The landscapes of Fuegian forests and the blues of the Beagle Channel frame in this case a culinary journey that runs through the most famous restaurants in Ushuaia. They are unique places to taste the best dishes of the region. I discovered Ushuaia through this gourmet walk.
Prana
Steps from the port of Ushuaia and in the center, the Prana restaurant is located within the facilities of the Albatros Hotel. The place offers regional crab dishes, seafood, Patagonian lamb, pasta, among others, and international dishes. It has a very varied menu focused on the main meals, but there are also breakfasts and confectionery. Hotel guests have promotions.
Kuar Resto & Bar
Ushuaia has a must see place, although somewhat further from the center. Kuar brings together in its rustic architecture environment all the charm of the ocean, in visual images and in sea flavors. The dishes are abundant and with key ingredients that make the mouths of the lucky ones water. Recommended: lamb casserole, black hake with potatoes, parmesan crab. It is completed with a good wine list.
Kuar 1900
More central, Kuar 1900 has a more urban imprint, taking advantage of the value of its remodeled house, in front of the Government House. As in his local brother, there are a variety of fish and seafood dishes. There are also options for chicken, red meat and vegetarian meals. On the top of the dishes are the lamb with the black beer, the potato soup, the lamb ravioli and the chicken wok.
The Market
Almost at the end of San Martín Avenue, a cozy atmosphere and traditional flavors combine to receive diners. Portions are plentiful, ideal to go with family or groups of friends and share. Favorites: salads, pizzas, empanadas, pasta and zucchini and chicken milanesas. The Market looks with a cordial and close treatment towards visitors, which makes this gourmet walk one of the favorites.
Moustacchio
It is a classic place to taste a delicious barbecue, pasta or seafood, with a lot of regular audience and tourists. Of careful attention, the specialties of Moustacchio are the Fuegian crab and the Patagonian lamb on the grill. The restaurant is highly sought after for the abundant dishes and the good prices compared to other sites.
La Cabaña, tea house and restaurant
In an environment of forests of lengas and mountain streams, almost at the end of the road to the Martial glacier, is La Cabaña, tea house. It is the place to enjoy a delicious tea with tempting homemade pastry. The ritual of tea on the mountain keeps its mystique without equal. At noon it offers fast food and at night, chef specialties.
South 54 Lodge
On the shores of Lake Fagnano, the golden landscapes of Tierra del Fuego surround South 54 Lodge, 70 km from Ushuaia. The warmth of the place and the unique details invite you to enjoy the services of the inn and get to know its cuisine of Patagonian and more traditional dishes of Argentinean taste. It is a reunion with the most romantic nature, of water mirrors, forests and unforgettable flavors.
Kaiken
In the town of Tolhuin, 97 km from Ushuaia, the Kaiken lodge treasures the panoramic landscape of Lake Fagnano that enters through its windows. Shelk’nam restaurant is the destination of this gourmet walk. There you can enjoy good international food and unsurpassed Fuegian flavors with the traditional Patagonian lamb at the stake. The name of the restaurant is a tribute to the original towns of the Big Island.
La Cravia
A few minutes from the center of Ushuaia, within the Cerro Alarkén Nature Reserve, La Cravia is a restaurant with buffet and à la carte options. Fuegian flavors, grill and haute cuisine combine to surprise with exquisite dishes. The gastronomic experience becomes extraordinary with the views of the Beagle Channel and the city. The safety pins: the lamb empanaditas and the crab gratin.
