1. Cantina El Náutico
$$$$ | |Founded in 1963, photos of visiting Argentine celebrities mingle with the marine-themed doodads that cover the walls at this local favorite. The best bet in town, they are most known for their large portions of fish and seafood dishes but they also offer traditional Argentine cuisine.

2. Chez Manu
$$$$ | |Herbes de provence in the greeting room, a tank of lively king crabs in the dining room: French chef Manu Herbin gives local seafood a French touch and creates some of Ushuaia's most memorable meals with views to match. The first-rate wine list includes Patagonian selections, while all dishes are created entirely with ingredients from Tierra del Fuego. Perched a couple of miles above town across the street from the Hotel Glaciar, the restaurant has stunning views of the Beagle Channel. Don't miss the baby scallops or the centolla (king crab) au gratin.

3. La Cervecería Chaltén
$$$$ | |This successful microbrewery is famous in the region for its brews and comfort food. Of course, it's not just the hops bringing in the crowds; they also cook up delicious soups, snacks, empanadas, and a great locro (hearty traditional northern Argentine stew). The owners of this restaurant and bar pride themselves on the handmade beers, with the stout or negra not to be missed.

- Hearty comfort food
- Welcoming atmosphere

Rate Includes: Closed June–Oct. -
4. La Zaina
$$$$ | |This trendy bistro is filled with seductive cocktails, colorful plates, and fusion flavors. It might be located in a rural Patagonian town at the end of the world, but these dishes could easily come straight out of a trendy Buenos Aires restaurant---served with edible flowers, spirit infusions, and plenty of attitude.
Gobernador Gregores 1057, El Calafate, Santa Cruz, Argentina2902-496--789Known For
- Creative cuisine
- Trendy bar service
- Instagram-worthy plates
-
5. Sugar
$$$$ | |This central restaurant serves up every meal of the day and while the chocolate fondue has some fame in the town, it's really the fusion cuisine in the evening that keeps punters returning. There's a relaxed but professional bistro vibe to Sugar and the chef has an eye for smart presentation.
25 de Mayo 247, Trelew, Chubut, Argentina0280-442--1210Known For

6. Ty Té Caerdydd
$$$$ | |A short way out of town lies Gaiman's largest teahouse (where Lady Di famously took tea in the 1990s), surrounded by cypress trees, sculpted gardens, and a giant tea pot. It stands apart from its rivals culturally, too: it's run by descendants of a Spanish family, which shows in the sprawling colonial-style architecture. Otherwise you'd never know they weren't Welsh, as they do the most impressive spread of traditional cakes in town.
Finca 202, Gaiman, Chubut, 9105, Argentina0280-449–1510Known For
- Peaceful and picturesque location
- Indulgent tea cakes
- Lady Diana shrine
-
7. Aonikenk
$$$$ | |In a dark wooden dining hall you'll share hearty steaks, warming soups, and wine poured from penguin-shaped ceramic jugs in a family restaurant that includes a hostel upstairs. It's rustic, and the food is not spectacular, but you can't beat the friendly atmosphere in what is easily El Chaltén's largest and most popular restaurant. It's also the only one that's consistently open for lunch and dinner in the off-season.
Av. M.M. de Güemes 23, El Chaltén, Santa Cruz, 9301, Argentina2962-493–070Known For
- Family-friendly atmosphere
- Standard Argentine cuisine
- Open hours even in the off-season
-
8. Arco Iris
$$ | |This restaurant in the center of town is one of the many typical and popular tenedor libre (all-you-can-eat) parrillas on the main strip—nobody orders à la carte. Skip the Italian buffet and Chinese offerings and fill up instead on the grilled meats and morcilla (blood sausage). Sit by the interior window toward the back where you see the parrillero artfully coordinate the flames and spits, and ask him to load your plate with the choicest cuts.
Av. San Martín 98, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9410, Argentina2901-431–306Known For
- Morcilla (blood sausage)
- Typical parilla

Rate Includes: Dinner every day; lunch only on weekends. -
11. Bodegón Fueguino
$$$$ | |A mustard-yellow pioneer house that lights up the main street, this traditional eatery is driven by its ebullient owner Sergio Otero, a constant presence bustling around the bench seating, making suggestions, and revving up his staff. Sample the picada plate (king crab rolls, Roma-style calamari, marinated rabbit) over an artisanal Beagle Beer—the dark version is the perfect balm on a cold windy day. Lamb dominates the mains, and the emphasis is on hearty rather than fashionable. Tables filled with locals and visitors make for a boisterous atmosphere. Don't worry about the no-reservations policy as you won't have to wait long.
San Martín 859, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9410, Argentina2901-431–972Known For
- Large and hearty portions
- Famous Patagonian lamb
- No reservations but a quick wait
Restaurant Details

