size beds, full bathtubs, contemporary art on the walls...it's wonderful what gambling
money can buy you.
El Chancho Rengo
CAFE $
(cnr Av San Martín & Etcheluz; sandwiches AR$30-50; 8am-11:30pm)
It's reasonably likely
that half the town saunters in here for an espresso every day. Its outdoor tables and good
coffee and sandwiches make it great for a light bite.
Mayrouba
ARGENTINE $$$
(cnr Monti & Etcheluz; mains AR$80-120; 8am-1am; )
The best-looking restaurant in
town also serves up some of the tastiest fare. There are shades of Middle Eastern influen-
ce on the menu and Patagonian faves such as smoked trout. If you're up for a few drinks,
it turns into a bar later on, with an impressive cocktail list.
