  • 22. Puerto Cangrejo

    $$$$

    The locals crowding the tables at this bustling, family-oriented restaurant are proof of its reputation as the top seafood spot in town. The best dishes are the starters: think oyster platters, a decadent bowl of calamari, or the picada de mariscos, a sampling of hot and cold shellfish dishes. Follow up with the centolla (king crab) or stuffed salmon.

    Av. Costanera 1051, Comodora Rivadavía, Chubut, 9000, Argentina

  • 23. Pura Vida

    $$$$

    Bohemian music, homemade cooking, and colorful patchwork cushions set the tone for this unpretentious, friendly restaurant several blocks from downtown. You'll be surrounded by funky artwork, couples whispering under low-hung lights, and laid-back but efficient staff as you try to decide which big-enough-to-share dish you'll order while working your way through a great dome of steaming bread. Choose between soups, pies, and bakes; the lamb stew served inside a calabaza (pumpkin) is the signature dish. They also have vegan and vegetarian options. 

    Av. Libertador 1876, El Calafate, Santa Cruz, 9405, Argentina

  • 24. Raices

    $$$$

    With its paneled walls, sleek black tables, and vintage photos, this retro Italo-Argentine diner is popular with locals and visitors alike for its pasta specialties. Try the stuffed gnocchi and the good prix-fixe menus.

    Av. Fontana 246, Trelew, Chubut, 9100, Argentina
    0280-443–0403

  • 25. Ramos Generales

    $$$$

    Entering this café on the waterfront puts you in mind of a general store from the earliest frontier years of Ushuaia, which is why locals call it the viejo almacén (old grocery store). Burgers and picada platters are uninspiring; choose fresh-baked bread or scrumptious lemon croissants instead, and try the submarino—a mug of hot milk in which you plunge a bar of dark chocolate (goes well with a panini). As you walk from room to room admiring the relics (like the hand-cranked Victrola phonograph), the hubbub around the bar reminds you that a warehouse like this was not just a store to pick up supplies; it was also a place for isolated pioneers to socialize and gather all the latest news from the port.

    Maipú 749, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9410, Argentina
    2901-424–317

    Known For

    • Old-school frontier vibe
    • Sweet treats like lemon croissants
    • Good hot chocolate

  • 26. Tia Elvira

    $$$$

    On the street that runs right along the Beagle Channel, Tia Elvira is a good place to sample the local catch. Garlicky shellfish appetizers and centolla are delicious; even more memorable is the tender merluza negra (black sea bass). The room is decked out with nautical knickknacks that may seem on the tacky side for such a pricey place. The service is friendly and familial.

    Maipú 349, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9510, Argentina
    2901-424–725

    Known For

    • Good local seafood
    • Attentive service
    • Kitschy decor

  • 27. Touring Club

    $$$$

    Legend has it that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid once stayed here—search long enough and you might find them among the old photos cluttering the walls. This cavernous old confitería (café) was founded in 1895, and became Chubut's first hotel in 1926. The hotel's rooms are too shabby to recommend, but a toasted sandwich and a coffee or beer here is tantamount to a trip back in time.

    Av. Fontana 240, Trelew, Chubut, 9100, Argentina
    0280-443–3997

    Known For

    • Historic spot
    • Great bar
    • Barely comfortable rooms
  • 28. Ty Gwyn Patagonia

    $$$$

    Founded in 1974, this traditional Welsh tea room caters to tourists with its delicious cakes, desserts, and homemade bread. Located in a warm house reminiscent of a chapel, every object has a story to tell: paintings and embroidery by local artists, tablecloths with recipes and words in Welsh, it is a veritable showroom for the family's antiques, including a wood-burning stove surrounded by utensils used by Welsh settlers to cook and heat the home.

    9 de Julio 111, Gaiman, Chubut, Argentina
    280-449--1009

    Known For

    • Welsh antiques
    • Fantastic cakes and desserts
    • Tasty tea

  • 29. Ty Nain

    $$$$

    The matriarch who presides over the kitchen here, Mirna Jones, is a proud descendant of the first woman born in Gaiman. Her ivy-covered teahouse on the main square looks like a knickknack shop: it's stuffed with doodads and hung with crochet, and there are gramophones, carriage lamps, and antique radios on display above the four original chimneys, which date to 1890, although Formica paneling detracts slightly from the old-world style.

    Hipólito Yrigoyen 239, Gaiman, Chubut, 9105, Argentina
    0280-449–1126

    Known For

    • Welsh tea
    • Friendly service
    • Unreliable opening hours

    Restaurant Details

    Rate Includes: Closed weekdays in winter, No credit cards
  • 30. Volver

    $$$$

    A giant king crab sign beckons you into this red-tin-walled restaurant, where the maritime bric-a-brac hanging from the ceiling can be a little distracting. The name means "return," and it succeeds in getting repeat visits on the strength of its seafood; the culinary highlight is the centolla, which comes served with a choice of five different sauces. Newspapers from the 1930s line the walls in this century-old home, and the service is friendly and relaxed.

    Maipú 37, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9410, Argentina
    2901-423–977

    Known For

    • Great place to try signature dish of Tierra del Fuego, centolla
    • Waterfront views
    • Cozy maritime atmosphere

    Restaurant Details

    Rate Includes: No lunch Sun. Closed Mon.
