The 14 best foods to try in San Carlos de Bariloche

The waiters spoke great English, we had a very good wine. Got a table Easily. Food was very tasty, the meat tender and juicy. Vegetables fresh and the salad and the potatoes excellent. He had 1/2 portions so we could try three different meat styles. Portions are very big otherwise, good to share. And try the grilled cheese.

Wow! Wow, wow! You absolutely must come here for dinner when you are in Bariloche. Everything about this place is perfect! A charming outside, a cozy inside, excellent service, and amazing food! We had the Denver Steak, Provoleta (grilled cheese, heavenly!), grilled vegetables (including the best eggplant of my life!). Even the placemats are a work of art and the background music was great!

Amazing lamb and trout. Nice smoky and delicious,and extremely tender. Not too fatty which makes it delicious to eat. The vegetable and potato as a side are also scrumptious. The waiters and service is excellent. Only factor is that it is quite expensive…

Couldn’t say anything bad about this place. We had lamb? The sirloin, the roasted veggies, empanadas, and the chorizo with chimichurri. All of it was amazing. They also had homemade bread that was great. Went with family and we couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. Our waitress was wonderful and was willing to speak English to us even though we speak Spanish. Very accommodating. Would recommend it to anyone who wants some good Argentine grilled meats!

I ordered medium rare on my steak but I got welldone. Very disappointed but it was still very tasty.

Simply fantastic! A super nice restaurant with really delicious food – everything fresh and full of flavor. The staff is extremely friendly, attentive, and takes time for each guest. Even if you only speak English, you’ll be perfectly understood and warmly welcomed here. A great place to relax and enjoy yourself – absolutely recommended!

Great spot and a solid treatment of meat. I would return. the steak was perfect. The short ribs and lamb were good. the sides were noteworthy. The wine was a clear winner! I would dine here again

We loved this place. It was really hard to fine a good restaurant in Bariloche Centro, so we were glad to find this. It is located in a residencial area, and the restaurant is served by its owner Lucila. We did A La Carta menu, and everything was amazing. Great portions and flavors. They also have a good selection of wines to your disposal. Highly recommended.

Small venue, next to the house belonging to the couple who run it. The best meal we've found so far (in 10 days) in Argentina. Relatively inexpensive if you're from the USA and benefiting from the strong dollar exchange rate. We tried the appetizer sampler for two, with five different items, all delicious. The stuffed chicken and the lamb kabob were great, nicely presented. Good whole-wheat bread. The chocolate and lemon deserts were also excellent. We're likely to return soon.

Wonder small restaurant about 30min outside of Bariloche. Family run and using interesting ingredients, each dish was really great. We received a fantastic wine recommendation and took a second bottle to go. They accept credit cards and let you tip on the card.

Wow, what a pleasant surprise for the taste buds! Very tasty dishes, great presentation, and quality ingredients. Strongly recommend while visiting Bariloche, definitely worth the drive!

Best meal of my trip to Bariloche. Very understated, charming, and kind host. Run by a husband and wife in resto attached to their house. Incredible tasting menu with solid Pinot Noir for about US$30. Varied courses, even made rabbit taste incredible. The only drawback is it’s not close to town of Bariloche or the mountain or the lake...but the experience is worth the drive. Very responsive to email and helpful with local recommendations.

Possibly the best restaurant around Bariloche! Food, service and atmosphere simply impeccable. This is a do not miss

Better than any Michelin restaurant I've ever been too. The taste of the food was exceptional and the hospitality/service that was given felt like I was with family.

Step into a cosy and warm environment, from the moment you are welcomed by the couple running this place. We spent a perfect dinner in this heartful atmosphere, mainly attended by locals. The "Pan y Hongos" (garlic mushroom toast) was a delight. The meat was excellent too, we tried both the Ojo de Bife and the Entraña. The Ojo was a tad more tender. A place to recommend without hesitation. ¡Muchas gracias por este momento simpático!

Best steak, my partner and I have eaten. Followed by amazing empanadas, great wine, beautiful salad and scallops accompaniment. Food is big and hearty. It’s fresh, clean and not more fried-unloved stuff, it’s beautifully done and completed to a excellent quality. You need to book well in advance.

