What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Rústico Asador y Parrilla is celebrated for its mouthwatering Patagonian lamb and prime cuts of beef, complemented by breathtaking views of Lagoon Argentina and a welcoming atmosphere. Guests frequently praise the attentive service and generous portions, making it a highly recommended dining experience. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, one diner noted a potential MSG sensitivity in some dishes.
"We got the meat plate for 4 and it did not disappoint. It was also nice that they did more lamb since we did not want blood sausage. The service was great and it was helpful that the server spoke some English. The fixings were also very yummy including the flan dessert and cappuccino."

"The restaurant is 15 minutes of walking from our hotel. My wife and I arrived at 6 pm and were able to get a table overlooking Largo Argentino. We ordered trout with stir fried vegetables and risotto with mushrooms and vegetables and a glass each of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The foods were delicious, the wines were good. The staff were friendly and were able to communicate with us in English. Overall, the price was very reasonable by US standards. Overall, it was a very enjoyable diining experience.
An hour after the dinner, my mouth became very dry and I felt very thirsty, which were my typical reactions to food prepared with high MSG content. Because of this, I lowered the Food rating from 5 stars to 4 stars. I will still visit the restaurant again if I happen to be in town in the future, but I will tell the chef to skip the MSG."

"I ordered a Bife medium cook, i noticed it had so much fat and nerves on the meat, it wasn't too tasty, i tried the same cut in Buenos Aires and my experience was totally different. The ambiance is good but for the Bife i won't recommend this place. The charge is higher if u paid with credit card."

Not busy at 7, the waiter spoke English and Spanish, very tourist-oriented. The food was amazing, but a little expensive, as it is located in a tourist town. We got lamb, salmon, and trout.
