The evening meal in Perito Moreno wasn't included in our tour, so we had a choice of where to eat that evening. Most of the group were staying in Hotel Belgrano, and eating in the restaurant there, but we fancied something different, so we found a different place across the street from Belgrano.
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.
