Restaurant Chiko — Restaurant in Ushuaia

I turned up at the restaurant a few minutes before 12 and was turned away. They told me the restaurant is full and cannot accept anyone for the moment. They asked me to come back again for dinner or tomorrow and I said I did not have much time left in Ushuaia. The male staff then asked me to come back again close to 2 and he would try to see if he can leave a table for me. I went around downtown walking and returned back at 145 and there was a table for me. So glad he remembered me and saved me a table. Looked at the menu for a while and decided to get the Centolla del Canal. Had to get it because it was the main image on the menu and also the first dish on the menu. The other one was the Paila Marina also known as the Seafood Casserole, which was recommended. Food was quick to arrive and the portion was really big. Didn't expect it to taste so good and had to stuff myself to finish the 2 dishes. Really enjoyable meal and didn't break the bank. Recommended restaurant to...

Food was surprisingly good and fast. Our entre arrived like 3 minutes. Fried Calamaris ring Rabas HUGE portion 1150 peso and 2 seafood empanadas. Actually has a lot of mussells inside of empanada only cost 170peso, freaking delicious.

We also ordered Paila Marina 1690peso.(Jan 2022) cant wait to try. Will update soon. So far exceed my expectation.

10 minutes later, my paila marina arrived. Well, pretty disappointed. For a main dish the size its like entre :(. No! What a funny restaurant? Rabas entre has main dish size but main dish much smaller........so.we ordered 2 more seafood empanadas.

Will still give them 5 stars since the entre snd empanada was good. But wont come back though as the main was a bit let me down.

Oh by the way, 50％ of dishes in the menu are not...

We went because of great reviews and it was close to the hotel. We actually entered 5 minutes before opening. The menu is great but the food was really really good. We had noodles with seafood, seafood soup and crab soup. Each was excellent and we should have only ordered 2 entree as it turned out they were pretty big in spite of looking small on the pictures. The crab soup was 90% crab with just a little soup, the opposite of the usually serving where a miserable piece of crab floats lonely in a sea of broth. Similarly the noodles were outnumbered by the seafood. I will try to come back and reorder the exact same thing as it...
