ratatilli has the distinction of being the  southernmost seaside resort in the country  

and it also has one of the  widest beaches we have ever seen  

we visited on a day trip from the  nearby city of comodoro rivadavia  

so join us for a fun day of sunshine long walks  on the beach and some hearty patagonian dishes  

good morning guys good morning guys hello welcome  to ratati yeah ratatilly beautiful little town  

here located on the coast what 20 or 30 kilometers  from comodoro rivadavia i'd say it's about a half  

hour's bus ride from the city of comodoro  rivadavia this town is right on the coast it  

has a beautiful beach and since we have the full  day here before we need to catch our bus to rio  

gallegos we thought let's take a little day trip  day trip we're gonna walk along the beach there's  

incredible looking sushi we've researched a couple  restaurants so i mean instead of just like waiting  

around in the hotel in the lobby yeah stuck on our  computers all day we're gonna enjoy some sunshine  

some good food and a really nice walk so i'm super  pumped about that um we should talk about how we  

got here so we took a local bus yeah so basically  we went to the bus terminal in comodoro rivadavia  

and there is a bus company called rada tilly  name of the town it's pretty easy and you have  

to get one of those like reloadable magnetic  bus cards yes and i believe the journey was  

55 pesos per person which is less than a dollar  gosh that's an incredible yeah fair so yeah we  

just loaded like you know four fares for the two  of us yeah and when you walk into the bus terminal  

it is i think it's the furthest booth in the  back yeah yeah depends which way you walk in guys  

small terminals you can't miss it and there  were two bosses i believe there were number tens  

each and the buses leave quite frequently every  20 minutes they go from comodo to rada tilly  

yeah so yeah that's good it's fantastic  and so that means we'll easily be able  

to get back into town to catch our bus  overnight bus tonight so yeah i mean this  

is going to be an incredible way to spend  the day and let's get walking to the beach

well guys welcome to the beach nice and windy here  here we are we actually arrived at high tide so  

there isn't a lot of beach to walk on it's kind of  crazy like the waves have just kind of taken over  

the whole shore but it's so cool to see and i mean  the water is a beautiful color it's like turquoise  

it almost feels like you're in the caribbean but  i'm sure if you were to dip a toe you'd be like oh  

hello atlantic that is not one i'm sure i'm  sure it's such a nice breeze here too yeah  

loving it so refreshing oh nothing like the the  breeze along a nice beach and that's salty air

so we've just been walking along the waterfront  here and let me tell you the homes are gorgeous  

and they look every single house is completely  different from the next a completely different  

style and they are more like mansions let me  tell you and yeah very distinct styles the one  

that really caught our attention well it looks  like you could be in santorini or in turkey or  

in bosnia and herzegovina and this home would not  look out of place basically it has blue domes yeah  

it looks like it has a minaret lots of arches the  whole building is painted white yeah it looks like  

they've taken inspiration just from different  parts of that side of the world you know greece  

turkey kind of that area and it's incredible the  reason you're looking over is because it's right  

there wow yeah wow i was not expecting this  like i knew rada tilly was a nice seaside town  

but it surprised me like you can tell there's  a lot of wealth here people really look after  

their properties their gardens their home  everything is just clean immaculate i mean  

the beach is stunning like you don't see garbage  on the beach it's just so beautiful and i mean  

we've only walked maybe two 300 meters we  still have a lot of coastline left to cover  

there's a lot of wow factor here yeah this is  so cool if i had known about this place i would  

have wanted to spend a few days just hanging out  here having like a little beach vacation you know  

a beach occasion seriously what a nice surprise  as we mentioned earlier ratatouille is considered  

the southernmost seaside resort and it's pretty  far south on the continent the warmest the water  

ever gets here is about 17 degrees celsius or 62  degrees fahrenheit so it's really not that warm  

we visited quite early in the summer so while we  noticed a few brave kids running into the water  

most people were just sunbathing if you do visit  pack your swimsuit but maybe also a windbreaker

all right guys time for lunch we're currently  eating at a restaurant that is called hashtag  

in very cool on the beach they do have sushi but  it turns out it's only in the evenings when this  

kind of turns into like a beach bar club however  they have a very nice menu with patagonian dishes  

so i ordered the risotto with seafood sam is  getting the patagonian lamb with another risotto  

with wine i believe so it should be good the bread  has arrived fresh out of the oven super good with  

a garlicky mayo it is delicious super delicious  bread super delicious and we also got a patagonian  

wine this one is called la polerosa we've had  it before it's very good so cheers my friend  

yeah we're having authentic patagonian food  here in patagonia i got the creamy risotto with  

seafood and it has a little bit of everything  there's calamari shrimp mussels scallops

it's just really buttery and cheesy  you can see the strings of cheese there  

very rich this is so nice and we're  eating it by the ocean we're on the beach

nice bottle of wine good music  what more do you want like it's  

like this is paradise when i ordered this dish  the waitress was like the best selection yeah  

she was like you're gonna be coming back to  this restaurant this is a giant piece of lamb  

