Located on Avenida Exequiel Bustillo, Kilometro Uno Resto (commonly known as KM1) is a key stopping point along the lakeside route of San Carlos de Bariloche. Its name refers directly to its precise position on the road, where modern architecture and the warm materials typical of the region seek to blend with the natural surroundings. The establishment functions not only as a place to sit and eat, but as a privileged vantage point over the waters of Lago Nahuel Huapi.

Culinary offering and regional flavours

The menu draws on the tradition of Argentine and Patagonian cooking, with a strong focus on the grill. Among its best-known preparations are grilled lamb and a lamb sandwich version — an option that allows guests to enjoy local flavours in a more relaxed way. Trout, another emblematic product of the area, also features on the menu, alongside classic desserts such as crème brûlée. To accompany meals, the menu includes a selection of wines, spirits, and beers, as well as coffee for those looking for a break during their journey along the coast.

Setting and lakeside experience

The dining room is designed to make the landscape the centrepiece. Large windows frame the mountains and the lake, allowing natural light and the shifting colours of sunset to define the atmosphere at the table. The pace of service suits both a leisurely lunch in the sun and a more unhurried dinner. On days with pleasant weather, the experience extends to the outdoor benches set beside the water, where guests can take in the natural surroundings without leaving the comfort of the restaurant’s service.

KM1 fits naturally into the rhythm of those travelling along Avenida Bustillo who are looking for a place that combines a substantial meal with a striking visual backdrop. It is a spot that serves both as a full dining destination and as a practical stop for a coffee or a regional product, making good use of its strategic position on the lake shore.
