Chocolates Benroth

Chocolates Benroth is one of the most recognized names in the gastronomic scene of Villa La Angostura. With an established presence in the town since 1995, this space has become a reference point for those walking through the village center, integrating into the local and tourist consumption landscape that characterizes the lake region.

Tradition and roots in Patagonia

The history of this chocolate shop is tied to the arrival of families who sought a new beginning in the area. The business was founded by Edgardo Cortese, who, after having lived in Buenos Aires, settled in Patagonia several decades ago. This personal transition is reflected in the identity of the shop, which combines traditional techniques with the context of a Villa La Angostura that has grown significantly since its founding.

The establishment functions not only as a point of sale but also as a witness to the development of the winter season and to how the region’s climate influences the rhythms of the community. Its presence on Avenida Los Arrayanes for nearly three decades allows it to connect with the memory of long-time residents and with the new generations of visitors who arrive in the area during the snow months.

The character of local gathering

The space stands out for offering an inclusive environment, designed to be a safe and welcoming meeting point for diverse identities. This characteristic gives it a social dimension that goes beyond the purely commercial, making it a place where the local community and tourism coexist in an atmosphere of respect and hospitality.

The experience inside the shop is shaped by the atmosphere typical of mountain chocolate shops, where the products are presented as an essential part of the region’s culture. Located in an area of high foot traffic, its presence is a constant in the route of those passing through the heart of Villa La Angostura, acting as a link between artisanal offerings and the identity of the destination.