12. Casimiro Biguá
$$$$ | |This restaurant and wine bar boasts a hipper-than-thou interior and modern menu serving such delights as Patagonian lamb with calafate sauce (calafate is a local wild berry). The Casimiro Biguá Parrilla, down the street from the main restaurant, has a similar trendy feel, but you can recognize the parrilla by the cordero al asador (spit-roasted lamb) displayed in the window. A third branch, also on Libertador, offers Italian dishes in a less formal setting. Each closes periodically during winter.
Av. Libertador 963, El Calafate, Santa Cruz, 9405, Argentina2902-492–590Known For

- Big portions
- Typical asado atmosphere

- Argentine gourmet
- Vegetarian options

14. Cornel Wini
$$$$ | |For decades the Jones family, owners of this stately redbrick corner building, ran a hotel and bar (complete with a boxing ring in the basement) here, but switched to serving steaks, pizzas, and pasta in between the tea cakes. The decision has been a success: on weekends locals pack themselves around the wooden tables to devour the generous parilladas (mixed grills).
Av. Eugenio Tello 199, Gaiman, Chubut, 9105, Argentina0280-449–1397Known For

16. Gwalia Lân
$$ | |Homemade pastas are the specialty here, but locals also tuck into hearty grilled dishes of steak, pork, and chicken at this lively restaurant with exposed brick, low lighting, wooden booths, and a traditional pub-like atmosphere. Some come just for a beer while others come to dine.

17. Isabel cocina al disco
$$$$ | |It takes a lot of moxie to open a restaurant not serving cordero, barbecue, or pizza in Patagonia, and former “fancy” chefs José and Leandro show they have just that with their homey restaurant, which uses vintage plow wheels to cook a traditional and ultimately delicious stew-style dish known as al disco. The al disco menu offers all sorts of meats and veggies cooked in beer, red wine, or white wine; more creative and quasi-modern options like Bife al Napolitana; or you can create your own. And you've got to love a restaurant that tells you not to bother with starters but rather just dunk your bread in the disco sauce. Great atmosphere, laid-back charm, and effortlessly tasty food have made this a popular spot in town.
Perito Moreno 95, El Calafate, Santa Cruz, 9405, Argentina2902-489–000Known For
- Signature stew dish cooked several creative ways
- Charming and lively atmosphere
- Massive portions

18. Kalma Resto
$$$$ | |Beautiful dishes and a contemporary twist on traditional Patagonian flavors meet at this funky little restaurant at the end of the world. Owner and chef Jorge says that recipes are inspired by his grandma's classics, but there is also a hint of Peruvian and Mediterranean with signature dishes like octopus ceviche, centolla, Beagle Channel mussels, and paella. The wine list has plenty of Patagonian wines to help you while away a couple hours at this slow-paced and charming restaurant.
Gobernador Valdez 293, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9410, Argentina2901-425–786Known For
- Creative cuisine with wines to match
- Fantastic tasting menu
- Sophisticated service
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun. -
19. Kaupé
$$$$ | |The white picket fence, manicured lawns, and planter boxes play up the fact that this out-of-the-way restaurant used to be a family home. Inside, the star ingredient is centolla, best presented as chowder with a hint of mustard. Polished wooden floors, picture windows, and tables covered in wine glasses further the sophisticated dining experience with an intimate touch. This restaurant is on a steep ridge above town and offers good views, only a little bit spoiled by the radio antennae sticking up from plots next door. Still, it's seafood served with panache and warmth in a dining room that belies the status quo of the kitschy restaurants near the waterfront. But it can be hard to find; even taxi drivers get lost in the warren of streets above town.
Roca 470, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9410, Argentina2901-422–704Known For
- Seafood served with elegance and sophistication
- Sunset views over the city
- Hard-to-find location
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun., Reservations essential -
20. La Cabaña Casa de Té
$$$$ | |This impeccably maintained riverside cottage is nestled in a verdant stand of lenga trees and overlooks the Beagle Channel and provides a warm, cozy spot for delicious loose-leaf tea or comforting snacks before or after a hike to the Martial Glacier (conveniently located at the end of the Martial road that leads up from Ushuaia). An afternoon tea with all the trimmings will satiate any peckish trekker, fondues are served at lunchtime, and at 8 pm in summer the menu shifts to pricier dinner fare with dishes like salmon in wine sauce (mainly for the guests at the adjoining cabin accommodation).
Camino Luís Martial 3560, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9410, Argentina2901-424–779Known For
- Countryside setting and views
- Traditional afternoon tea menu
