I think the name was El Viejo and it was more of a bar than restaurant. They had no menu on display but the waitress rattled off a list of dishes on offer. All cost 25 pesos so Ruth went for the cordero (lamb) and I had the lomo (steak). Both were excellent - even in this remote area of Patagonia, the meat is as good as anywhere else in the country. After our 12 hours in a bus that day we felt we deserved a few beers too.
