Costumbrista

Top choice in Puerto Varas


This little, unassuming Chiloé-inspired eatery is Puerto Varas' secret gourmet cocinería (kitchen). It's a two-man, eight-table show among aqua clapboard walls with a limited menu of fish and heartier dishes – a perfect pork chop, osso buco, a beautiful salmon or meluza (hake) – and is executed with skill and results that completely outshine its extraordinary-value price range.

Given its location a few hundred meters above the hubbub, it still feels like a find. Reserve!
