The best restaurants San Pedro De Atacama

One of the best places to taste the typical Chilean cuisine and eat with the locals. They offer very good empanadas with cheese, tomato and basil and pizzas, ajiaco con ensalada, cazuela vacuno, ceviche, charquicán, pastel de choclo, costillar de cerdo, lomo a lo pobre, chupe de locos... The portions are generous, the service is efficient and the atmosphere friendly. This is what you might call a charming "boui-boui", an authentic place where you can enjoy yourself without breaking the bank.

Pizzas, spaghetti, soups, salads or enchiladas, this is the address that will make everyone happy. The atmosphere is pleasant in summer and winter, on the terrace or by the fire. A safe bet that will please everyone, where the cuisine is very international, lulled by good music and rock paintings hung in the patio. You can connect to the Internet in the back room. It's quite crowded in the evening, it's one of the best meeting points... between foreigners, it is understood. Also good in the evening for a drink!

The address of small budgets. Very rustic… Here we are in Chile, and prices show this, as are the dishes (chicken, empanadas, etc.).

A stone's throw from Caracacoles, in Tocopilla (one of the perpendicular streets), push open the double-leaf door of Picada del Indio and take a look at the menu. Typical Chilean dishes from the four corners of the country are prepared here in generous portions (and at very honest prices compared to the more sophisticated addresses on the main street). Grilled chicken, beef or fish served with vegetables, French fries or rice; mixed salads; pizza; chorillana... There's something for every taste and appetite. A local address just the way we like it.

Victor is responsible for this little gem of a restau-bar. A great jazz aficionado and ardent defender of local culture, Victor decided to create Pulperia in 2023 with the aim of creating a space for exchange. Over a plate of pasta (homemade) and a good wine or pisco sour (recipes are plentiful here!), almost every evening there's a small concert organized around the piano and amplifiers. The atmosphere is pleasantly cosmopolitan. Local produce store. A place with a difference.

Perhaps one of the best addresses for healthy eating in Caracoles. The huge serving room unfurls under a skilfully arranged thatched roof, and all the elements of the decor, natural and colorful, contribute to creating a sense of well-being. On the menu, in addition to a fine collection of juices and smoothies, there's a choice of salads, pastas, tacos, sandwiches, soups and ceviches, as well as meat and fish dishes. Todo Natural's strength also lies in its excellent vegetarian dishes and pleasant service!

Restaurant that has been able to meet tourist expectations. A patio with a roof roof, where a great fire comes to warm the cool nights of the desert. Good music, excellent service and menu not too expensive midday and evening, with special attention for vegetarians.

From the street, you can see the foyer, which invites you to come in. The menu is not too expensive, and the cuisine is good and varied. A little dilettante service, but it is not very serious since we are welcomed with kindness and good humour. The Lola gradually becomes an institution, the atmosphere is pleasant at the beginning of the evening, there is someone who plays the piano from time to time, then after dinner the atmosphere is more festive in the backyard where there is a floor: we take a lot of attention during electro evenings or karaoke parties.

Cheap wines. To try: The risotto of quinoa, the chicken to Rica-Rica, the typical milanesa napolitana Argentine… The card is in French and you exchange books.

Who says eating well is expensive? This inexpensive Chilean kitchen is perfect for lunch. They bring you a small piece of paper with a few options for dishes (the casuelas and lentil soups are delicious) all set in a tree-lined backyard where the birds come to sing. The service is not exceptional, but the portions are generous and the prices are mini compared to the average restaurant in the village. And considering the flavour of the dishes, you will have understood, this small address is worth the detour.

If you're looking for a small, go-to restaurant ready to concoct your lunchtime snacks then look no further! Roots will satisfy any craving with gluten free and vegetarian options, the sandwiches are homemade and eaten with love. It's the perfect choice if you're looking for a takeaway for a day out. On site, the space is small and charming, the walls are lined with pictures of pop culture icons and the girls serving are all smiles. Finally, the coffee is particularly delicious!