One of those places where you want to leave a positive review because it was excellent, but on the other hand you don't want to review it because you don't want everyone going and spoiling it. The food was excellent from start to finish and the staff were friendly and helpful. A good mix of tourists and regulars (who were greeted like long lost friends).

Top notch World Cuisine. My favorite Restaurant in Argentina! Reserve and go! Cozy and small place run by a couple who live what they do...and yiu can taste it in their food. You worn be dissapointed, I promise!

When we arrived we were kindly received at the door. The background music, mostly Argentinian folklore, was pleasing and we could talk over it without rising our voices. The place is cozy and ambiented with vintage objects from Argentina. The food was excellent. The plates are well sized and with good quality ingredients. The "pan con hongos salteados" (bread with sauteed mushrooms) is fantastic! I suggest making reservations in advance, as it may be difficult to get a table otherwise.

My son and I shared a steak, house wine and 2 appetizers for $64 US dollars. The steak came with a salad on a wooden cutting board, great presentations. The steak also was boneless very tender trimmed and cooked perfectly. After spending time eating steaks in the best restaurants in Buenos Aires and Mendoza we felt la Salamandra Pulperia’s steak was the best taste and tenderness of our 3 weeks in Argentina. It also was cheaper.

Best restaurant i’ve been to in argentina. The owners are lovely, and the menu and wine list are thoughtful and unique. The steak and empanadas are standouts, but everything was superb. An unforgettable restaurant!!!

Chef Quiven and his 2 sous chefs have put in an incredible amount of detail in each of his innovative creations in his surprise 8-course meal. Every stage of the exquisite meal was an artistic work of creativity combined with flavours, colours, textures, aroma and beauty! This restaurant deserves at least a Michelin Star 🌟 for the menu, wine pairing, acoustic music ambience, and excellent staff service of attentiveness, professionalism, and deep product knowledge 🤩🤩🤩

Warm, friendly and very personal atmosphere and service! Amazing food, exceeding all expectations! Imagine that the taste was topping the presentation, which was already one of a kind! Also a perfect wine recommendation for sophisticated wine lovers!

Fine cuisine in Bariloche. Amazing experience with Heston Blumenthal vibes. We did the 5 course menu with an incredible wine pairing. Highly recommend to book in advance!

Absolutely amazing. Every dish was an innovative journey, each plate told a story of Patagonia, its history, and its land. The creativity, flavors, and presentation were outstanding. Dining at Quiven isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience that captures the essence of the region in the most thoughtful and delicious way.

The food at Quiven is amazing. Simply put there is extremely little holding this restaurant back. I had the 8 course menu, and I enjoyed 7 out of the 8 courses. This place could easily be a 1 / 2 star Michelin restaurant if they upgraded their drinks. The food, atmosphere and service is already at that high standard. I just felt like their drink selection was very lack luster. Now their desserts are out of this world. The pastry chef came out before the final course and got to know what my personal tastes are. Trying to gauge what dessert would fit me best since I dined alone. I can say, the first dessert was so good I added an additional course just to try more of their selection. The dessert here rivals any high dining experiences that I’ve had, and I don’t think anyone will be beating it soon.

Top notch experience. I would recommend the place in a heartbeat. First of all very good not slow service which is not common in Argentina. My server spoke good English, was engaging and in general lovely person. It's pleasing that staffs take pride in what they do and it shows. Then, food. It was interesting, innovative, not boring. Art on a plate, but also very tasty and filling. It's expensive but it's totally worth it.

What a delicious evening. We decided to take the 8 course menu, and it was fantastic. Luckily they provide the menu on their mobile, so we took a photo and new, what was served. Because they speek no English, and my Spanish is very poor. Every course was very tasty. I think, only the wine pairing is too expensive. You need to do a reservation, otherwise you might not get a table. Gracias for that lovely dinner.

Popular chocolate spot. Delicious and great options. Loved it all. I bought the smallest box with six different treats. They were all great.

One of the most impressive chocolate stores in Bariloche. Many options, it goes by the weight and the service is very friendly. It is very expensive but it is worth it. Treat yourself and try the chocolate en Rama, delicious.

I tried Dulce de leche, Mil avellana, Multifruta and all of them were amazing. Give it a shot if you pass by.

