PUBS & RESTAURANTS

The southernmost region of Chile has a great offer to enjoy an unforgettable gastronomic route with food of the best level and good drinks, for all tastes, styles, and pockets. From typical patagonian cuisine to sophisticated preparations, Chilean Patagonia will allow you to have a culinary experience that you will hardly forget.

If you are in Punta Arenas, the must-sees of gastronomy are, without a doubt, a good hot chocolate and the classic “choripán” with milk w/ banana. For lunch or dinner a patagonian lamb, a very varied barbecue, various ways to prepare king crab, a fried black conger, southern hake, hare stews and sea urchins, among many other delicacies in the area .

These types of dishes can be found in the gastronomic district, between the Plaza de Armas and the waterfront, in the streets Errázuriz, O’Higgins, José Menéndez, Monseñor José Fagnano, and Francisco Sampaio Square.

In the Municipal Market of Punta Arenas is where the flavors and aromas of the sea meet. Here you can buy fresh products, such as seafood and fish. In the place, it is also possible to find cookeries with varied preparations.

Puerto Natales, meanwhile, has become an interesting gastronomic center, recognized for its delicacies that can be enjoyed in the different restaurants and pubs located in the city center and on the coastal board. In addition, visits are made to a craft brewery and a gin distillery, to taste its exquisite flavors.

In Tierra del Fuego the typical dish is the Patagonian Style Lamb Barbecue that you can find in restaurants and specially in the Patagonian Estancias (Patagonian ranches) and of course the King Crab.

While in Puerto Williams in Navarino Island, the must is tasting a fresh King Crab, very easy to find as in it costs is where usually is captured, we also recommend the fresh white wild fishe like southern hake and conger.

TIPS

You must consider that even though stores are opened all day, some stores in rural locations take a break for lunch between 1:00 and 3:00 PM.

We also recommend bringing Chilean pesos, most of all for buying basic needs. Some stores accept credit and debit cards but it is not common in all of them.

Remember to always bring cash, Banks and ATMs are not everywhere in Patagonia. In Punta Arenas and Puerto Natales you can find both of them, if you go to Tierra del Fuego, in Porvenir you can find an ATM.

There are stores that accept credit card, but we always recommend having Chilean pesos because some rural areas or hostels may not accept this type of payment.
