El Boliche De Alberto

Definitely a tourist trap. A zoo to get in as they take no reservations and you wait one hour regardless what time you come. Dinner ambiance poor I’m still working, waiters moving like robots on assembly line, feels cantina rushed, mediocre food and portions ridiculously big. Order smallest of each, it still can feed a family of four. Our #1 in Bariloche was Carnero #2 El Patacon ambiance and food outstanding …#5 Family Weiss and this one #+10. This is a real review, Google do not remove.

El Boliche de Alberto is by far the best steakhouse in Bariloche. If you are looking for outstanding Argentine beef, this place is an absolute must. The steaks are of exceptional quality, perfectly grilled, and incredibly juicy — exactly how a great steak should be. The service is excellent and attentive. The staff is very friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive, without being intrusive. They are also happy to help with recommendations regarding the different cuts of meat and cooking points. The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, with a special highlight being the grill located right in the middle of the restaurant. Watching the grill masters at work adds to the experience and gives the place a truly traditional Argentine feel. A small but important tip for future guests: the side dishes are very, very large. Unless you have a huge appetite, it’s a good idea to share them — otherwise, you might run out of space for the amazing steak. Overall, El Boliche de Alberto is an absolute must-visit in Bariloche and the perfect place for an unforgettable steak experience. 🥩🔥

A great classic parrilla experience. Line up early to get a table when it opens, but it’s worth the wait.

It was the most delicious meat I’ve ever had in my life! Both the chorizo and the ribeye steak we ordered were absolutely incredible. Chef Gustavo and his teammate are truly talented. Gustavo himself took our order and was exceptionally attentive and kind – I’ve never met a chef who gives such personalized, VIP-level attention to his guests. The waiters were also incredibly friendly and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for everything, and keep that beautiful smile, Gustavo!

This place lived up to the hype in opinion. Absolute top quality Argentine meat at a solid price for the American traveler. Service is friendly and like you would expect in the region, extremely laid back. We sat down the minute they opened at 8pm and left after 10pm with no problem at all, despite people waiting. Everything was delicious.
