“ Mesita Grande is a really nice, lively restaurant in Punta Arenas. They serve a variety of fare, including pastas and pizzas. They had good vegetarian options too. We tried a few dishes and found them all to be quite tasty. Service was a bit slow, but they are a popular spot and seem to make things fresh, so I guess that is to be expected. There was one pizza (called The Milodon) that had a uniquely tasting pesto we just could not wrap our taste buds around. Other than that, everything else was great, including their appetizers and desserts. ”
“ We enjoyed a delicious meal here: garlic bread, guanaco steak, fetucine alfedito and tiramisu. Good portion sizes: not too big and not too small. ”
“ Such a good steak (Guanaco) almost at the end of the world ! We waited for the food little longer, but the food made up for it. Pizza and Drinks also great! Would love to come again ! ”
“ It is nice, the food is good generally but the service is pretty woeful. Staff look at you with contempt at every turn, even when trying to pay the bill! We went for the king crab pizza, which we were told was a house speciality but it wasn't until we were seated and reviewing the menu (and managed to get a waiters attention) that we found out they had "run out". Could also have been they no longer do it? Wasn't on the menu anywhere. Still, the pizza we had was nice enough, with his cheesy garlic sticks. They had crab as a starter and that was nice, so I suppose we had our fix. Definitely designed for tourists but hey, that's what we were! Good enough for a decent meal ”
“ Love the ambiance here! I had a fettuccini with pink sauce and chicken, and it was delicious. I don’t eat red meat so I appreciated them having chicken. Service was friendly, too, and close to the waterfront. ”
“ One of the best meals I have ever had in Chile. The fettuccine with smoked salmon was so good it probably spoiled me for life. ”
