast buffet for guests, it offers a good choice of Patagonian dishes for dinner. We had the lamb barbecue, which is cooked the traditional way on spits hung above a log fire. It was delicious, although the portions were huge. Service was friendly and attentive.

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