Service was friendly, pastries delicious. I thought the coffee was average. I would return. Highly recommend the rose lemon pastry tart.

Huge and famous traditional chocolate shop in Bariloche 🍫 Definitely a place you have to at least visit if you are in town. Gets a little bit busy but the service was great. Most of the Chocolate prices cost around $9000 1/4 kg and $17500 1/2 kg The quality is really good but end up being a little bit expensive if you want to try different chocolate products.

Beautiful store “chocolate lover’s heaven”! If you pay in US dollars be prepared to bring us$50 or $100 bills as us&50 is the minimum purchase otherwise credit card is accepted with purchase minimum.

Everything here is delicious! 😋🤤 You go in dine in or grab a ticket for a personal box. Line was long I wanted chocolates and I went to the shorter line for the pre made box of chocolates, the box didn't even last 2 days and I'm not a crazy sweets person. Every chocolate has a perfect balance not bitter not too sweet just has you craving more!

Best Milanesa ever. And really big. It worth to ask for half each person. Just bear in mind that usually you need to wait to be seated between 30-40 mins. The queues are big to get a place inside. However, close to the restaurant they have take away service. Very good staff, friendly at all times. 100% recommended

🍽️ FOOD • Dishes ordered: We had a feast of meat empanadas, french fries, and a full salad. We followed that with milanesas in clay pots: one napolitana and another with onion and Roquefort cheese. For dessert, we had a Copa del Tío. • Quality: Everything was absolutely delicious. The Copa del Tío is a spectacular and enormous dessert, perfect for those with a sweet tooth. It features creamy ice cream, generously topped with dulce de leche, fresh fruit pieces, crunchy walnuts, crumbled cookies, and a rich portion of chocolate. Each ingredient creates a delightful and varied experience, making it a true feast. • Quantity: The portions were enormous and more than sufficient. • Star recommendation: Don't miss the milanesas in clay pots! 🍷 DRINKS • Selection: We had the house wine, which we mixed with 7UP. 💁 SERVICE • Attention: The waiter was very attentive and gave great advice on portion sizes. • Details: Although you couldn't reserve and there was a queue, the wait was worth it for the incredible food. 🌿 AMBIENCE • Music/noise: There were many children at the table next to us who were yelling and playing, which was quite annoying, but that's something the restaurant can't control. 🛎️ EXTRAS • WiFi/Bathrooms: There was Wi-Fi. 💡 FINAL VERDICT • ✔ Strong points: The high-quality, delicious, and incredibly generous food portions (especially the Copa del Tío), and the attentive, helpful service. • ❌ What to improve: The waiting time to get a table. • 🌟 Secret tip: Don't be put off by the queue; the food is worth the wait.

We really enjoyed our meal here and thought it was one of the few places that had good value for your meal. We split a Milanese as it’s huge, a side of potatoes, gnocchi and wine for only 40,000. We were happy with it. It can get quite busy so we recommend coming early.

This place was recommended by a friend for their Milanesas. It didn’t disappoint! Tasty with lots of melted cheese…. We had the beef and chicken milanesas and both were great! Worth your visit I assure you!

There is a line out the door to get into this place for lunch. They are known for there “Milanesa”. It did not disappoint, we got the napolitana and a whole order, as well as a pasta dish. It was a lot of food and it was SO good. Definitely recommend. Our waiter was super friendly and nice.

Come early! There is a wait before 8 and worth the wait! So much food, enough to share! It's all in the sauce! Pasta or milanesa is a must! Delicious! Great view if you get a window seat and has 2 floors enough to seat a lot of guest and flip tables to seat those waiting outside.

If you arrive around 8pm, expect to wait at least an hour to dine here. So i think it makes more sense to arrive around 7:30pm. Despite the long queue, the food and the service was great. Portions are huge, so order one Milanesa for two or more people. If you are not super hungry, it’s enough for 3 people easily. You can see the size of half portion in the picture i posted.

Ordered their pizza for takeout and had a wonderful experience. Easy to do over their WhatsApp. The pizzas were delicious and filling. The place looked very cute to eat at, will have to go next time.

