About
Gustino is the latest gastronomical stopover in Ushuaia. Situated in the Albatros Hotel, this attractive, modern restaurant has glass walls overlooking the bay. Furnishings are clean cut and simple, with soft orange undertones and the occasional wood panel wall or rock pillar. The menu includes homemade lamb pâté and local lamb marinated in Syrah wine. The steaming starter of mussels is so tasty you want to chew on the shells. The highlight of the menu is a lasagna made from pastry layers and smoked salmon. The salmon dish itself comes in a huge slab the size of a sirloin steak. A local wine supplier, the owner Ezequiel puts a lot of attention into his wine list, and his air-conditioned glass and wrought-iron wine cellar has pride of place in the center of the restaurant. (Try the Patagonian Marcus Cabernet Franc.) Service is prompt and attentive. The restaurant is open all day, every day, and makes a good pit stop for a casual coffee or milkshake.
