Isabel Cocina al Disco offers a truly local dining experience in El Calafate, centered around the traditional Argentine method of cooking in a 'disco'—a large iron plow disc. The restaurant is celebrated for its rustic, cozy interior and exceptionally friendly service that makes visitors feel at home. While the menu features comforting starters like rich pumpkin soup, the main draw is the variety of 'al disco' stews and meats. Portions are notoriously large, often feeding more people than suggested, making it a budget-friendly choice for groups. It is a popular post-hike destination where the warm atmosphere and filling meals provide the perfect end to a day in Patagonia.

Diners also highlight the quality of the complimentary bread and the richness of dishes like pumpkin soup and spicy chicken.
