We had a wonderful meal. Best we've had in a while. Food was fresh tasty. Steak was a good value. Got a side of veg and a lovely volcano dessert.

Great views of the superb bird sanctuary Laguna Nimez. Food was delicious. The lamb agnoletti was amazing, lamb stew very good, guanaco pappadelle pretty good esp the home made pappadelle. Bottled water is outrageous but it's the norm in El Calafate it seems. House wine a little sweet for my taste. Rosado by the glass was better for me. I came here twice in 2 days for lunch after my visits to the bird sanctuary. Lovely waitresses.

Best gluten-free bread I had in El Calafate. The grilled lamb was awesome. Many gluten-free options. Very friendly and professional staff. We'll come back!

a lovely place with the beautiful view, only pity thing is that they don’t have outdoor seating.the staffs are very friendly and gave very good recommendations. And they are very fair in price, and not like other touristic places in El Calafate to put the tips on the bill.

Mushroom risotto was superb. Lamb stew excellent. Finish with Calafate ice cream. Wine selection good. 15 min Walking distance from downtown. Close to Liguana Nimez.