Arrived with a full packed restaurant due to having a band play. So happy we got a table. Great food. Pizza was very good. Ojo de bife was great with fries and salad. Lots of food. Saw the onion rings and wish I would have got those too. Everything I saw come out was yummy looking. Lots of fun beers to pick from. Highly recommend! Priced well for the quality of food. Will return.

Beautiful place to eat late lunch. We ordered pizza and beer . They have vegetarian options in veg. Fugaza pizza. It had onions and olives. Very soft crust and good amount of cheese

I consider one of the best craft beer and cuisine proposals in the area. The attention is impeccable and there is no lack of coordination between the waiters who alternate. The food arrives at the table at temperature and that is to highlight it. The quality and preparation of the dishes is excellent. The Smog burger was just right, a homemade type, comparable in taste and texture to those of gourmet American chains like Red Robin. From the patio you can enjoy the view and the natural environment. There is a place to park on the premises, to go without reservations, attend between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., when they also have happy hour prices.

Great beers and excellent food - we had the vegetarian picadas and it was an excellent option! The burgers and the beers were great too. Highly recommend!

The location of this place is just insane! It was really cold when I went but otherwise I would have chosen to sit outside to contemplate the mountains. Staff was really friendly and the food was amazing. Beer it's a big plus as well. I'd definitely choose it again.

I know this place has gotten poor reviews especially for the service but we had fantastic service... our server was a tall guy with long hair/dreads and he was excellent - very nice, great recommendations and very prompt... we sat outside and it was very pleasant... we got Cordero and Bife from the Parilla and gin and tonics con fruita rojo... everything for us was fantastic! It is a bit expensive for Argentina but the experience was worth every penny and a similar experience in the US would be much more expensive... highly recommend!

Service was super fast, the burgers are delicious as hell and we will be back!

We had burgers and chicken sandwiches…service was fast and food was good.

Fast and efficient service, pretty good burgers,

Microwave made 4 pieces of chicken tenders for 14700 ars is crazy.

The best burger experience in Bariloche

Highly overrated. Burgers look better than they taste. Ordered the Argentina and Española burgers. The meat has very little flavor, not sure if it is seasoned at all. And while there’s so many toppings, you can hardly taste anything. Not much thought went into crafting a really tasty burger, they just tried to cram as many toppings as possible and hope for the best. There is another burger place here we tried called Weiss which is much better and for almost the same price, comes with a craft beer. If you’re from the U.S. especially and have had some good burgers, you will be sorely disappointed.

We went on lunch time, there were nobody. The waitress came to take our drink order when we arrive in 3min. After we wait 40 minutes before she come to take our order for the food.. at least we have our food 7min after the order. But the meat of the burger was disgusting, it tastes burnt and unwashed plaque for a long time. The chicken was a little better but not that good. Over price, disgusting and terrible service go somewhere else!!

stop on by for a great place to work and dine! excellent views, fresh salads, good vegetarian options, a nice lil beer selection , interesting postres, and functional wifi (no meetings for me). the ceilings were very engaging :) minus one star for the staff who kept opening the door and letting the cold in. although it was pretty funny to watch them silently go back and forth with the other patrons. open. close. open. close. I left before the tied match ended plus one star for those views.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here in Maleza. The food was superb, had great variety and the tea was a perfect, hot addition to the meal. With the perfect spacing between tables and the diversity of how the food can be served I recommend this restaurants 100% to anyone passing through or in the area. Apart from the warm welcoming atmosphere in the place itself, the view to the lake right outside completed this wonderful experience.

Great location and decoration, falafel is vegan and pizza is vegetarian. Food was amazing, service was also excellent.

We went for the BALC menu. Unfortunately one of the children became unwell so we had to leave before we had finished the main course. The staff were wonderful - really quickly packed our food up ( including the desserts) and could not have been more helpful. We will definitely go back. PS - the food was still fantastic reheated at home. Thank you all

Amazing views, and great deals for brunch and lunch! I had a delicious Cesar salad, and I loved that they’re a pet friendly place, and has a super nice atmosphere!

Best cafe in Bariloche. Coffee + food +view = ❤️‍🔥

we came for breakfast, ordered one brunch for two. I liked everything, tasty, fresh!! Capuchino is perfect! The view of the lake and design is amazing! I like this place☺️

Some of the best food I’ve had in Argentina. Great selection and flavor. Highly recommend!

