Parrilla Don Pichon is a standout dining destination in El Calafate, combining traditional Argentine grill culture with spectacular elevated views. Perched to overlook the city and Lago Argentino, the restaurant features a rustic but polished interior that feels both cozy and upscale. The menu focuses on high-quality meats, with the Ojo de bife and Patagonian lamb receiving high praise for their tenderness and size. Guests often start with the grilled provoleta or the complimentary lentil salsa before diving into massive main courses like the Matambre al Roquefort. Whether you are visiting for a romantic sunset dinner or a hearty meal after exploring the glaciers, the combination of scenic vistas and warm hospitality makes it a local favorite.
Parrilla Don Pichon is highly regarded for its impressive views and high-quality Argentine meats. Reviewers frequently mention the stunning vistas of Lago Argentino, especially during sunset, recommending window seats for the best experience. The steaks, particularly the Ojo de bife, are described as some of the best in Argentina—tender and perfectly cooked. While the lamb casserole received mixed feedback regarding its flavor profile, the grilled lamb and Matambre al Roquefort are praised for their taste and massive portion sizes. The service is generally noted as excellent, with some guests even receiving complimentary rides back to their lodging. A few visitors suggested that while the service is friendly, deeper staff knowledge of the wine list could be improved.
