The best restaurants Araucania

Creative vegetarian dishes of very good workmanship. Burgers, quiches, calzones, burritos, soups, chop suey, fresh salads, sandwiches (homemade bread)... The breakfast is excellent with a lot of choices on the menu. The plates are coloured with good products, mostly organic and local. During the week, the lunch menu is particularly interesting: vegetarian lasagne, burritos, lentil soup... The service is provided by smiling and caring women. A simple and efficient address that we like very much.

On the corner of Rue Fresia, a good address offering "gastronomic adventures" while honoring Patagonian meats(cerdo, cordero and ciervo) and local products. There are grills, octopus risottos and trout ravioli, children's menus and vegetarian and gluten-free options. The dishes are sometimes surprising. Rustic yet comfortable atmosphere, pleasant service. Bar with different happy-hour suggestions all day long and Pucón craft beers (including Newen and Pillán). Worth a try.

Carla Piana proposes a typical cuisine of...Peru this time! There are good quality dishes: ceviche, pisco sour, arroz chaufa, pollo salteado... the products are fresh and you can taste a bit of exoticism. Pleasant and welcoming, the staff offers excellent service in a relaxed atmosphere. For dessert, the gourmands can't miss the suspiro limeño (we warn you, it's quite sweet) accompanied by a good coffee. You can also taste the Peruvian pisco. Finally, the patio has a beautiful view of the volcano.

A small artisanal bakery, a little out of the way, where you can find some sweet treats and succulent pastries. Soft or crispy, you can find all the classics of the genre: baguettes, sourdough bread, cheese bread, nut bread, chocolatines, croissants, cinnamon or chocolate buns, carrotcake, lemon cake or brownies. There's plenty to warm the soul! You can even sit down and enjoy the hot drinks offered by the house: the hot chocolate makes everyone agree!

A little roadside nugget where you can be surprised by the dishes of a chef as creative as he is friendly. Between the dream-catchers and the pretty pennants that adorn the terrace, you will find wooden tables and chairs where you can settle in comfortably. Whether it's for an early breakfast or a lunchtime menu, everything is delicious: mushroom and tomato jam risotto, homemade pizzas, pumpkin soup, cheesecake... the bread is fresh and crispy, it makes you happy! A nice stop.

A Pucon institution. "El bar de siempre con los de siempre" (the bar of always with the customers of always), that's how this cheerful and simple rade defines itself. After a hard day's sightseeing, this is the place to meet up with friends and fellow travellers for a drink (thehappy hour from Monday to Thursday, from 6pm to 9pm, is undoubtedly not without reason)! The restaurant also serves simple snacks of fairly good quality, served in generous portions. In short, a friendly, lively meeting place.

Why go to Chile for sushi? And why not after all? This friendly address offers an excellent variety of sushi, from the most classic to the most exotic. It's a pity that the service is sometimes one tone down and the music is sometimes a little too loud. It remains one of the city's good addresses and a good stopover for those who would like to treat their taste buds to fresh fish and Asian flavours. Don't forget to accompany it with a good sangria, it's refreshing and homemade!

Situated in the city centre, this purple and pink café is mainly dedicated to teas with a well stocked menu. They also serve excellent coffee, natural juices and a good beer. The menu offers an interesting and varied choice of dishes of all kinds (from pizza to fusion cuisine...). Don't forget to accompany your hot drink with a pastry or even an ice cream. A pretty and cosy atmosphere carried by a neat decoration: when it rains, we rush inside with joy!

Very recent, but already emblematic, this restaurant makes almost a faultless achievement thanks to its gourmet meals and cosy atmosphere. The staff is attentive, the cuisine creative and refined. On the program, soups, sandwiches, salads, ceviche and typical dishes such as trucha rellena, costilla de cerdo, or salmon ravioli (exquisite!). Good selection of artisanal wines and beers. A taste experience at a very good value for money. The only downside is that the service can be very slow, so make sure you have some time to spare!

On the road to the volcano, you won't miss this cosy restaurant all in volcanic stone and cosy interior. We serve a tasty and different gastronomy based on game: deer, roe deer, wild boar or wild rabbit, the menu is nice! More basic dishes such as soups and pizzas are also available. An ideal break after a long day on the slopes. We particularly appreciate the setting, both inside - carpets made of animal skins and fireplaces - and outside, with the view of the forest and the volcano.

El Camino is a veritable institution, where backpackers and visitors returning from expeditions come together to share a cold beer and a deliciously nourishing high-calorie burger in a rocking atmosphere. Themed evenings (around music, sport and food) punctuate the passage of the week, and live music sometimes livens up the evenings! In short, it would be a shame to pass through Pucon without visiting El Camino. For gourmets and beer lovers!

Excellent meat table in a pleasant setting (patio open to the back). Of course we come here for the parrillada, very good and copious: filet mignon, bife ancho, asados... The cooking is perfect and the meat tasty. Grilled salmon with mustard is also very good. Save a place for desserts! We recommend chocolate waffles or the famous "Maga Cup" (vanilla ice cream, caramel, chocolate and whipped cream). An address by the fire, friendly and definitely for the viandards! We speak English and Spanish.

Good Chilean cuisine typical at soft prices. Very popular with locals.

Beautiful pasta and very good seafood also.

This resto-bar offers a nice decoration and a well filled menu. The owner settled here more than 20 years ago after many trips to Europe, the atmosphere is definitely young and international. From spring rolls to Mexican burritos, passing by the Greek salad, the dishes are cosmopolitan, copious and served with a smile. The menu is reasonably priced, but don't expect high gastronomy: it remains simple and correct. Note also that it is one of the only gayfriendly places in the area.