I got taco rosti. It was great. The mix of flavors was subtle. Capachino was a bit weak but tasted good. The view is just astounding. Staff is very friendly.

Food so bad that I had to send it back. After one bite. The owner was nowhere to be found. Putting his young staff in a horrible position —they are very young and not trained to deal with various situations. Thankfully, at least one of them was kind enough to bring me my wallet outside after I had left it there because the whole situation was so stressful. Atmosphere malo wt & bad edm/techno.

Absolutely loved my experience at Almado. The service was exquisite - extremely personable waitors who were happy to talk me through the beautiful view and give me recommendations of what to do in Bariloche as a tourist. The food was divine and I would highly recommend to anyone

Nice place for drinks, but food not the best. Starter prawns was okay. Pasta sauce too fat/oily and too salty. Dessert I suppose should be a mouse but it was quite hard. Portions are quite big tho, helpful staff

I’ve had some of the nicest food here during my month-long trip around Argentina. I ordered two of their platitos, the taco and the hummus, and the flavours were incredible. Dessert was also divine, a flaky puff pastry filled with chocolate ganache and delicious raspberry ice cream. Something different after too many milanesas, empanadas, steaks, pizzas, etc. Portion sizes were also just right. Another big plus is the AC which was a godsend during the heatwave. Very few places have AC in Bariloche. It was too hot to sit outside on their terrace, but the view looked gorgeous!

Excellent view and excellent food. Best affordable place in the city by far. Great service. The cherry gaspacho gets 10/10. Don't miss the trucha

Staff is very nice but the food is sub par. Paella had no flavor and the pork dish was almost inedible. Trout and carne were decent but not great. View was very nice.

Arrived at 1915 hrs … waited 10 min at the table for the waiter to tell us that the kitchen was not open, did not even offer us the menu or drinks , view is amazing…. Service Zero

Good atmosphere, my steak was delicious, my wife's risotto was delicious. The staff is great. Marcello is a great manager.

Great choice! A bit more gourmet than most restaurants in Bariloche. Unique and well made dishes with a spectacular view of the lake, warm and friendly staff.

This was the only restaurant we found a table in. It looked very upscale on the pictures but in reality it is much more casual. The food is simple but very good and the espumante we were recommended was outstanding.

Fantastic new gem in Bariloche! Diego was a fantastic host and his enthusiasm only added to the very delicious experience!

Food wasn’t good

We had an amazing time at this place. This little gem in the heart of bariloche is something special. We had some very good cakes and some of the best tea I've ever tasted. It's small and quiet and run by the owners and you can tell they take very special care of every aspect of the place. I can't wait to return there on our next trip.

Wonderful experience!! Beautiful view, cosy tea house and super delicious!!! 😋😋😋😋🥰 I really recommend it!!! 😍👍🏼

The walk to Meiling Tea House is sooo worth it! Beautiful view, excellent pastries (especially the scones) and kind owner. You will not regret your visit.

This is one of the best tea restaurants you will ever go to! Last time I had tea like this was in London. Congrats if you found this place and the people who work here are some of the best people on earth. If you do not make this a stop on your visit to Bariloche I pity you.

Excellent pastries and home made bread, all freshly made and delicious! And I did not even know there could be so many variations in tea. I highly recommend the cheese cake!

Amazing view, super sweet staff, and the tartas are exceptionally good. Perfect little merienda spot - worth the trek up the hill!

Fantastic place, The atmosphere is so relaxing. Food and Tea are great. Big selection of Tea. The Staff is Friendly. Place clean Great deal on te para 2 for only 20$

Fantastic wine with great customer service

Excellent selection. They were very helpful, spending a lot of time discussing the wines, and also helpfully packing my bottles to ensure they get home safely.

Great wine store with superb staff. A giant inventory of labels all at the same shop, out of the shelf.

It has a lot of argentinian wines. The suggestions sete good although I took tio long in payment. The prices were not very expensive, but they were not cheap either

really good selection of wines and great service. highly recommended

Great selection, very knowledgeable people - you must stop by...

ok
