After hiking alongside the Bariloche lake in real Patagonian weather, we decided to eat at Rincón Patagónico. We ordered a large beef to share with some roasted potatoes covered in spicy sauce. It tasted delicious and was just the right thing to eat the get the warmth back in to the body. Alongside our food we ordered two beers. Because we could not decide the waiter offered us free tasting of the different beers before choosing. Overall a great experience - would definitely recommend dining at Rincón Patagónico. The have a wide range of menus to choose between so that there is something for everyone’s taste! Wow. Stopped here for dinner after a late flight arrival. Unbelievably cute atmosphere, super friendly staff, EXCELLENT empanadas, fries & wine. Could not be cuter! LOVE!!!! We dined here recently while returning from a drive along the Circuito Chico in the Bariloche area. After exploring the stunning Circuito Chico, we noticed this restaurant along the route. Unsure of where to eat, we decided to give it a try as the prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere was enchanting. The cozy cabin setting, with its wooden tables, walls, and ceilings, felt like stepping into a European retreat. Upon entering, we were greeted by the sight of lamb roasting on an open fire. Our waiter was exceptionally friendly and recommended some excellent dishes. I ordered the goulash soup, while my partner tried the lamb. Although I’m not usually a fan of lamb, I must admit it was incredibly tender and melted in my mouth—a must-try! We paired our meal with a bottle of Alamos Reserva Malbec, which complemented the flavors beautifully. The soup was surprisingly flavorful, and we also enjoyed a fresh salad and provolone with sausage cooked on the barbecue, which had a delightful smoky flavor and texture. We sat upstairs with a panoramic view of the restaurant, giving us the feeling of dining in a private home. By the time we left, the place was bustling with both locals and tourists. This is undoubtedly one of the best dining spots in Bariloche. I highly recommend this restaurant for its unique ambiance, excellent service, and delicious food.

Lamb was incredibly dry, ambiance indicated a tourist-oriented establishment, bathrooms were not clean. However staff was very kind and starters were excellent. Better for families or people who aren’t as attuned to a very high standard of dining

The food was amazing! From presentation to taste it was a 10/10! The service is great as well. They take the time to explain and make recommendations. The wine was a great pairing and complement to the food.
