Tarquino restaurant Bariloche

A charming Patagonian family owned restaurant with a big Cypress tree growing through it, and the now familiar menu of trout, beef, venison, beef, chorizo, beef, beef or beef. I had trout and John had some of the best beef we have had since coming to Argentina. The building is very typical of the area with a log-cabin construction and feel. The town was settled by Swiss and Germans (including famous Nazis like Adolf Eichmann who lived here openly for years) so you see a lot of similar building styles and have some of the best chocolate in the world. Bariloche is primarily a ski resort but its lakes and scenery make it popular all year long.
