Brasserie Petanque
This bright brasserie is a lively spot for Sunday brunch or a leisurely evening meal. Charismatic waiters pour complimentary aperitifs as you ponder steak tartare or roast chicken and peruse the short but wise list of wines by the glass. The prix fixe lunch menu is a steal.

Chez Manu
If you are headed to Glaciar Martial, don’t miss this gem on the way. Chef Emmanuel puts a French touch on fresh local ingredients such as Fuegian lamb or mixed plates of cold fruits de mer. The three-course set lunch is the best deal. Views are a welcome bonus. It’s 2km from town.

Restó
María Barrutia’s painstakingly artistic presentations of quail and salmon contrast sharply with her restaurant’s understated environs. The illustrious chef whips up slow food that is either a smash hit – a rich, creamy pumpkin soup – or a flop. Either way, she’s experimental, and she makes a splash on the local dining scene. Try her creative daily menu at Restó.

La Olla de Felix
This wonderful French bistro comes full of personality and cozy atmosphere – there’s a different soup tureen on every table (as decoration) and animated Felix Rueda, the chef, is often on the dining floor greeting return patrons. There are only five items on the menu, which changes daily, but all are well-prepared, tasty choices – and the service is attentive.

Azema Exotic Bistró
With exotic spices, foreign ingredients and a penchant for crisp white wine, Paul Jean Azema bravely goes where few local chefs have gone before. His eclectic eatery takes inspiration from his diverse travels – tandoori salmon, Vietnamese noodles and tangy ceviche all have their place on the menu – and the simple French-style space is inviting.

Casa Roca
It’s not every day that you can take a lunch break at a 19th-century Italian-Renaissance mansion. The onetime home of President General Roca is now an elegant restaurant only open for three-course meals at midday. You’ll feel worlds (and centuries) away from the downtown clamor while dining on roasted chicken and pommes frites.

Le Sud
The award-winning chef at the Hotel Sofitel’s buttoned-up French eatery, Thierry Pszonda, hails from Provence and his Mediterranean-influenced plat du jour is traditional enough to keep visiting Francophiles happy. Chandeliers and marble add a level of formality that’s absent from the casual downtown brasseries.

Christophe
Christophe is a fine French eatery that's short on pretension and big on taste. The ever-changing menu is always a treat, but take the signature salad for a starter, whatever is fresh for a main course and don't miss the desserts. There's an interesting wine list and good service, too.

La Bourgogne
This cultivated, classy French restaurant at the Alvear Palace Hotel sees sommeliers gliding through hushed rooms as chef Jean Paul Bondoux creates courses and set menus centered on caviar, fish and rabbit. The adjacent Taste Vins cellar also hosts wine tastings.

Brasserie Berry
With its leather banquettes, classic French bistro chairs, blackboard wine lists and rich cuisine, this brasserie has an authentic Lyon feel. The place throngs with bankers and executives at lunch, then takes on a quieter, more romantic ambiance when the downtown crowd heads home for dinner.
