What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Patagonicus offers a cozy atmosphere and friendly service, making it a popular spot for hearty meals after hiking. While many praise the pizzas and stews, some reviews suggest inconsistency in food quality and a feeling that the establishment might be past its prime. Prices are considered fair, though some note they can be slightly higher.
"Ordered a pizza for takeaway, and the lady who served me was super friendly and spoke great English. She was really helpful, and the whole process was easy. The pizza was ready in 20 minutes, and the price was very reasonable."
Ciaran Shields
"Just ate at the restaurant. Decent food but the milkshake was not good at all. We enjoyed looking at the old photos on the wall. Agree with other reviews that this seems like a once-great spot now past its prime. Worth a visit though if other, better places have long waits."
Blake Maczka

I liked the restaurant Patagonicus as they have good pizzas. Domo Blanco has some of the best ice cream I’ve had (try Super Domo flavor). Otherwise even if you go to the grocery store and stuff your mouth with a bunch of carbs and cook up some eggs, that works too.
