  4. El Tío

    Don't hit the Tío in a rush. This hole-in-the-wall hangout is the perfect place to split a big bottle of beer and indulge in slow-cooked parrilla (mixed grill) - steaks, sausages and innards - tended by the owner himself.

  7. Bar Plaza

    Probe Viedma's soul by eavesdropping on ñoquis (meaning literally gnocchis or government employees) quibbling about the economy over coffee and cigarettes. Look for live blues and tango on weekend evenings.

    This palatable all-you-can eat buffet is as authentic as Patagonian-Chinese gets, with staff playing mah-jongg at spare tables in their off-hours. Meals are a bargain but drinks can be spendy.
