3 Best Restaurants in The Southern Coast, Chile

The restaurant's fireplace and library supply ambience while you dine on some of the finest food on the Carretera Austral, such as Chilean and regional dishes like grilled trout and roasted lamb, which are prepared with style and organic, locally grown ingredients. An added benefit is that the restaurant is co-run by a longtime American rafting guide who can give inside info on outdoor activities in the area. The restaurant's bar is also a local hangout, so it's a good place to meet people. Call in advance to get the best table.

Here you can enjoy quality home-cooked meals prepared by the owners---such as incredible steaks, crab stew, and freshly caught fish---as well as yummy pastries, including apple cinnamon rolls straight from the oven.

On a cold, rainy day nothing is finer than partaking of a rico coffee and küchen cake at Café Mandala in Futaleufú. Their calling card is their fine breakfasts, but don't miss out on their hot chocolate, delicious cakes, and homemade bread.
