Why Travelers Love Alto El
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Amazing lamb and trout. Nice smoky and delicious,and extremely tender. Not too fatty which makes it delicious to eat. The vegetable and potato as a side are also scrumptious. The waiters and service is excellent. Only factor is that it is quite expensive… Just everything about this place is fantastic. The setting, the food, the service. We had the Trout (Trucha) and the Fillet Mingon. Both were amazing. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly, spoke great english and was happy to endure our efforts to practice our poor spanish! Wine list was extensive too. Would definitely recommend, and likely will go back a second time before we leave (they are just not open on Sunday). I ordered medium rare on my steak but I got welldone. Very disappointed but it was still very tasty.

Couldn’t say anything bad about this place. We had lamb? The sirloin, the roasted veggies, empanadas, and the chorizo with chimichurri. All of it was amazing. They also had homemade bread that was great. Went with family and we couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. Our waitress was wonderful and was willing to speak English to us even though we speak Spanish. Very accommodating. Would recommend it to anyone who wants some good Argentine grilled meats!

Probably the best ribeye steak I have had in my life, well I am only 55 :) This place is the best steakhouse in Bariloche, we visited a few "famous" ones and this is hands down our favorite. In fact we came twice . The ribeye was done Argentinian medium "on the point" and it was grilled to perfection. Juicy with full flavors. We also took the grilled vegetables which are a great side to the steak. The music and atmosphere is pleasant a lot of 80s music and other classics. Service was super friendly and they made us feel relaxed even with our lack of Spanish. The only recommendations I will note is that it's a shame they don't offer an affordable glass of red wine in the menu to make it absolutely perfect ;) Now a life journey begins to find something similar to their steaks, which I know will be impossible.
