La mejor experiencia gastronómica de Ushuaia
Es mi mejor experiencia gastronómica en Ushuaia!
Me encantó todo: el ambiente romántico e íntimo, la calidez del dueño y los platos inolvidables! La mejor centolla que comí en mi vida, la panna cotta que no pude imaginar y la carta de vinos super prolija.
Nos gustó tanto, que volvimos la noche siguiente!

Special...intimate... delicious
Came across this wonderful restaurant and wine bar to celebrate the end of a magical visit to Antarctica.
The menu showcases local seafood and argentinian cuisine. My steak was perfect. This is a small intimate restaurant. You should book to avoid disappointment. Wines to match. Cocktails. It was delightful.

Exceptional! best-of-the-best in 3-week tour
Christian is the owner/chef/greeter. As a 3rd generation chef, Christian has been cooking since age 14 under the tutelage of top chefs. This has allowed Christian to apply top skills to his imaginative, tasteful menu, where each dish is like “one of his children” (all are favorites) You will feel like you have been invited to Christian’s home where he whipped up a divine meal just for you. His starter bread was artisanal. He showed restraint when adding cheese to his crab risotto and crab gratin so the other ingredients could shine. The risotto cake with the black hake was soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside. The sashimi perfected. His Teriyaki dessert was one-of-a-kind, where he hit every taste sense (sweet, tart, umami…soft, crunch, chew). We went back twice! A plus is it’s open for lunch, so can support fly in/out days.
