Parrilla La Estancia

I visited La Estancia to try Patagonian lamb. If I remember correctly, they operate from 12:00 to 15:00, close in the afternoon, and reopen from 19:00 to midnight. The staff were not particularly friendly — especially an older gentleman who seemed almost annoyed when I asked about an item on the menu. The place itself is nice, and the meat I received was of good quality.

It was my first time trying Patagonian lamb, but I personally found it rather bland and lacking in seasoning; it felt like they had simply cooked the lamb over fire without much preparation. As Turks, we are used to preparing lamb with more finesse and richer seasoning. This one felt quite plain, and when the light lamb aroma combined with the lack of salt and spices, it became something I didn’t enjoy. Of course, this is entirely a matter of personal taste and culinary background.

That said, for those who want to try Patagonian lamb, this restaurant could be a good option. Prices are on the higher side, and considering the taste–price balance, I’d say it’s a bit overpriced. Overall, a...

I don't think I have ever given a 1 star review. I ordered the lamb, cordero asado, the prime dish, and was given a tiny piece if meat with nothing edible on it. As I proceeded look up pictures to decide if I just didn't understand my order the waiter eventually asked what I thought. In broken spanish I said "muy pequeno" and he said "I'll bring you another piece, no problem". He brought a much larger piece although it was not that tasty. Locals at the restaurant received much bigger and jucier pieces. It is true as soon as I entered the place I got the vibe of tourist trap, bit it had been recommended by 3 different people (taxi, hotel, random person) as the place for lamb. I should have trusted my instincts. I am not sure how it is rated 4 stars and 1800 reviews. Bad food, attempts to scam tourists, not worth it. I had an excellent steak the night before at Christopher's and amazing crab at Veijo Marina, go...

Visiting from US. Mostly friendly place but with an attitude (an older short server was mad because my wife didn’t know that “tocu(?)” was read sauce for gnocchi. He was intimidating to her and confused her order; they did switched our server to a tall guy that was nice…. The Parillada was just OK. They don’t ask Temperature for your meat; although abundant meat, it’s their temperature (overcooked for me). The ñoquis (gnocchis) are abundant, but not much taste. The provoleta is also just OK. The two Empanadas were the highlight. Together with their lamb (Cordero) are the only things I would eat there. Good value on Torrontes wine bottle. Not cheap lunch; we spent $50 USD for two, including a generous Tip to the nice tall server. Hopefully there are better restaurants in Ushuaia. This one was unfortunately...
