 Media lunas by TheWanderingCamel
Hotels that serve a breakfast buffet usually run to cereals, fruit, yoghurt (always in tubs, rarely chilled), a variety of breads and sweet cake with preserves, honey and dulce de leche and some sort of cooked food. Eggs seem invariably to be scrambled and ham is probably a better choice than bacon.
With lunch-time often not starting until 2, a fairly substantial mid-morning snack is called for. Coffee now will be espresso or cortado (with that drop of milk) and empanadas and tostados (toasted sandwiches) are favourites. Cake is usually an afternoon treat. Leave a Comment

 Huge slabs of steak by TheWanderingCamel
Cuts are referred to by local names and may well be unfamiliar. Bife de lomo - fillet, is always the top cut, and the most expensive. Lomito is sirloin. If you like rump steak - ask for cuardril and if T-bone is your favourite, bife de costilla is the one to go for. A very popular cut is bife de chorizo - not a sausage as it is in Spain, but fairly thin cut from the sirloin. Asado means roast - a tira de asado is a serving for two - or even four - of ribs, not a lot of meat on them, but lots of flavour! Parillada para dos is a mixed grill for two - or a small army - a sizzling platter of different cuts with morsels of offal and sausage. There'll be others, some that have no real equivalent in other traditions of butchering.
Portions are usually huge, and it's not out of order to request a half portion. Unless you're really starving, I'd give the starters a miss.
Don't expect much in the way of something on the side - some mashed potato or sweet potato and a very cursory salad are the norm, sometimes creamed spinach may find its way onto the plate. You'll need to order any other vegetables.
Be sure to try some chimichurri with your steak - it's an Argentinian addiction - a spicy dressing of olive oil and garlic, chilli, salt, vinegar and herbs. Everyone has their own version - our favourite was Hosteria Pampa Linda's.
Of course other meats are available - cerdo (pork), lechoncito (suckling pig) and cordero (lamb) are usually on the menu somewhere. Cabrito (goat ) is a speciality in Mendoza and there's always pollo (chicken). Leave a Comment Theme: Local

 cooking by kyoub
LaCocina is an Italian restaurant so I thought possibly I could find something here without meat.
Not far from the restuarant is M&M. We stopped there for delicious ice cream. Mine had calafate berries. yummmm
I had stuffed veggies with mushrooms. My hubby had a huge steak. I must get him home before he has a coronary. Leave a Comment Theme: ItalianPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Avendida Libertador 1245

 Delicious! by TheWanderingCamel
Surprisingly filling, some are better than others, and the smartness of the place selling them is no guarantee there - our favourites came from El Establo in Buenos Aires, a long-established city favourite, and the Cafe Aconcagua, high in the Andes at Puerte del Incas. Leave a Comment Theme: Local

The Los Nires hotel was close by where we were staying in Ushuaia. I thought it looked interesting and had a great view of the Beagle Channel. Everyone eats late in So. America so we waited until after 7, late for us. There were several people already there. While talking to the couple across the aisle we learned that many stay there before leaving for Anartica.
They also offer ski packages in the winter months.
Most of the tables are located near a window so everyone can have a mountain/channel view. I had hoped to get a sunset picture but instead we had a rainstorm.
The food was good.
The cheesecake with Calafate berries, out of this world. Leave a Comment Theme: Eclectic/InternationalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Av.de los Nires 3040Directions: Short distance from airportWebsite: www.nires.com.ar

 Large windows by kyoub
We saw a beautiful sunset.
They serve local specialties. My hubby enjoyed the cow tongue as well as his steak.
I had a very nice heart of palm salad and an omelette. When I travel I crave eggs, not sure why because I seldom eat them at home. Leave a Comment

We had a candlelight dinner at the LaVinca Atada restaurant in La Calafate. This was not an expensive/romantic dinner as you might think. It was candellight because the electricity went out right after we were seated. We thought perhaps they could not cook for us but they did it quite well.
We especially liked the fried cheese and wine before our meal arrived.
Hubby had another large steak and I had Hake fish that was very good. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Avenida Libertador 1176 El Calafate,AR

A short drive outside town, right by the sea.
They start serving dinner at 6:30 which is great for us early diners or if you have hungry children.
The service was very good. I didn't get what I ordered but other than that no problem.
Good spinach salad and seafood. My hubby liked his lamb and lentils. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: Perito Moreno 2232
