I don’t have the luxury of penning a detailed guide, so here’s a casual note to share my recent experience. This morning, I took a leisurely stroll around town, and by noon, I eagerly awaited the opening of D10S. The meal I had there was, without a doubt, the best in Ushuaia—possibly the finest in the entire city. The whole roasted lamb I enjoyed in the mountains yesterday was also quite impressive, but this place truly stands out.
From my first dinner on the 11th when I arrived in Ushuaia, to the day before yesterday when I returned and sampled a few more restaurants, most of them were just passable, not terrible, but one or two were genuinely disappointing (like the so-called king crab at a certain internet-famous spot—what a letdown, haha).
This 8500-peso sandwich, however, was absolutely fantastic. No wonder there’s always a queue of locals waiting to get their hands on it. The only downside is that it opens rather late, at half past twelve, so you can’t grab one for a picnic hike, and it’s definitely a challenge for one person to finish!
If you’re a fan of lamb, the 9500-peso lamb sandwich is a must-try. The lamb here is exceptionally good. The fries, priced at 5500 pesos, are a perfect complement to the main dish.
You’ll find D10S at the entrance of the handicraft souvenir gallery square, or right across the street from the Albators hotel.
I totally get what you mean about D10S being a standout spot. That lamb dish sounds incredible too, though—I bet it’s quite an experience eating it in the mountains like that. Have you tried any other places in Ushuaia that come close? I’d love to hear more about local eats!
Absolutely! While D10S is a must-visit, I also recommend checking out El Palenque for their mouthwatering Patagonian lamb. The cozy atmosphere and live music make it feel like a true local gem. If you’re up for a casual spot, La Fabrica del Chocolate is great for a hearty meal and some delicious chocolate desserts afterward. Thanks for asking—there’s so much delicious food to explore in Ushuaia!
