I asked waiter if their Patagonia Cordero better or beef steak better, and he strongly suggest Cordero. In fact, it is truly the best I have tried before. The draft beer is also great with a kind of special flavor. Great food and good service.

Restaurante La Picada de Carlitos in Puerto Natales is the kind of place that turns a Patagonia trip into an unforgettable memory. The atmosphere is simple and welcoming, full of locals and tired trekkers refueling after long days in Torres del Paine, and the plates that come out of the kitchen are absolutely huge and full of flavor. The Patagonian cordero here is on another level – slow-roasted until the meat almost melts off the bone, with a deep, smoky flavor that you simply will not find anywhere else in the world. It comes in generous portions, paired with classic sides like papas and ensalada a la chilena, and every bite tastes like pure Patagonia on a plate. This is the kind of lamb you remember years later, the dish you compare every other cordero to and nothing else quite matches.Service is warm and efficient, with friendly waiters who keep the experience relaxed even when the restaurant is full, and prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you get. If you are in Puerto Natales and want a real Chilean meal, La Picada de Carlitos is a must-visit – and the Patagonian cordero is the star you cannot miss.

Rather big restaurant with an interesting menu and fair prices. Food and drink are solid, and do not disappoint. My waiter (Christopher) was great, too. Unfortunately, it was not possibly to get the bill within 20 minutes after asking, and, paying at the counter, I found the place where they hid the staff that should not interact with customers because they are bored and do not care. Sad finish of an otherwise nice experience.

Food i had was really average. If you are in for seafood soup, try El Bote instead. Lamb Parilla was recommended by server, and it tasted pretty average. The only plus side here is that it has a big hall to accommodate big groups.

Food is pretty good and service is pretty fast. Large hall like space to accommodate many big groups. The popular items appears to be the king crab salad and the mixed meat platter. The meat platter includes chicken, pork, beef, sausage, blood sausage, and lamb. The lamb was definitely the star of the show, extremely flavorful and tender. We saw another group ordering an entire platter of lamb which might be a better choice if you’re a fan of lamb. It wasn’t too gamey for those that don’t enjoy strong lamb flavors.
