Bariloche's streets are cluttered with chocolate shops and ice cream stores. Many restaurants, lodges and artisan shops lie along the dusty Avenida Bustillo, the 25km long road named after the famous architect brothers. Our favorite restaurant was Alberto's, which was filled with diners at 12am in the middle of the week.
