La Fonda Del TíO

We shared a half portion Milanesa Napolitana, fries, and salad. Delicious and fresh and our server was very kind to try to communicate with us in English as we tried (badly) in Spanish. It all worked out and we got exactly what we wanted with plenty to take home for tomorrow’s lunch. The meat was very tender and well seasoned. The sides were tasty and the service was quick and attentive. Would recommend coming hungry and early enough to get a spot in line. Bring cash for tip but you can pay your bill with card.

This was one of my favorite meals in Bariloche, and on our whole trip. We arrived at dinner time and there was a line outside. That usually is a good sign. We waited around 45 minutes but that was worth it to me. The inside has such a cozy and exciting vibe. So many people enjoying their meals and being waited on by a team of men bustling around in dark red jackets. I knew this was about to be a great meal. I was with two friends. We decided to split a 1/2 order of the Milanesa Napolitana and the daily special which was two chorizos on a bed of mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables; covered in a rich and herby sauce. We also started with two of the empanadas as a snack. They were very crispy, but the fillings were just ok. The Milanesa was a show-stopper. You have to get this while you’re here and split it. Even with three hungry men it was a lot of food! It was delicious too. Definitely don’t order if you can’t eat cheese. 😂 The chorizos were nice too, just not as great as the Milanesa. We really wish that we had ordered some of the pastas too. We also enjoyed a bottle of the house wine which (I think) our waiter said was one of the only Malbec wines that is made in Patagonia instead of up north in the popular wine country. I would love to visit again one day!

I ordered 1 milanesa plus fries and salad. They offered complimentary bread. Super yummy but too much for two. I suggest ordering 1/2 milanesa for 2 people.

What a wonderful restaurant!! Several rooms in two floors, fast and friendly service and delicious food. You definitely have to try the milanesa, the best I have had in argentina. On top of that the prices are lower than average in Bariloche. A must visit if you are around.
