El Boliche de Alberto

Bariloche's most classic budget grill, serving huge steaks meant for sharing. It takes no reservations, and queues form at mealtimes.

The grill is located in the city center at 347 Villegas Street. It is a classic recognized by locals and visitors alike. The sirloin, tenderloin and ribeye portions are large and consistently cooked. Two people can share one portion, and it is worth starting with blood sausage and sausages. Several guides note its excellent value. No reservations are taken; expect queues at peak mealtimes, although tables turn over quickly outside rush hours. The same brand runs a pasta restaurant on Elflein Street. The former branch on Avenida Bustillo, 9 km out of town, has closed, so take care not to go to the wrong one. It is a few minutes' walk from the Civic Center Square.
