La Vinoteca Puerto Varas - Restaurant y Tienda de Vinos — Restaurant in Puerto Varas

eh... others in my company were very kind and positive about the food but unfortunately i did not have a great experience. it is fairly pricey place and for that level the service should not smirk at guests who do not drink (not me, but some of our company yes) even if the restaurant is called Vinoteca. and they messed up my order. i ordered a rare stake and got a tired overcooked piece of car tire... such a waste of meat. the entre was fun, tasty but not as well balanced in tastes. the sides to my ruined steak were: potatoes wonderfully prepared and spinach somehow not spinachy enough. and the server didn't seem to care one last bit that i didn't get what i ordered! so erm nope but the wine they recommended me was...

Always Always amazing. Great services, friendly staff, and just an amazing concept.

If you want a bottle of wine just pick your blend from the wine shop attached to the restaurant and ask your waiter for it. You get in at shop price! Sommeliers onsite to help!

Now the plates..yummmm... this is where you want to come and try something new and exciting at a really reasonable price! Duck confit, filet steak or tartars .. the world is your oyster!!!

So recommendes have been there over 3x and never EVER...

We dined twice here. Food is well prepared, beautifully presented and delicious. Hot bread served with quality olive oil is a plus. Part of the fun is going downstairs to the wine shop to get expert help in selecting the best wine to pair with your meal, at store price. The wine steward knows his inventory and speaks English well. Service was a bit slow in January when it was busier than in November. Who cares as the view of the lake and atmosphere make it...
