The best restaurants Puerto Natales

Intimate and convivial, this address, run by a couple from the region and from Zambia, offers a real culinary journey: local products are combined with a certain fusion. A la carte: giant crab to lick your lips (also in a salad with mango), salmon ceviche, lamb with mint or apricots, beef and tuna tartar, Ecuadorian tuna steak... without forgetting the fabulous desserts. The plates look like real little works of art. Very attentive and professional service. Very popular and often full: remember to book.

The meeting of all carnivores. Specialty: cordero al-palo. Yes, the sheep is cooked in the main room, which finds itself smoked… Some of them are disturbed, but in our view it is part of the atmosphere, especially as the (very local) garden is nice as everything. Small adjoining room for smokers, less pleasant. Another corner (the «Shameless club») where you can play cards. Consistent pricing. A good address, that we prefer to Don Jorge on the same place (much more touristic and impersonal according to us).

In an exceptional setting, on the edge of the fjord, you will discover the succulent French fusion cuisine of Chef Hernán Basso, a true cordon bleu. Let yourself be seduced by the hare à l'escabèche, the homemade smoked salmon or the giant crab salad; continue with a divine fillet of guanaco, a southern whiting, a lamb mouse with Roquefort and red wine). Or would you rather have beef or lamb? In any case, be sure to leave room for desserts: the lemon and strawberry tart from Natales and the vanilla and manjar millefeuille are exquisite!

Fish and seafood specialties(chupe de centolla, scallops, garlic shrimp, conger eel, fresh crab, salmon...), but also cordero. Smiling and friendly service in a typical and local environment. A very chilena address and popular with locals. Opened by the chef Manuel Marín, highly esteemed and respected in the town, this restaurant is still in operation despite the death of its creator and offers small dishes of very good quality. A typical address promising flavors and generosity.

This restaurant is still new and has a nice setting (wood, portholes...) and offers a varied menu and local flavours. The dishes are relatively copious and good value for money (fish, seafood, barbecued meats, etc.). A lot of locals meet for lunch: normal, the menu is really cheap. It's a perfect fit because there are dishes for all tastes and budgets. However, we recommend more meat, fish and seafood that sometimes lack flavour.

As its name suggests, this small restaurant with its rustic atmosphere and architecture (wooden slices and pebbles on the walls) offers very good wood-fired pizzas, lamb in all its forms, salmon, pasta and sandwiches. The dishes are homemade and relatively copious. The good news is that the kitchen closes late (sometimes until 1am), so this is the address to remember for freshly landed and particularly hungry travellers! The music playlist is nice, you can even make your own suggestions!

This small Chilean restaurant is very popular with locals. It mainly serves southern specialties such as cordero (mutton) or paila marina (seafood and fish soup), but also sandwiches. The service is very fast, immediately ordered, immediately served and the dishes are very copious. The cuisine is neither refined nor delicate but certainly nourishing. Order the lamb, cooked on embers, it is the emblematic dish of the house and the meat is delicious. A local canteen that does the job perfectly.
