Ushuaia Travel Guide: Restaurants
Kapue, Roca 470, Ushuaia $10-$17 (main course)
One of the best restaurants in town and for good reason: the food is outstanding and is matched by a warm, pleasant and welcoming environment. The menu is straight to the point offering only the best foods on offer. A must-taste is the King Crab; a gorgeous appetizer finished with crepe wrapping and saffron sauce. Main courses are chiefly based a variety of seafood such as sea-bass and salmon alongside beef and chicken dishes.
The Chez Manu, Av. Fernando Luis Martial 2135, Ushuaia $10-$20 (main course)
This restaurant has spectacular views with large windows on all sides. It is run by two Frenchmen, one of whom was a chef at the 5 star Las Hayes hotels (see above). The restaurant reflects their French influences while making use of locally sourced ingredients. A fresh supply of fish ensures a vibrant seafood selection including black hake or another fish caught nearby. The appetizers and sides are simple but inventive and the wine list has some excellent dry white wine from the region – a perfect accompaniment to the fish.
Tante Nina, Godoy 15, Ushuaia, Argentina $8 - $18
This restaurant is now considered to be one of the more “high brow” options in town with an elegant dining room and sea views all located in the city center. Casseroles containing seafood – especially the exquisite king crab – are the specialty here. Other popular dishes are beef, chicken and rabbit but the king crab remains king of dishes. Customers can rest assured they will receive swift service though the atmosphere can occasionally be a little pretentious.
Kuar, Av. Perito Moreno 2232, Ushuaia 9410, Argentina - $11-$20
The stylish architecture of this building looks slightly out of place in this more rustic area of town, but the surprise is a welcome one. And the food is a welcome comfort too: Lamb with ginger, beef and tomato stew and, of course, creamy spider crab is all on the menu. Perhaps the key reason that this restaurant stands out, however, is the delicious range of home brewed beer. Either a glass of this or a fresh coffee always makes a heart and soul warming accompaniment for relaxing with terrific views of the Beagle channel. There are stairs up to a cushioned area just perfect for this purpose.
