  1. A

    Kaupé

    For an out-of-body seafood experience, head to this candlelit house. Chef Ernesto Vivian employs the freshest of every­thing and service is nothing less than impeccable. We can’t leak our faves, since the chef protests that customers always repeat the order! Service is attentive, the wine list extensive and the views of the bay, well, we doubt you’ll bother to notice them. Reservations advised.

  2. 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.

    Café-Bar Tante Sara

    Serving up burgers, cocktails and a killer grilled-chicken caesar salad, this popular corner bistro offers classic atmosphere. Tante Sara is so well-liked that even the sister branch, a few blocks away near the intersection of San Martín and Rivadavia, is often packed with locals having coffee and pastries.

    María Lola Restó

    Satisfying defines the experience of this creative café-style restaurant overlooking the channel. Locals pack this silver house for homemade pasta with seafood or strip steak in rich mushroom sauce. Service is good and portions tend toward humungous: desserts can easily be split.

    A great gathering spot for wine and appetizers, this century-old Fuegian home is cozied up with sheepskin-clad benches, cedar barrels and ferns. A picada (shared appetizer plate) for two includes eggplant, lamb brochettes, crab and bacon-wrapped plums.

    Café de la Esquina

    The best place to scope out the newest flock of tourists in town, 'the Corner' is wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows. There's a bar and the kitchen whips up good breakfasts and some knockout cakes and sandwiches.

    Almacen Ramos Generales

    The real draw of this rustic general store and museum are the baked goods: the French pastry chef bakes crusty baguettes, croissants and desserts. There is also grain coffee and a wine bar.
