Located within the grounds of the Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa, in the Cerro Alarkén nature reserve, La Cravia operates as a fine-dining proposal that integrates with the surroundings of the world’s southernmost city. The restaurant draws on its strategic position to offer an experience that pairs the landscape of the Martial Range and the coastline with a culinary identity closely tied to the local resources of Tierra del Fuego.

Culinary identity and local produce

The menu specializes in highlighting the authentic flavors of Patagonia, using ingredients emblematic of the region. Among the most recognized preparations are dishes built around king crab, including king crab empanadas — characterized by a balanced filling — and king crab raviolones. The offering also includes black hake and Patagonian lamb, incorporating techniques aimed at bringing out the freshness of the product. For those who prefer a different dynamic, the establishment offers a buffet option presenting a variety of fresh seafood, salads, and a dessert selection in which pavlova stands out.

Setting and surroundings

The space is distinguished by its architecture and its relationship with the landscape, offering panoramic views that take in both the city of Ushuaia and the Beagle Channel. The atmosphere is designed to match the scale of the reserve’s natural surroundings, allowing for an ambiance that combines the sophistication of resort service with the calm of Fuegian nature. The layout of the space encourages a contemplative experience, where the quality of the plating accompanies the observation of the southern horizon.

Experience at the destination

The proposal addresses both the need for a formal dinner and that of a lunch or brunch within a context of exclusivity and contact with nature. As part of a larger complex, La Cravia serves as a reference point for those seeking technically accomplished cooking that does not lose sight of the origin of its ingredients. It is a space that fits into the city’s circuit for those who wish to explore the flavors of sea and mountain in an environment defined by service excellence and landscape integration.
