San Martín de los Andes is an ideal place to combine dream landscapes and good cuisine. You will find restaurants, breweries and gastronomic venues overlooking glacial lakes and centuries-old forests.


The gastronomy has a well-defined identity, originated in the mixture of local products and immigrant recipes such as Patagonian lamb, deer and trout combined with mushrooms, fine fruits, liqueurs, chocolate, craft beer and wines of the best strains.


The culinary offer of the town is among the most exquisite in Patagonia with chefs who re-version regional products.

The best entries.


Ulises

At the time of preparing dishes favor local products , such as trout, Patagonian lamb and black hake. They seek to take care of the product to maintain intact its properties and thus, develop tasty dishes, just right cooking and with attractive presentations. 


Te I recommend trying the delicitas, a table that contains: butter trout black, chorizo steak with roquefort and trout with fine herbs.


restaurant has space for 150 diners and a terrace that allows see all day the best views. I recommend you accompany this experience with a selection of the finest wines, through a proposal very original where the wine list was replaced by a visit to the cellar to select your drink yourself.
