El Mercado Ushuaia — Restaurant in Ushuaia

While the food was delicious, it took nearly 2 hours. To be clear, I blame the head chef for not having the full menu available to order. There was a miscommunication with one of the junior waiters due to a language barrier, but that wouldn't have occurred if the full menu was available for order.
