With its quirky memorabilia and postings of local environmental issues you've never
heard of, this former general store is a peek inside the real Ushuaia. Locals hold their
pow-wows here. Croissants and crusty baguettes are baked by the French pastry chef.
But there's also local beer on tap, a wine list, and light fare such as sandwiches, soups
and quiche.
