La Balsa Restaurant y Lodge
La Balsa Restaurant and Lodge in Laguna Garzón. José Ignacio Coasts
Location: Laguna Garzón Guy: Restaurant
Thematic proposal that aims to rescue part of the essence of this magical place, which we are happy to inhabit and take care of.
We have an exact replica of the raft that for many years was joining the two banks of the lagoon, being the only means of public transportation. Upon entering our establishment, you are welcomed by two old masts, parts of a “schooner” that was shipwrecked on these coasts back in the year 1700. Also the chains of the ship “Renner” that ran aground one morning of thick fog more than 50 years ago on the rocks of the José Ignacio lighthouse.
We have also found glass buoys from before the plastic era. The authentic sign that indicated the crossing point of the raft. The oars of the fisherman's boat “Cacho Pérez”. Legend with a thousand stories from the coasts of José Ignacio. Our gastronomy, which is based on local raw materials, makes the “catch of the day” literal. It depends on the catch that our neighbors, the fishermen, achieve. Sometimes we have saltwater species and others freshwater species, or sometimes both, depending on the weather, which determines where to fish.
We also cook with native products of the department such as butiá, wild boar and tree bark that flavor and smoke meats in a charcoal iron oven, which together with our griddles are our main fires. We hope that our flavors are to your liking, and that you receive the warmth of our attention, so that you can enjoy the energy of this unique environment.
Thank you for choosing us.
