Jauja

Bariloche & the Lake District


The most dependable confitería (cafe offering light meals) in town serves up all your faves with some El Bolsón touches (such as homemade bread and strawberry juice) thrown in. The daily specials are worth checking out – the risotto with lamb and wild mushrooms is divine. The attached ice creamery is legendary – make sure you leave room for a kilo or two.
