Jauja
A long-standing ice cream parlour and restaurant founded in El Bolsón in 1982, famous for flavours made with native Patagonian berries.
Jauja was founded by the Mazzini family, who opened its first ice cream shop at Avenida San Martín 2867 in 1982. It remains at the same address, and the same building houses a restaurant and a chocolate shop. The ice creams are made with calafate berries, raspberries, maqui berries and Patagonian goat's milk, among other ingredients, and the flavours have distinctive names. The restaurant is open every day of the year and serves pizza, handmade pasta, Patagonian trout, lamb stewed in a round cast-iron pot, and vegetarian dishes. The ice cream counter often has queues in peak season. It is on the town's main street and within walking distance of the centre.
