Patagonia’s top seafood-focused fine dining restaurant — elegant cuisine highlighting the incredible shellfish, squid, and cold-water seafood of Argentina’s Atlantic coast.
Why It Belongs on the List
Located in Puerto Madryn, gateway to Peninsula Valdés, Cassis has become one of Patagonia’s most respected culinary destinations for seafood and regional cuisine. Chef-owner Gustavo Rapretti blends French technique with local Patagonian ingredients, creating refined dishes centered around spider crab, Patagonian scallops, hake, squid, lamb, and seasonal produce. The dining room overlooks the Golfo Nuevo waterfront, giving the restaurant a calm coastal atmosphere that matches the cuisine’s precision and elegance.
What Stands Out
- Patagonia’s premier seafood restaurant
- Focus on local Atlantic shellfish and seafood
- Waterfront Puerto Madryn location
- Refined Patagonian wine pairings
- Chef-driven contemporary Argentine cuisine
- Excellent after whale-watching excursions
