Restaurants in Bariloche

  1. A

    El Boliche de Alberto

    It’s worth dining at this esteemed parrilla simply to see the astonished look on tourists’ faces when a slab of beef the size of a football lands on the table; it’s the AR$46 bife de chorizo (the AR$35 portion is plenty). If the place is full, check out the nearby sister restaurants at Elfein 49 and 158.

    Tarquino

    Built entirely of Patagonian cypress, this esteemed restaurant resembles a hobbit house with its wood stairway, carved wooden doorway, fireplace and troll-like architecture. The small menu is almost entirely parrillada (including a delicious cordero, or grilled lamb), though a pasta and a trout dish grace the menu as well. One of Bariloche’s best.

    Familia Weiss

    A popular family restaurant offering good-value regional specialties such as venison, trout and goulash. The picture menu’s handy for the Spanish-challenged, there’s a good atmosphere and nightly live music.

    Los Tehuelches

    The best-value parrilla in Bariloche, this no-frills place attracts a lot more locals than tourists. The range of set meals is impressive and a bife de chorizo (sirloin) with salad for AR$25 is nothing to be sneered at in this town. The house red is not recommended, except for fans of the very rough hangover.

    Map Room

    A cozy little pub-restaurant with a good range of beers and some interesting menu items. The American breakfast (AR$28) is the real thing – a real belly-buster. Check out the ‘after work’ happy hours, when beers are half price.

    La Fonda del Tio

    You won't find student crowds or primped ski bunnies at this modest local favorite, which whips out massive portions of hearty food for a very local crowd. A must if you're on a budget or feeling tired of the tourist scene.

    La Trattoria de la Famiglia Bianchi

    Finally, an Italian restaurant that offers something a little different. Excellent, creative pastas, a good range of meat dishes and some wonderful risottos, with ingredients such as seafood and wild mushrooms (AR$37).

    Cerros Nevados

    Every Argentine town has at least one gut-busting tenedor libre; Bariloche’s lays it on thick, with plenty of parrilla items, pastas, salads and fiambres (cold meats).

    Días de Zapata

    A warm and inviting little Mexican restaurant. Dishes tend more toward the Tex Mex than you would think (the owners hail from Mexico City) but the flavors are good and the servings generous.

    La Marmite

    A trusty choice for Patagonian standards like trout and venison. Also the place to come for chocolate fondue (AR$70 for two), in case you haven’t eaten enough of the stuff cold.

    La Marca

    Upscale parrilla with reasonable (for Bariloche) prices. Choose from the impressive range of brochettes (shasliks) – beef, chicken, venison, lamb and salmon. On a sunny day, grab a garden table at the side.
