Restaurante el Bote Cerveza Natales

Fantastic restaurant with very fast service. There was a great atmosphere with plenty of people enjoying themselves, sadly some live music began just as we had finished our dessert. We’d love to go back. The food was excellent, with a very homemade feel. We opted for a tuna steak and the sea bass and it was delicious. We finished it off with a tasty tiramisu.

We had a wonderful lunch for three at this cozy spot! The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish beautifully prepared. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, making the experience even more special. A perfect combination of great food and warm hospitality—highly recommend!

Very good food, waitress were very nice. Highly recommend their fish and king crab dish.

We had lunch at el Bote today and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The highlight of my meal was the seafood soup—it was incredibly fresh and flavorful, with a rich, savory broth that perfectly complemented the assortment of seafood. Every bite was packed with perfectly cooked shrimp, scallops, and tender pieces of fish that melted in my mouth. Beyond the fantastic food, the service was just as impressive. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring we had everything we needed and even taking the time to make personal recommendations. It’s clear they genuinely care about their guests’ experience, which made the meal even more enjoyable! Highly recommend !

If you are looking for homely atmosphere and good food, El Bote is place for you. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and the tip is included so you don't need to bother if you run low with the cash.

Great food, service, and big portions. Our group ate here the day before we left for the W Trek and came back to eat here when we returned.

It was just OK and very expensive. All the dishes probably fresh, but everything overdone. Octopus a bit chewy, king crab kinda dry. The ceviche was the only dish not overdone. Also don't bother with the guanaco; I don't think it's this place alone, the whole animal is tough and flavorless. Much better options in town, sadly can't escape the live music there either, but at least is short.

I had Guanaco stew with veggies and a Calafate juice (no alcohol). I followed the recommendations of my nice tour guide to try Guanaco stew after I've tried Llama in Chile and Alpaca in Peru. People were friendly, but I think tourists get a special price tag or menu. Food was served within a few minutes (3 min) and okay, but it was pretty tough and very dark compared to other pics in the reviews. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be like this. Obviously, it wasn't freshly cooked, but it was stew, and if there isn't a high demand for it, it makes sense to precook it. To give one star would be unfair, but before I received the bill, I would have given 4 stars, but after I received the bill, I felt fairly ripped off and betrayed. I swear on the menu, it said 19.000 for the stew, and she said a side dish is included, but they charged 24.000. There were no non-alcoholic drinks on the menu, so the waitress recommended some juices, and I decided to choose Calafate. Big mistake because they charge 7.000 for all kind of juices, even apple juice (see reviews). As usual, they put the 10 % tip on it and what should I do about it, because no one is going to say no please change the bill, I don't pay the tip. So after being charged more, I could also pay the tip, which added 10 € more to my bill. And there's not much you can do about it. But what really annoyed me most was the fact that the 2 waitresses whispered secretly after she saw my shocked face when looking at the bill and asking if the side dish was really included. Probably thinking I can't afford their wannabe-fancy restaurant....well I am travelling for 12 years non-stop and even if I don't have to actively work for my income, I am not as dumb as people think to waste it or be overcharged like an idiot....
