Eight tables, a kitchen that runs hot, and portions that arrive larger than you ordered - La Disquería is the kind of place that stays with you. The disco submarino, a Patagonian seafood chorus built around fresh salmon in cream sauce, is the dish people remember longest; the lamb holds its own. King crab starter with garlic has its own loyal following. Two things matter before you go: a 10% service charge gets added to your bill without asking, and peak-hour waits on the street - in Puerto Natales cold - can stretch past 40 minutes. Arriving before 6 pm is the smarter move.
Get there before 6 pm, because the line in the Patagonian cold can stretch past 40 minutes and the place holds only eight tables. That said, the disco submarino, salmon in a creamy sauce with local shellfish, is the kind of dish people keep talking about long after they leave Puerto Natales
