My boyfriend and I went here for dinner on one of our 5 nights in El Chalten and were a bit disappointed. We came specifically because it is the #1 reviewed restaurant on Tripadvisor in El Chalten, but we didn't get that experience. The service was excellent, granted, but the food was not up to standard. I had a local... More

Had dinner of trout, veg soup & wine. The veg soup was filled with veggies and very tasty. Was torn between the steak and trout but decided to take the healthier option although the steak looked very good at other tables. Portions are rather huge so do share. The place was packed when I was there, so if u wish... More

La Tapera was recommended to us by our hotel staff and we weren't disappointed in the least! Based in the small town of El Chalten, it was a real cozy and comfortable restaurant, popular with locals and tourists alike. The roaring fireplace in the center of the dining area was a welcoming sign after a hard, cold day of trekking...... More

A quaint chalet style restaurant with very delicious food and lovely service from staff. A top choice in the small city of El Chalten! The glass of homemade liquor at the end is a winner

We were a bit worried the roof was going to blow off, but we were worried about that our entire trip in El Chalten. I had the sorrentinos de calabaza and my boyfriend had the lamb. Both were delicious! The bread they give you at the beginning was also better than most restaurant bread. The cabin like setting is awesome.... More

Best food in El Chalten. The owner is super welcoming, the food is just a dream and wine is wow. Yes it is a bit more expensive than some other restaurant, but it is by far the best for your buck. We went twice out of our 3 night in town. We had : lamb ravioli(my fav), pumpkin ravioli, lomo... More

Small, cosy restaurant with a football-mad owner and souvenirs. We ate a rather dull trout with decent accompaniments and the best fillet steak I have had in years (not just one but two whole rounds), served by helpful staff and accompanied by an excelent Malbec.
