"(Translated by Google) The best view of Lake Lacar in SMA.
We miss the smoked trout sandwich and the lentil stew with lamb and venison but still, they have a menu with homemade and very good quality options.
The attention of the staff is a plus without a doubt.
Super recommended 💯

La mejor vista al lago Lacar de SMA.
Extrañamos el sándwich de trucha ahumada y el guiso de lentejas con cordero y ciervo pero aún así, tienen una carta con opciones caseras y de muy buena calidad.
La atención del personal es un plus sin dudas.
Súper recomendable 💯"

"(Translated by Google) A must visit if you pass through San Martín for lunch with spectacular views of Lake Lacar. It has a limited menu but with just enough for all tastes, the dishes are super abundant and the price according to the dish and the place. Very good and willing attention. The impeccable bathrooms.
(Original)
Visita obligada si pasas por San Martín para un almuerzo con vistas espectaculares al lago Lacar. Tiene una carta acotada pero con lo justo para todos los gustos, los platos son súper abundantes y el precio acorde al plato y al lugar. La atención muy buena y predispuesta. Los baños impecables."

"(Translated by Google) Highly recommended. We were undecided because it didn't have very good reviews but the truth is, it is the best place to have a snack in SMA. We went twice because we loved it, we booked by phone even though there were not many people (5 pm). The prices are a little high but it is completely worth it for the view and the beautiful place. The attention is first class, the girls are super friendly. The snack for two was abundant, we ate well and had leftovers. I recommend the banana smoothie. Everything is excellent, I recommend going on a sunny day to see the beautiful colors of the sunset.
(Original)
Recomendadísimo. Estabamos indecisos porque no tenia muy buenas reseñas pero la verdad el mejor lugar para merendar en SMA. Fuimos dos veces porque nos encantó, reservamos por teléfono aunque no había mucha gente (5 pm). Los precios están un poquito elevados pero lo vale completamente por la vista y el lugar hermoso. La atención es de primera, súper amables las chicas. La merienda para dos, abundante, comimos bien y nos sobró. Recomiendo el licuado de banana. Todo excelente, les recomiendo ir un día soleado para ver los hermosos colores del atardecer."