and a very generous portion of what looks to be  a creamy risotto cheesy risotto yeah yours comes  

with saffron i'm blown away i'm blown away by the  portion and i can't wait to try this we actually  

we met a we met a gentleman who was sitting  outside and he told us that he told us that  

the the cordero the lamb here is the best and so  i'm incredibly excited to have this first bite

that's the best lamb i've ever had in my whole  life really really big statement right there  

it's like next level tender the taste is  off the charts and there's a really nice  

sort of sweet and savory sauce to go along  with it it's just oh my gosh today we're  

just killing time to catch the bus how do  we get so lucky to come to such a beautiful  

destination and have such nice food yeah  unbelievable turned out well try the risotto

super cheesy this is like this is a top three  meal on this entire trip that we've been on for  

over two months so unbelievable food i also  like the look of those caramelized onions  

yeah garlic there it's soft it's just unbelievable  that we're having such good food right now  

i'm i'm blown away well well blown away  in is the name of the restaurant guys  

i mean it's obviously the best location maybe i  don't know maybe the best food too in town yeah we  

thought we were coming for sushi but this turned  out to be a great surprise dessert has arrived  

because this restaurant has been so phenomenal and  we're enjoying the sea breeze and the beach views  

we're keeping the good times  rolling we've had chocolate vulcan  

in uh in argentina patagonia but we've never had  a dulce de leche chocolate can and so i'm going to  

break this open and you're going to see dulce  de leche a caramel sauce moves out watch this  

let's turn that around so i can  watch it you see oh he destroyed it  

okay there you have it so grab some ice  cream grab some cake with dulce de leche

here we go

how is this restaurant so so everything is so  delicious at this place dulce de leche is so  

warm that it's like a lava it's amazing it really  is a vulcan it's like it's a volcano you break it  

open and then the the the lava is seeping out it's  just so good with the ice cream and the chocolate  

cake around the outside we're good if you haven't  had this before it's kind of like the consistency  

and taste of a brownie if i lived here i would be  coming here very often this is a great restaurant

so so we're now at the beach doing a little  beach combing that's what it's called right  

when you look for seashells this is my mom's  hobby whenever we travel to a beach destination  

so i feel like i'm turning into her but  i'm looking for nice seashells for her  

i found one like this let me tell you i found  a perfect beautiful white seashell and i'm  

about to go grab it and sam's like walking around  distracted and crack he steps right on it broke it  

in half and i'm like no it was pristine it was  all white no spots no holes and he's just like  

oh my gosh stop complaining like a giant stop  complaining oh my god i didn't even see it i know  

you didn't see it so distracted while i'm beach  combing um well thanks for that rent rent alert  

anyways what about the price the price of lunch  it was it was a pricey lunch but it's a really  

nice restaurant on the beach the food was  amazing and we got a whole bottle of wine  

like lately we've been doing half bottles  because it's like we don't need that much  

alcohol in the middle of the day well we had a  lot we have a lot of time to kill and there was a  

there was a lot of food i think we sat at that  restaurant for like two hours two and a half  

hours at least so three hours look at the time  we've been sitting there eating and drinking  

almost for three and so you think about it we  had gourmet bread with with an amazing dip a  

full bottle of wine from patagonia argentina two  amazing mains and uh delicious dessert to share  

yeah 25 bucks per person it came to about 3 000  pesos which right now is at the time of our visit  

50 us dollars 25 per person so not horrible but  it is pricey for argentina patagonia you can  

eat well for a lot cheaper but it was a special  that's a top three meal on the trip though yes  

and that's i think that's a i can say that's  the nicest location we've been yeah in terms of  

setting like the only restaurant right on on the  beach like on the sand everything else is on the  

waterfront it is gourmet food yeah and i feel like  that's that's a meal that you won't forget anytime  

soon so when in doubt if you're looking to splurge  a little bit go there for sure go there for sure

well guys we've now been here  in rada tilly for a few hours  

we arrived when it was high tide now it's gone  out and it's still continuing to go out and you  

would not believe the size of the beach it is  so wide it is crazy such a huge transformation

so we just finished visiting the regional museum  here in rada tilly it's small but it was very  

cool so it's mostly taxidermy of like the local  wildlife here in this area yeah so we saw some  

pretty cool animals yeah a giant sea lion yeah i  mean when we did our whole peninsula the bird that  

was the most impressive the biggest albatross  wasn't it was it an albatross yeah i think so  

it was really cool seeing a sea lion because  when we did our whole peninsula valdez tour  

we saw them from a distance but like here you  have it up close and personal sure it's stuffed  

but like you can really admire the size of it  like that was pretty awesome and yeah there's  

old fossils and admission it's the wind's blowing  trash on sam admission is 35 pesos for 50 cents  

at this time 50 cents about 50 60 cents yeah  not bad at all worth a little visit exactly  

and that was our day trip to rada tilly we  hope you enjoyed the visit and we'll see you  

on the next episode where we continue  our journey even further south tata
