1. Chez Manu
$$$$ | |Herbes de provence in the greeting room, a tank of lively king crabs in the dining room: French chef Manu Herbin gives local seafood a French touch and creates some of Ushuaia's most memorable meals with views to match. The first-rate wine list includes Patagonian selections, while all dishes are created entirely with ingredients from Tierra del Fuego. Perched a couple of miles above town across the street from the Hotel Glaciar, the restaurant has stunning views of the Beagle Channel. Don't miss the baby scallops or the centolla (king crab) au gratin.

2. Arco Iris
$$ | |This restaurant in the center of town is one of the many typical and popular tenedor libre (all-you-can-eat) parrillas on the main strip—nobody orders à la carte. Skip the Italian buffet and Chinese offerings and fill up instead on the grilled meats and morcilla (blood sausage). Sit by the interior window toward the back where you see the parrillero artfully coordinate the flames and spits, and ask him to load your plate with the choicest cuts.
Av. San Martín 98, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9410, Argentina2901-431–306Known For
- Morcilla (blood sausage)
- Typical parilla
- Italian and Chinese offerings, too

3. Bodegón Fueguino
$$$$ | |A mustard-yellow pioneer house that lights up the main street, this traditional eatery is driven by its ebullient owner Sergio Otero, a constant presence bustling around the bench seating, making suggestions, and revving up his staff. Sample the picada plate (king crab rolls, Roma-style calamari, marinated rabbit) over an artisanal Beagle Beer—the dark version is the perfect balm on a cold windy day. Lamb dominates the mains, and the emphasis is on hearty rather than fashionable. Tables filled with locals and visitors make for a boisterous atmosphere. Don't worry about the no-reservations policy as you won't have to wait long.
San Martín 859, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9410, Argentina2901-431–972Known For
- Large and hearty portions
- Famous Patagonian lamb
- No reservations but a quick wait

4. Kalma Resto
$$$$ | |Beautiful dishes and a contemporary twist on traditional Patagonian flavors meet at this funky little restaurant at the end of the world. Owner and chef Jorge says that recipes are inspired by his grandma's classics, but there is also a hint of Peruvian and Mediterranean with signature dishes like octopus ceviche, centolla, Beagle Channel mussels, and paella. The wine list has plenty of Patagonian wines to help you while away a couple hours at this slow-paced and charming restaurant.
Gobernador Valdez 293, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9410, Argentina2901-425–786Known For
- Creative cuisine with wines to match
- Fantastic tasting menu
- Sophisticated service

5. Kaupé
$$$$ | |The white picket fence, manicured lawns, and planter boxes play up the fact that this out-of-the-way restaurant used to be a family home. Inside, the star ingredient is centolla, best presented as chowder with a hint of mustard. Polished wooden floors, picture windows, and tables covered in wine glasses further the sophisticated dining experience with an intimate touch. This restaurant is on a steep ridge above town and offers good views, only a little bit spoiled by the radio antennae sticking up from plots next door. Still, it's seafood served with panache and warmth in a dining room that belies the status quo of the kitschy restaurants near the waterfront. But it can be hard to find; even taxi drivers get lost in the warren of streets above town.
Roca 470, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9410, Argentina2901-422–704Known For
- Seafood served with elegance and sophistication
- Sunset views over the city
- Hard-to-find location

6. La Cabaña Casa de Té
$$$$ | |This impeccably maintained riverside cottage is nestled in a verdant stand of lenga trees and overlooks the Beagle Channel and provides a warm, cozy spot for delicious loose-leaf tea or comforting snacks before or after a hike to the Martial Glacier (conveniently located at the end of the Martial road that leads up from Ushuaia). An afternoon tea with all the trimmings will satiate any peckish trekker, fondues are served at lunchtime, and at 8 pm in summer the menu shifts to pricier dinner fare with dishes like salmon in wine sauce (mainly for the guests at the adjoining cabin accommodation).
Camino Luís Martial 3560, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9410, Argentina2901-424–779Known For
- Countryside setting and views
- Traditional afternoon tea menu
- Lunchtime fondue

7. Ramos Generales
$$$$ | |Entering this café on the waterfront puts you in mind of a general store from the earliest frontier years of Ushuaia, which is why locals call it the viejo almacén (old grocery store). Burgers and picada platters are uninspiring; choose fresh-baked bread or scrumptious lemon croissants instead, and try the submarino—a mug of hot milk in which you plunge a bar of dark chocolate (goes well with a panini). As you walk from room to room admiring the relics (like the hand-cranked Victrola phonograph), the hubbub around the bar reminds you that a warehouse like this was not just a store to pick up supplies; it was also a place for isolated pioneers to socialize and gather all the latest news from the port.
Maipú 749, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9410, Argentina2901-424–317Known For
- Old-school frontier vibe
- Sweet treats like lemon croissants
- Good hot chocolate

8. Tia Elvira
$$$$ | |On the street that runs right along the Beagle Channel, Tia Elvira is a good place to sample the local catch. Garlicky shellfish appetizers and centolla are delicious; even more memorable is the tender merluza negra (black sea bass). The room is decked out with nautical knickknacks that may seem on the tacky side for such a pricey place. The service is friendly and familial.
Maipú 349, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9510, Argentina2901-424–725Known For
- Good local seafood
- Attentive service
- Kitschy decor

9. Volver
$$$$ | |A giant king crab sign beckons you into this red-tin-walled restaurant, where the maritime bric-a-brac hanging from the ceiling can be a little distracting. The name means "return," and it succeeds in getting repeat visits on the strength of its seafood; the culinary highlight is the centolla, which comes served with a choice of five different sauces. Newspapers from the 1930s line the walls in this century-old home, and the service is friendly and relaxed.
Maipú 37, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, 9410, Argentina2901-423–977Known For
- Great place to try signature dish of Tierra del Fuego, centolla
- Waterfront views
- Cozy maritime atmosphere
