The town of Bariloche is one of the hubs of Patagonia's food offerings.
With unrivalled steak and meat barbeques in the town it is worth
spending as many nights as possible sampling the food. The town boasts
hundreds of restaurants but two worth mentioning are Tarquino and La
Familia which both offer friendly service and, compared to English
prices, excellent value for money.
For evening drinks in the town there is a vast array of
bars, which are cheap and friendly and are perfect for an après ski
drink. Students from Buenos Aires come to Bariloche after their exams have finished which in July. This turns Bariloche into a party town at night with 7 or 8 of the clubs frequently finishing well after 7am!! It is difficult to combine the Argentinean party lifestyle with the skiing lifestyle; but if you're there for a while it is well worth experiencing the crazy bars and clubs and taking a day off to recover!
